If you are a fan of Only Murders in the Building then this is a book you are going to want to devour. With some similar actions of the show one can visualize the whole story in your minds eye. The twist and turns the author puts in makes it captivating and hard to put down. This would be an amazing start to a new series.

Only Murders In the Building meets Hitchcock's Rear Window. I loved this. A cracking cast of characters, a community you can relate to, and an intriguing murder mystery to boot!

I enjoyed Audrey’s character arc. I enjoyed getting to know Lewis as well, but was suspicious of him the whole book. The square sounds like the perfect place to live, where do we sign up? A light mystery with interesting characters and neighbors. I never guessed the twists!

I quite enjoyed this cozy mystery. I think this was a great debut and I hope that the author writes some more novels.

I think the only thing that didn't put this at a 5 ⭐ for me was the pacing and it felt a little confusing at times. However, I think if this is the author's first book, the subsequent book(s) can and will be just as good, if not better.

I did enjoy the narration of this book and would have given another star if the pacing had been a little quicker, but I also like a little faster pacing in my books, so don't let that deter you from trying this cute, witty, and engaging cozy mystery.

Absolutely loved this read!
The characters are perfect!
I can never say no to a good apartment mystery.
I love it when people are thrown together for the sake of the mystery.
So cozy without being cheesy and so mysterious without being graphic.
If you need a feel good murder mystery, put this on your list!
Will totally be looking for more from this author!
Thank you netgalley for the arc!

I enjoyed this so much! Fab bunch of characters, 3 murders, and a dog named Muffin in a great novel which will have you wondering who dunnit until the last page. I got a copy of the audiobook from netgalley and the publisher, and I laughed, I teared up, I gasped, and I felt like I was part of Only Murders in the Building, London edition. Amazing! The narrator did a great job bringing the characters into life too!

Really enjoyed following Audrey and Lewis on their journey to find who murdered their neighbor! This is a great book for cozy mystery readers and the Only Murders in the Building show! My only complaint is that it felt a little too long, and it was sometimes hard to keep track of who is who. I listened to the audiobook, and the narrator did a fantastic job! Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for the ARC!

10 Marchfield Square is a thoroughly enjoyable read—charming, gently humorous, and quietly compelling. The atmosphere is richly comforting, evoking the best traditions of the cozy mystery genre without feeling derivative. The characters are delightfully eccentric yet entirely believable, their quirks adding color rather than caricature. While the mystery itself is relatively straightforward, the storytelling is deft and engaging, making it a genuinely satisfying experience. A perfect choice for readers seeking a well-crafted escape with heart and intelligence.

I enjoyed 10 Marchfield Square overall. It's an entertaining whodunit with a compelling mystery at its core. The setting and characters pulled me in, and I appreciated the classic murder mystery vibe. While I didn’t love every aspect, especially the pacing, which felt a bit too slow in parts, the story still held my interest. I’d definitely consider reading a second book if one is published. There's potential here, and I'm curious to see where the author goes next!

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the chance to listen to this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

The tenants of 10 Marchfield Square finds themselves with a dead body on their hands. The square's owner, Celeste, tasks Audrey (a cleaner by trade) and Lewis (a former best selling writer now in recruitment) to get conduct their own investigation because she doesn't trust the police. Audrey and Lewis make an enjoyably awkward pair who aren't sure about the other but eventually find their own shorthand and ways of sussing out and following up on clues. Their personal differences and idiosyncrasies made them excellent foils for one another and watching them become partners in crime solving and friends was charming. The other residents of the square all play their parts nicely and I loved learning about them and how they all fit into the mystery.

The narration was well done and enhanced my enjoyment of the story. I was also a fan of the pacing and the way clues and relevant information was doled out; it kept me guessing till the end.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to listen to this audiobook.

Started off making me think of The Bedroom Window.... Great little whodunit. Loved the characters.... loved the dialog. GREAT END!


The Paris Apartment meets Only Murders in the Building in this debut murder mystery with an intriguing cast of characters inhabiting a quirky block of flats in modern-day London.

When a minor criminal is murdered in the smallest residential square in London, elderly heiress and landlady Celeste van Duren recruits two of her tenants to investigate. Her cleaner, Audrey, knows everyone and is liked by all, while failed writer Lewis is known by no one. He hates his job, hates his life, and he’s not that fond of Audrey either—but Celeste is persuasive.
As they hunt for clues in and around the Square, they discover everyone has something to hide, including their fellow residents. Audrey and Lewis must find a way to work together if they’re to find the killer in their midst. Assuming of course, there’s just the one . . .

Cozy crime enthusiasts will not be able to get enough of Marchfield Square and its resident

'10 Marchfield Square' is a murder mystery with the investigation being conducted by two unlucky individuals.

The story has indeed 'Only Murders in the Building' vibes, from the setting to the quirky residents and the twists and turns of the mystery. The ending was also highly unexpected, and that final twist was so unexpected!

In addition, the two main leads were interesting and had smooth chemistry as 'detectives'. Fortunately, there were only some hints of romance, and the story only concentrated on solving the mystery.

Finally, the audiobook was nicely produced and the narrator did a great job with her performance and I enjoyed how she had a matter-of-fact voice when she was narrating but gave many accents and variations when voicing the characters.

One of the biggest joys of Celeste, the rich neighbourhood busybody (and landlady of Marchfield Square) is to quietly spy on her neighbours and tenants with binoculars as she is looking out her window every day, chronicling the comings and goings of the residents. One day murder creeps through the cracks of the building and Celeste is ready to task the ‘cleaner’ and the ‘writer’ in the building to do sleuthing for her to both satisfy her curiosity and solve the murder of one of her tenants.

The way this book was a delightful read! Absolutely adored all the characters that were included in this cozy murder mystery. There are a little million small characters, and seemingly no one has a motive, but turns out there are more going on in the neighbourhood, than what you expect at first.

Audrey and Lewis’ chemistry in conversations are enchanting, as opposites are interacting, although I sometimes felt the happenings were drowned out by conversation and at times I had a hard time keeping up with who is who and did what. I didn’t mind it as much as audiobook, since Nneka Okoye narrates it wonderfully, bringing the book to life vividly.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape media for allowing me to listen to this audiobook for free ✨

ARC provided by NetGalley and Dreamscape Media in exchange for my honest review.

I saw this book in waterstones and was immediately intrigued by it (the one of the girl holding the binoculars) so I was happy to see it available on netgalley as an audiobook.

I really enjoy whodunnits every now and then (pretty often but not too often) and this was such a fun one. The stakes weren’t too high but high enough with 3 dead bodies and a tightknit community of residents of a apartment building, suddenly all suspects of murders 1 and 2. Audrey and Lewis, two of the residents, are tasked by their landlady Celeste to figure out the murders as she doesn’t want her building tainted by scandal and murder.

The one negative is that in their text exchanges, apparently Lewis still has Audrey saved as the building cleaner in his contacts which might be fine when they didn’t work together but became so dumb and misogynistic when they did start their investigations.

10 Marchfield Square has the vibe of a cozy small town British whodunit- reminiscent of the Carlene O'Connor series- but with a big city, modern feel to it. Very much like "Only Murders in the Building"!!

Everyone feels safe at 10 Marchfield Square, as an eclectic landlady has done her best to bring together a solid group of tenants from different walks of life. Little do they know that she has accidentally let an apartment to a small-time criminal.

When the police aren't interested in getting to the bottom of the murder, tenants Audrey and Lewis are hired by the landlady to solve the murder. Both Audrey and Lewis are "stuck" in their lives, and against all odds this mystery proves to be the impetus needed to get them "unstuck."

The main characters are likable and fun. It was easy to root almost everyone you came across.

I kept thinking that I knew who the murderer while I was listening...but I was wrong every time! Nicola Whyte did a great job of tricking me...which I appreciated!

I am absolutely looking forward to Nicola Whyte's next book. I thank NetGalley and Union Square & Co. for an early copy of this novel!

Oh that was so much fun, though I wish we got to see Muffin in a forever home by the end of the book. (Does that count as a spoiler? Sorry. I name my own dogs after food, too.) I would love to live in this place, even with the murders.

The story revolves around the inhabitants of 10 Marchfield Square where a murder has taken place under mysterious circumstances. That the person murdered isn’t really one to cry over isn’t the issue, but the fact that someone has ruined the sanctity of their home has the owner wanting answers. It doesn’t help when things take a turn for the worse and soon one body becomes more. What happens next is the owner, Celeste, banding together a house cleaner and a crime novelist, both residents of the square, in an attempt to find answers.

It’s a fun read with a decent pace. The characters were quirky and interesting, some more than others. The police always tending to be a little slow/terrible at their jobs in these kind of books is a bit expected but not always necessary. The plot twists enough to keep you guessing but also shaking your head at how some glaringly obvious signs are missed. The ending was a little disappointing as it felt a little convoluted for no reason, and to me, solely to provide some characters with relevant roles in the book.

What started out as it looking to be a Miss Marple-esque mystery did indeed turn into something resembling Only Murders in the Building so that was quite pleasant. 10 Marchfield Square was a fun book to read despite some of the above reservations. It helped scratch that locked-room mystery itch I’d been craving for a while, and while not exactly a suspense, it did keep me engaged till the end. Definitely recommended and I look forward to any more books in this series.

I totally loved this mystery and the community the author created at 10 Marchfield Square! I binge-listened to this audiobook in a single day, unable to stop listening because it was so compelling. The characters were many (sometimes hard to remember them all) and interesting, and I liked all the red herrings tossed in. The MCs, Audrey and Lewis, made an awkward pairing, but I loved the character of Celeste most of all.

Regarding the narration, I thought it was pretty good, with the exception of the parts where Lewis was reading bits of his fictional writing. The narrator used the same voice as for the rest of the text, so I got thrown off multiple times wondering if I'd accidentally skipped ahead to a different scene. Otherwise, it was an excellent listen!
