8 posts | 14 read | 34 to read
In a charming cozy mystery series debut, Leslie Nagels irrepressible small-town heroine finds that her fellow mystery book club members may be taking their Agatha Christie a bit too literallyand murder a bit too lightly. Charley Carpenter has poured heart and soul into her clothing store, Old Hat Vintage Fashions. Shell do anything to make it a successeven join the stuffy Agathas Book Club in order to cultivate customers among the wealthy elite of Oakwood, Ohio. Although mixing with the most influential women in town has its advantages, Charley finds the endless gossip a high price to pay. But after two women with close ties to the Agathas are brutally murdered, everyone falls under threatand suspicion. When key evidence indicates that both murders are the work of the same hand, Charley realizes that the killer has arranged each corpse in perfect imitation of crime scenes from the Clubs murder mystery reading list. She uses her membership in the Club to convince Detective Marcus Trenault to use her as an inside informant. Not that he could stop her anyway. Intelligent, fearless, and every bit as stubborn as Marc is, Charley soon learns the Agathas arent the only ones with secrets to protect. Passions explode as she and Marc must race against time to prevent another murder. And if Charleys not careful, she may find herself becoming the killers next plot twist.

I confess, I viciously mocked @kitty_reads when this title and its sequel (The Antique House Murders) appeared in the family Amazon account. Then I needed a B title for #LitsyAtoZ and this was already on my kindle. It was an amusing cozy, I very much enjoyed it, I will be reading the sequel. Shorty—please accept my apologies for mocking (apology only applies to this title)

The first line was a bit rocky, but once the story really took off I really enjoyed it. I would recommend it to cozy mystery book lovers.

Thanks to The publisher for providing me an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review! This was fun & is a promising start to a new mystery series. The premise is smart & our main character, Charley, is clever & capable. A tiny bit of language & some sexual content is here, & you will get spoilers for two of Agatha Christie‘s books, The ABC Murders and also And Then There Were None. I'm looking forward to more from Leslie Nagel!

MrBook Nice review! 8y

Far and away my favorite new series. It was a struggle to put the book down and almost sad for it to come to an end. Loved it!

I was excited to read this because I love cozy mysteries and the words "book club" in the title just drew me in. Books about people who read books are awesome.

The main character, Charley, was well written and interesting. She did not rush into danger but seemed to think things through before acting. Detective Marc was also good, although I felt his romance with Charley was a little forced at first.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley.

MrBook Adding! 😁👍🏻 8y
DebinHawaii I thought this one was fun too! 👍😀 8y

Light, fun cozy mystery series debut set around a mystery book club. Charley owns a vintage clothing store & belongs to the Agathas Book Club-named after Agatha Christe. When murders in her town are too close to the Agathas & their reading list, Charley works w/ local police & former crush Marc to solve the case. Likable characters & book-related, I liked this Net Galley ARC & look forward to the next book. W/ my bean, tomato & rice soup lunch📚🍴

LeahBergen Oh, that soup looks amazing! 8y
Mcoun I love cozy mysteries! This sounds like a good series. 8y
drokka It sounds a bit like the Readaholics series (might be called Book Club or something like that but all the titles start with 'The Readaholics...') by DiSilverio 8y

My TBR pile is getting out of control, between my physical books and the ones I have on my kindle. I told myself I would only read the books I own, no more buying any or trips to the library. So what did I do? I requested 3 new books from NetGalley. 😞 I have no self control 😔

rubyslippersreads I'm glad I'm not the only one. 😸😹🙀 8y
BarbaraJean Meeee toooo. I say the same thing to myself all the time- yet here I am, with three library books next to me, and many, many of my own books jealously staring at me from the shelves... 📚 8y
Candidceillie Do any of us have self control when it comes to netgalley?? 8y

Bookish_Predator I need to stop going on NetGalley! Each time I go on I see new cozy mysteries that I just have to have! I got A Killer Closet and The Book Club Murders too! Now have 57 books to read from NetGalley 😏 8y
