Description
“An ingenious marriage of comedy and crime.” (Olga Tokarczuk, Nobel laureate and author of Man Booker International Prize winner Flights)
A charming, witty, and deliciously spooky mystery, inspired by the work of Agatha Christie, following a bored socialite who becomes Cracow’s most cunning amateur sleuth.
Cracow, 1893. Zofia Turbotyńska—professor’s wife and socialite—is bored at home, with little to do but plan a charity auction sponsored by the wealthy residents of a local nursing home and the nuns who work there.
But when one of those residents is found dead, Zofia finds a calling: solving crimes. Ridiculed by the police, who have declared the deaths of natural cause, she starts her own murder investigation, unbeknownst to anyone but her loyal cook Franciszka and one reluctant nun. With her husband blissfully unaware of her secret, Zofia remakes herself into Cracow’s greatest—or at the very least, most surprising—amateur detective.
Full of period character and charm, Mrs. Mohr Goes Missing proves that everyone is capable of finding their passion in life, however unlikely it may seem.

The protagonist was kind of awful on purpose, a comically self-centered social climber, lacking in ant sort of genuine compassion. At times it was funny. I think the author may have been lampooning the bourgeoisie? But I'm not altogether certain. The secondary characters were funny, on purpose or not, too, like her sidekick nun who is repeatedly described by the protagonist as a pug in a wimple. Because she's got protuberant eyes. Ouch.
The story was slow, the writing a little bit florid. The setting was interesting, because I knew nothing about Poland during that time period.
The mystery, though, was honestly kind of forgettable. I can't see me returning to this series. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly engaging.
