Murder Most Actual | Alexis Hall
post image
Pickpick

#ChrismasCrimeChallenge @RaeLovesToRead @Ruthiella

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.

RaeLovesToRead This looks cute! 12h
julesG @RaeLovesToRead It's cozy, it blends the homage to Christie (weird characters with secret connections to each other) with modern true crime podcasting and marital problems of a same sex interracial couple. It was a good read. Different from what Alexis Hall usually writes. 12h
RaeLovesToRead Is it only available on Kobo though? 12h

julesG @RaeLovesToRead Unfortunately yes. It was less than €10 in audio and the ebook would have been less than €7 10h
Ruthiella This challenge is clearly right up your street! You are acing it! 🎄🔪💀🎅🏻 7h
julesG @Ruthiella Thank you! It's an 'excuse' to ignore #MountTBR and #MountARC 6h
RaeLovesToRead Sadly I have no Kobo :( 5h
julesG @RaeLovesToRead Neither do I. Hence I got the audiobook and then downloaded the app to listen to it. The ebook would have worked on the app as well, but I don't like reading books on my phone. 2h
RaeLovesToRead Ah, I thought I'd need a Kobo device for the audiobook! 2h
julesG @RaeLovesToRead nope, just the app. 2h
RaeLovesToRead Me looking for excuses to buy more devices 😏 1h
RaeLovesToRead *buys 3 more ereaders* it's for the CHANNEL. It's JOURNALISM! 1h

Haven't shared my #weekendreads in a while.

Cinder House (ARC) - novella, retelling of Cinderella, but only loosely connected to the fairytale, includes queer lovestory and some spice 🌶️🌶️

City of Stairs (🎧) - it's been on #MountTBR for ages

Ladies in Hating (ARC) - two Gothic novellists w/ a past, w/ current beef, but also w/ chemistry, sapphic 🌶️🌶️🌶️

@rachelsbrittain

rachelsbrittain I adored Cinder House! Looks like a great lineup. 2mo
Bookworm54 I loved City of Stairs! Great series 2mo

#Read100

My first finished book of September, I finished this one for #FictionalTraveler #September #EnglishSpeaking & September #Roll100 #77 #AnyBOTM Overall, I enjoyed this one, although it drug in parts. The unique premise of an unmarried British woman who comes home after her friend‘s hen party to find she‘s married & her attic keeps “replacing” husbands with no end in site. Lauren made some choices I judged & thought over-the-top but ⬇️

DebinHawaii … then again, I don‘t have a husband-making attic so what do I know!🤷🏻‍♀️ Probably a 3.5 for me but it was fun & it is a debut so got me closer to finishing my #BOTM challenge. (edited) 2mo
julesG Your review is great. I'll bump the book up #MountTBR 2mo

By mistake I bought a copy of Wonderland by JenniferHillier (paperback) in French 🤦🏽‍♀️It is a secondhand book but in good condition. I don‘t know if maybe you are interested to have it. Let me know, I just wanted to ask you first before I unhaul it🤗
