A Case of Mice and Murder

A Case of Mice and Murder

Sally Smith

23rd August 2025

It’s 1910 and the Temple, where barristers and judges, and apparently mice, hang out and have adventures. And now we get to visit and watch a barrister try to solve a mystery about a mouse, as well as a murder.

I found it slow to get into. The writing style feels like it’s trying a bit to emulate the style of the time, and the main character took a little while to warm to and to get into his ways of thinking.

But I’m glad I persevered, as I came to feel quite warmly about him, his little world, and his ways of thinking. I enjoyed learning about the Temple, the history, and the various characters who populate this story.

I enjoyed this visit, and have added the sequels to my wish list.
