pickA 1934 inverted mystery. A strange little story but well written. Desperately unlikable characters, but I think that was a plus in this story. You really couldn‘t wait to see them ‘get what‘s coming to them‘! Edward is a particularly nasty piece of work and he is keeping a diary about how he is trying to murder his Aunt Mildred. It‘s quite hilarious! The unsuspecting twist at the end is well worth the read!
“It is not a pleasant prospect to be book-less....”

pickDelicious! This was originally published in 1934 but it still reads well today. Edward‘s diary is a treat. Over the course of the book, you learn that he and his aunt are both strong willed and determined to have their way. Silent adversaries if you will. This was a finely crafted, delectable mystery. Such a perfect ending! Will look for more of Hull‘s work.

pickMy thanks to #NetGalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review of #TheMurderofMyAunt
I found this book interesting, different from other mysteries I‘ve read, perhaps because it‘s British, perhaps because it was written years ago.
In some places it seemed to drag on but I just skimmed some sentences, wanting to move along to what was pertinent to the story.
The ending was unique - I‘m glad I kept reading, glad I read the book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickHa, that ending! I didn't really like any of the characters, but it's fun in the way where you want to see how they get their comeuppance.
The only point in this book I have agreed with so far! "It is not a pleasant prospect to be book-less".
Otherwise so far the narrator is being horrible about Wales and ghastly in general, but I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be.
