Cyanide with Christie
Cyanide with Christie | Katherine Bolger Hyde
4 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
A game of charades ends in coldblooded murder in this entertaining cozy mystery, third in the Crime with the Classics series. Having finished transforming Windy Corner, the grand Victorian mansion she inherited from her great aunt, into a writers’ retreat, widowed literature professor Emily Cavanaugh is ready to receive her first set of guests. But her careful planning is thrown into disarray by the unexpected arrival of outrageous true-crime writer, Cruella Crime, whose unpardonably rude behaviour is causing great offence. As a ferocious ice storm rages outside, the guests entertain one another with a game of charades. But their revelries are brought to a sudden halt by the discovery of a body in one of the guest bedrooms. When it transpires the victim was poisoned, Emily decides to take a leaf out of the book of her favourite detective writer, Agatha Christie, and investigate. But as she pursues her enquiries, it becomes chillingly clear that she herself may have been the intended victim...

Agatha Christie has so many books with similar tropes as the tagged book.Initially the difference in format from her previous 2 books in the series bothered me.I loved their layout,with quotes from authors headlining each chapter. Eventually I realized that this book was meant to mirror her mysteries.5 writers attended areader‘s retreat; they got iced in & could not leave.A Christie like murder occurred.Many layers & plot twists kept me engaged.

janeycanuck Sounds like a fun series! 2y

It‘s page 118 and finally a reference to Christie. The book itself does mirror a Christie mystery because a group of people are snowed in together & a murder happens.

Did a library run today and picked up this 3rd book in this #crimewiththeclassics series. Reading some, eating tiramisu, while listening to the CNN‘s live reporting from Ukraine. Lots of discussions of Ukraine at the HS among students today.

Christine I bet re: student discussions (and 😋, tiramisu!). 2y

I really enjoyed this three-book (so far) series. I hope there are more to come. This last one really did draw heavily from the standard Christie plot devices, and seemed to breathe new life into some of them with the modern setting. Solid plotting, great character development.
