3 ⭐ And the story concludes. This is by far the weakest story of the trilogy, but it does wrap things up in a nice bow. The Murder Crew discover that Green was a twin, but the mystery of which twin really died, who is the bad guy and can we ever recover because the biggest question in the last murders of the series. Part of me wanted a Happily Ever After, or at least a funny end. But we got a Clue movie end. Meaning there were multiple ends,

LibrarianRyan and one could choose an end, or just accept that the final end was the real end. This was the worst book of the group and felt like more of an afterthought. They did not have Tim Curry to hold everything together and get us laughing. I am glad I read the series, but I am even more glad it is over. 5mo

The tagged is the final book in the Clue Mystery trilogy. This series is a low pick for me. I love the movie and I love the idea of bringing it to a new generation via these books, but I just didn‘t love them. Reading each one as it came out might have been a disservice as I hardly remembered anything that happened in the first two. I had to go back and read reviews with spoilers as I was confused in the beginning of this one.

I howled with laughter when I turned the page and saw the silent movie cards that read "that's how it could have happened." And "but how about this?" ?

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this trilogy. Idk if it fits in the "cozy" category but it's cozy for me.
