This was a dark yet at times amusing crime thriller. Its book 3 in the series. I haven't read the others but I could follow along enough without. I will go back and check them out though. The plot is clever and twisty. There's lots going on around the main plot as well but it keeps the story interesting and allows depth to the characters. The ending was well done too and tied it off brilliantly. I have to say I loved Amanda the most. #Netgalley 4*

Tonight‘s #HyggeHour will be spent finishing the last third of Nancy Drew from last week for #NancyDrewBR & then with Encyclopedia Brown for #EBBR

I‘m settled in on the couch & my snack/dessert is a few leftover Reese‘s Halloween shapes & I‘m drinking cold apple cider. Mood is fine, a bit tired &never really excited for Monday but resigned to my fate. 😵‍💫😉😆

Finally remembered to post! My view (with drink on left) in our back “den“. We're in the process of reorganizing, so please excuse the mess. Notice the #bookdeathpile on the unfinished bookshelf? Hope to get it all beautiful someday.
Relaxing now and reading THE HOUSE OF SILK. What a luxury. Have a good night, Littens. ♥️🍁🧡

This really got too ingenious for its own good at times; it overstayed its welcome after about 60%. I can appreciate what Berkeley was doing with the structure of the mystery, expectations, etc, etc, but it got annoying.

Plus, y'know, Berkeley's misogyny isn't a super fun time.

This is starting to drive me batty. Roger Sheringham isn't a favourite detective of mine anyway, and watching him get everyone in trouble with fake alibis... argh!

Don‘t tell me! But I have no idea yet. Well maybe I do. I love it!

Interesting! Berkeley often liked playing around with the structure of crime stories, and in this one he shows us the murder being committed with names and all... and the introduction (by Martin Edwards) implies that the detective actually ends up being wrong. Very curious how this plays out.

(It is showing signs of Berkeley's issues about women, though.)
