The Christmas Jigsaw Murders: The new deliciously dark Christmas cracker from the bestselling author of Murder on the Christmas Express | 
pan3 ⭐Edie O‘Sullivan is a curmudgeon, who doesn‘t like the holidays, or people, or even her own family. She is a retired teacher in her 80s who spends her days doing jigsaw puzzles and creating crosswords for the London times. But someone is out to ruin her already dreary holidays. Evil shenanigans are afoot when Edie receives a package of puzzle pieces with a note to solve the mystery or else. She gets the neighbor, and her nephew involved,
so-soThis was the weakest book by Alexandra Benedict. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was very middling but it was an ok festive murder mystery
so-soThis... wasn't great. Probably wasn't even good if I'm being truthful.
I love how lively Benedict's narrative voice is, but this is the weakest of her 3x festive mysteries so far.
Am I going to keep reading them? Of course. They're frivolous (I.e. silly), festive fun.
Am I going to recommend you read them too?
Probably not.

Speaking of Christmas jigsaw murders, this isn't an Xmas one, but it's probably one of my favourite puzzle scenes I've ever created 💕
Is it just me or do not very many octogenarians use the phrases "go full Poirot" and "going full hedgerow"?
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ready for the festive season.
Unfortunately, as is customary for the festive season I have come down with a lurgy. My throat is killing me 😵😭

pickA fun, quirky and very different Christmas story featuring some zany characters. It‘s quite a clever little mystery with a few puzzles for the reader to solve, too. Lighthearted and humorous with dark overtones, it‘s well plotted and written in an easy and fast flowing style. An entertaining and brain teaser of a read, it had me gripped throughout and kept my attention until the end. #TBC on Facebook
