Dead and Gondola: A Christie Bookshop Mystery | Ann Claire
8 posts | 7 read | 9 to read
In this series debut, a mysterious bookshop visitor dies under murderous circumstances, compelling the Christie sisters and their cat, Agatha, to call on all theyve learned about solving mysteries from their favorite novelist. A fair-play plot, vivid characters, fascinating facts about Dame Agatha, and an intelligent and appealing protagonist make this a winner.Publishers Weekly Ellie Christie is thrilled to begin a new chapter. Shes recently returned to her tiny Colorado hometown to run her familys historic bookshop with her elder sister, Meg, and their beloved cat, Agatha. Perched in a Swiss-style hamlet accessible by ski gondola and a twisty mountain road, the Book Chalet is a famed bibliophile destination known for its maze of shelves and relaxing reading lounge. At least, until trouble blows in with a wintry whiteout. A man is found dead on the gondola, and a rockslide throws the town into lockdownno one in, no one out. The victim was a mysterious stranger whod visited the bookshop. At the time, his only blunders had been disrupting a book club and leaving behind a first-edition Agatha Christie novel, written under a pseudonym. However, once revealed, the mans identity shocks the town. Motives and secrets swirl like the snow, but when the police narrow in on the sisters close friends, the Christies have to act. Although the only Agatha in their family tree is their cat, Ellie and Meg know a lot about mysteries and realize they must summon their inner Miss Marple to trek through a blizzard of clues before the killer turns the page to their final chapter.

I read this cozy mystery for cat book club, so of course it prominently features a cat: Agatha C Christie, official bookstore cat at the Book Chalet run by the Christie sisters, Ellie and Meg. While they are not related to the real Agatha Christie, they are avid mystery readers who can't help but search for clues when a stranger interrupts their book club seance only to turn up murdered. A book lover's book with lots of references to baked goods.

COZY MYSTERY - BOOKS ABOUT BOOKS

A bookstore, a town called Last Word, Agatha Christie, and of course a murder greet us in this enjoyable book with quirky, fun characters.

Set on top of a mountain with access only being by a gondola.

They even have a cat named Agatha.

It is set in a bookstore and it‘s all about books.

I was not so sure about this when I read the first chapter, but as I progressed in this book, I found I had to keep reading. A mystery bookshop amongst Colorado skiing, with a family named Christie (no relation that they know of) as the proprietors? Lots of Christie tidbits thrown in, which were fun to see. I guessed some parts of the mystery, but not all of it. I‘d definitely read the next in the series. Zeke agrees! #Zeke #CatsOfLitsy

Librarybelle @AmyG We don‘t have as much snow here as other parts of the state/country, but he relishes being an indoor cat. I think he would hate any amount of snow! 😂 10mo

If you struggle with winter blues, might I suggest this cozy mystery and a piping hot mug of cocoa? I guarantee you‘ll like cold temperatures and snow a little bit more by the final page . . . minus the murder of course!

Pretty cover, great premise, intriguing murder….but lacks follow through; this really could have done with a good editor. A lot of portions of the writing took me out of the story and it was much longer than it needed to be. That said, I will definitely check out the next in the series because I think the bones are good.
