panIt must be me. 😬🤷🏻♀️
This is very predictable. I was hoping it's just red herrings and the big twists were still coming, but nope.

Behind Her Eyes
pickJust like in Nosy Neighbours the cast of characters is made up of quirky people who like to stick their noses into other people's business. Fortunately, they've read their fair share of Miss Marple novels.
Cosy mystery

pickIt's the 1930s, Georgie has solved three murders that happened in the small village in the Cotswolds. Quite a lot of murders for this small village. When another member of the community dies a seemingly natural death, Georgie writes to a famous London detective for his help. But the detective sends his young rather handsome and very flirtatious associate instead.
A cosy mystery with a #romance subplot, or a romance with a mystery subplot. 😁

Chimney - locked room mystery
True crime podcaster Liza and her corporate financier wife Hanna want to spend Easter in a luxury hotel in the Scottish Highlands. Hanna planned it to rescue their marriage. It soon turns into a Murder Mystery Weekend with real victims.
Very Christie-esque, with chapter headings reminiscent of Cluedo.
panSix down on their luck mystery adjacent people are invited to the small village of Midwinter to compete in a fictional murder mystery game organised by the Midwinter Trust. Then two actual murders happen.
I read an excerpt late last year which made this sound like a locked room murder mystery homage to the Golden Age Mysteries where the reader is encouraged to guess the clues together with the amateur sleuths.

pickAn atmospheric, gothic historical mystery that was Rebecca-esque, and a poignant slow burn.
Usually I hate books that flick back and forth in time, but both threads were compelling, and the story had depth and intrigue.
With minor tweaks in the last quarter this could have been a 5 star read, but there were a couple of things that could have made the ending more impactful.
Still a very well executed novel and worth reading.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
