Most Wonderful Crime of the Year | Ally Carter

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.26-30: well things have definitely escalated and now there‘s a chance that Maggie was wrong and they‘re all in danger. But I so wanted her to be right! She better stick close to Ethan because it seems he‘s the only one in the house who‘s thinking straight.

mcctrish So Ethan is an ex-high level bodyguard? Or some kind of operative ? And that‘s why he has no backstory and knows gunshots when he hears them and what kind of gun was shooting? I liked Maggie‘s game idea better 18h

BarkingMadRead Omg this is getting crazy. I really wanted it to be a scavenger hunt with Eleanor at the end of it! Now I‘m super concerned about some of these people! 18h

peanutnine I agree, I definitely wanted it to be a puzzle! No high stakes murder to outrun please 18h

vonnie862 Oh my goodness, I was not expecting that! I was hoping Eleanor was right...but hey, maybe she's still right... 18h

OriginalCyn620 I really thought it was a game that Eleanor set up. But things really took a turn in these chapters! I‘m trying really hard to stay on schedule and not read ahead, but it‘s a struggle! 17h

julieclair Okay, so I had a mountain of presents that had to be wrapped last night. And I was listening on audio. And I may or may not have accidentally forgotten to stop until I reached the end… 🫣 15h

julesG @julieclair That's how I managed to binge the book, too. 9h

julesG I really like that despite Ethan's super secret background and loads of experience, he doesn't treat Maggie like a raw egg. He lets her be in charge where possible. 9h

#5joysfridays it‘s been a week 🤣🤣 1. I found my favourite pretzel crackers at Costco again after a too long for me hiatus 2. We move our youngest home from Uni this weekend and I have rented a storage unit and gone through multiple bins here and resorted stuff and this pile is ready to load in the car to pack him up 3. I‘m loving the #littensloveromance read this month 4. My iced peppermint mocha cold brew is life 5. I baked 1/5 cookie recipes

Here‘s my review.

#hailthebail

julesG Well, it is more RomCom than mystery. I read it for #LittensLoveRomance and quite enjoyed it, but went in with that in mind. Hope you're next read is better. 1d

BarkingMadRead Awwwww I‘m sorry you didn‘t like it! I went in for the Christmas vibe so I really enjoyed it 20h

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.21-25: Maggie is on a mission and she doesn‘t care if she leaves anyone behind. Better she does it first than let them leave her. Which is why she can‘t trust Ethan right now and can‘t share what she thinks she knows. Is she right though? Is this a test set up by Eleanor? If so, there‘s no one who knows her more than Maggie. Maggie is set to win. But will she need help along the way?

mcctrish I‘m not sure I trust Ethan. The editor could have told Ethan the same message she told Maggie. He obviously had a few women disappointed that he was blowing off Christmas ( is that cuz he‘s flirty with everyone and they can‘t read the room or is he a serial dater?!) so he might have demanded/required the same forceful shove to get in the plane and figured out there was a game afoot and wants to be in team Maggie for nefarious reasons 2d

OriginalCyn620 I was wondering if Eleanor gathered everyone because she was setting up a game or contest. But I agree that Maggie shouldn‘t trust Ethan…at least not yet. 2d

BarkingMadRead Still not sure about Ethan, but if this is a test, Maggie is set to win for sure! 2d

LiseWorks For some reason, I think Ethan, even though he has a reputation when it comes to Maggie it's something else. I think Eleanor set them both up to be together 2d

StayCurious @LiseWorks agree. Eleanor is obviously lonely. Maybe she doesn‘t want Maggie to end up like her. 2d

Skygoddess1 I think this is Eleanor‘s way of plotting to bring Maggie and Ethan together. I also want to know why no one has thought to look for a hidden passageway? 2d

willaful I'm assuming Maggie's right but I sure wouldn't want to be in her shoes if she isn't. 2d

vonnie862 I agree with many of you. I feel that Eleanor set everything up. 2d

I was really interested in this #LittensLoveRomance pick, but I‘m trying really hard to cut down on book purchases and spending in general. Lo and behold I go to check it out (again) and it‘s only $2.99 on kindle AND I have some credits so it‘s only $0.74! I couldn‘t let the opportunity pass. Now let‘s see if I can read it in the next two weeks!

julesG It's a quick read!! Congratulations on the bargain. 2d

lil1inblue I can't get my hands on one of my holiday TBR reads, so I've considering replacing it with this. This seals the deal. Thanks for sharing the sale! 2d

Sace @lil1inblue you‘re welcome! 2d

Sace @julesG quick reads are the best! 2d

pick

Just wanted to catch up with #LittensLoveRomance but then got sucked in and read the whole story in one sitting.

Loved the banter. The mystery was well-crafted. Enough information to keep me turning the pages, but not too much so that I was bored by the foreshadowing. The snowed in manor would be a dream to visit, including the greenhouse.

Susanita I showed this to one of the librarians, and she put us both on the holds list immediately. 2d

julesG @Susanita it's really good 2d

Susanita I probably won‘t get it until March, but that‘s okay! 2d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.16-20: oh I feel so bad for both Maggie and Eleanor. I think they are kindred spirits. In a room full of idiots (at least mostly). And what‘s up with Ethan being so cagey about his past? Sign me up for that seminar! I need to know all of his secrets. Poor Maggie - it seems she was sorely used by her ex and her ex friend. Seems Colin‘s family lost money and he married her to get her book royalties. Seething on her behalf.

catiewithac One of the reasons I decided to read this book was the dedication. This is a feminist romance, make no mistake! 💪🏼 3d

BarkingMadRead I‘m intrigued about Ethan for sure and I really want to crush her ex and her ex friend! They totally used her and left her with nothing. Who does that?!? Ugh! 3d

See All 12 Comments

catiewithac @BarkingMadRead Yeah, the exes sound particularly evil and cunning. 3d

OriginalCyn620 Yes, can‘t wait to find out why Ethan is so secretive about his past. @catiewithac Love the dedication! 3d

mcctrish I intrigued with Ethan and a little put out by his possessiveness. Has Eleanor been kidnapped ? Hidden somewhere in the house with room for more? (edited) 3d

mcipher Oh the exes are the WORST! How horrible can people be to someone you‘re supposed to care about?!? 3d

mcipher Okay and having read ahead I‘ll tell you that Ethan‘s possessiveness make so much sense and is soooo cute later on @mcctrish 😉 3d

Skygoddess1 Maggie was definitely used by her ex husband and ex best friend, I want to hit and yell at both of them on her behalf. Ethan is definitely a mystery and I can‘t wait to see what we learn about him as the story unfolds 3d

julieclair I think Ethan is hiding his past because he grew up poor and feels embarrassed about it for some reason. And… I‘m wondering if Eleanor has hidden herself on purpose… creating her own mystery for her guests to solve. 3d

vonnie862 I'm mostly intrigued about what happened to Eleanor. 3d

vonnie862 @julieclair i was thinking that too 3d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.11-15 Okay, we‘re meeting everyone and we have to pay attention because there‘s a good bet one or more of these characters is guilty. And they‘re quite the bunch! So Eleanor has rounded them all up this holiday season - but for what? What is she playing at? I‘m so curious!

LiseWorks Somehow, this so reminds me of the game where you guess who killed the guy in the living room with the knife. Was it Mr Plum? 4d

StayCurious @LiseWorks yes Clue, exactly 4d

BarkingMadRead @LiseWorks 💯 what I was thinking, I‘m so suspicious of every single one of them…. Except Kitty, she seems too distracted 🤣 4d

StayCurious @BarkingMadRead that would be my kid, grabbing the sword lol 4d

LiseWorks @StayCurious OMG YES 4d

OriginalCyn620 Kitty definitely seems to have her hands full! I can‘t wait to find out more about everybody and the reason for Eleanor gathering everyone together. 4d

mcctrish Maybe Eleanor wants help to get rid of some relatives ? 4d

Susanita I showed this to one of the librarians, and she put both of us on the hold list. 😀 4d

vonnie862 @mcctrish 🤣 4d

vonnie862 Gosh, I really need to pay attention and start taking notes! 4d

julesG I binged the whole book yesterday 🙈🙈🙈. I only wanted to catch up and couldn't stop. 4d

mcctrish @julesG it‘s honestly torture to stop reading 3d

StayCurious @mcctrish @julesG you can read totally at your pace! Fast or slow whatever works for you! 3d

julieclair I loved Eleanor‘s comment about it being time to get started. Get started with what, exactly? This is definitely not going to be just a run-of-the-mill social cocktail hour! Can‘t wait to read on! 3d

#LittensLoveRomance Ch.6-10: I‘ve been rewatching Downton Abbey and so far I can‘t help but picture the incredible Maggie Smith as Eleanor Ashley. So what is this mysterious lady up to? And is her niece CeCe involved? Why did she bring fellow mystery writers to her for Christmas? So many questions but I‘m so invested already! I already care a great deal for Maggie - her anxious internal monologue is so relatable. And Ethan is funny so far.

BarkingMadRead Omg yesssss she would be perfect! I love Maggie‘s reaction to meeting her and Ethan taking care of her is so sweet. I can‘t wait to hear what Maggie really overheard in that hallway! 5d

OriginalCyn620 Maggie and Ethan are both funny…I can already see how they could complement each other! And yes, several questions are bouncing around my head. For the rest of the book I‘m gonna picture Maggie Smith as Eleanor! 😂 5d

mcctrish I am loving this book so much and picturing Eleanor as DMS is top tier ❤️❤️ 5d

vonnie862 @OriginalCyn620 me too! 5d

vonnie862 I too am curious why she invited the mystery authors. It's almost like Clue. 5d

Graciouswarriorprincess It does give me Clue vibes and love Maggie! Loving this book so far!! 5d

willaful @Graciouswarriorprincess @vonnie862 Let's hope Clue and not... Murder By Death! 😂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_by_Death 5d

catiewithac There better be a Christmas pudding!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 5d

julesG @willaful Murder by Death 🤣🤣 I need to find it and watch it again, it's been too long 5d

willaful @julesG If you can't find it elsewhere, it seems to be at the Internet Archive. 5d

julesG @willaful Thank you! 4d

Graciouswarriorprincess @willaful Yes! 🤣🤣😊 4d

julieclair Maggie Smith would be totally perfect as Eleanor! And Maggie and Ethan both make me smile. Loving this book so far! 4d

So glad @Graciouswarriorprincess posted about this on #bookstagram because I missed the tag for #littensloveromance with @StayCurious
I ripped right through the first 10 chapters. This will definitely be hard to put down each day!

Graciouswarriorprincess Hurray! I am feeling the same way about reading it! 5d
