The Bachelor Girl's Guide to Murder by Rachel McMillanMy rating: 💛💛💛
This was another enjoyable cozy mystery featuring the antics and adventure of Merinda and Jem and the dashing gentlemen heroes Ray and Jason who had to get them out of a bind or two.
I enjoyed following Merinda and Jem on their journey to solving the crime and finding their feet in a male dominated world, where ladies was expected to just marry and be happy.
Looking forward to their next adventure.

About the book:
In 1910 Toronto, while other bachelor girls perfect their domestic skills and find husbands, two friends perfect their sleuthing skills and find a murderer.
Inspired by their fascination with all things Sherlock Holmes, best friends and flatmates Merinda and Jem launch a consulting detective business. The deaths of young Irish women lead Merinda and Jem deeper into the mire of the city's underbelly, where the high hopes of those dreaming to make a new life in Canada are met with prejudice and squalor.
While searching for answers, donning disguises, and sneaking around where no proper ladies would ever go, they pair with Jasper Forth, a police constable, and Ray DeLuca, a reporter in whom Jem takes a more than professional interest. Merinda could well be Toronto's premiere consulting detective, and Jem may just find a way to put her bachelor girlhood behind her forever--if they can stay alive long enough to do so.
