Unique premise - gentleman to footman to house guest to detective. I enjoyed the lighthearted banter, but for some reason this book just didn‘t fully click with me. Still recommended. 😊

Thank you for giving it to me @Gissy !

Thank you so much @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego for this awesome #LCS #LittleChristmasSwap package! I'm excited for this classic locked room mystery (don't you just love the Classic British Crime series covers 😍), and some great candy choices! We all know Reese's shapes are the best Reese's, right? 😉

Thanks for organizing @bookish_wookish 🎉

A fairly standard police procedural but set in 2051: near future yet not disappearing into dystopia. Very readable, the near future element entirely realistic and scary, the “figuring out the crime/scare vibes” just what I wanted.

A prequel to the Agatha Raisin series (#SeriesLove2024) that is set as Agatha begins her PR business. It was okay and like many novella struggled to truly tell the story. Not at all necessary to reading the rest of the series.

TheSpineView Well done! 3mo
Andrew65 Read the whole series but not read this short story. 3mo
Mollyanna @TheSpineView Thanks 😊 3mo
Mollyanna @Andrew65 I wouldn‘t bother reading the short stories, it didn‘t really add anything. I‘m glad it was short. Good to see you back on Litsy 😊 3mo
Andrew65 @Mollyanna Thanks 😍, trying to get some normality and order back. I often feel this way about short stories - just not enough depth to them, and not usually a fan. 3mo

The Clutter Corpse | Simon Brett
post image

A professional declutterer is used to dealing with unpleasant surprises... but a dead body is new. Interesting premise and backstory, but the prose is often sloppy and the solution of the mystery isn't very satisfying. It almost feels like Brett would rather have been writing a sad, misogynistic novel.

Texreader Sounds like a bummer of a read? You‘ve been doing great with AtoZ!! Any bingos yet with it? 4mo
TheSpineView Awesome! 4mo
willaful @Texreader Astonishingly enough, no! But filling bingo cards without ever getting a bingo is my superpower. 😂 4mo

I‘m in New Jersey to house sit for the next two weeks. 1. Audiobook to keep me company on the road.
2. We‘ll be going out for pizza for dinner.
3. Yesterday I went for a nature walk at a local park.
4. I reorganized my bookshelves, donated several books, and brought with me enough reading material for two months.
5. I had a good weekend at the ballpark for my last games of the season.

A perfect ending but a very strange, creepy book and I‘m not sure what genre you would really put this in. Podcaster and urban explorer, Lisa Lee, disappears about the same time a very valuable casket appears for auction. It was last seen on her video exploration. Podcasters Sophie and Fin try to find Lisa.
