bailedI should‘ve known a 50% rating on here would mean this would be (best case scenario) a ‘soft pick‘. Maybe it would be if I could finish it, but after 100 pages in and still no murder, I lost interest 🙄🥱😴 Onto the next read 🚀

Aims42 @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣 My thoughts EXACTLY!! With cozy mysteries, I‘m not here for a ton of character building. Give me a few quirky characters, a murder (or two within the first half of the book) and some witty banter and I‘m set 👍 5mo

dabbe @Aims42 Yes! I especially love to read these around the holidays, preferably with the setting in England. Do you have any favorite cozy mysteries? 5mo
Aims42 @dabbe I don‘t know the exact definition of “cozy mysteries” but I‘m always looking for ones similar to The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. I‘d love to know any of your favorites too 5mo
dabbe @Aims42 Can you believe that one is STILL sitting on my shelf? 😱 To me, the quintessential cozy mystery series is the canon of Sherlock Holmes. I adore Agatha Christie as well and have just dabbled with a few Inspector Gamache stories as well as the Jane Austen mysteries. 🤩 5mo
Aims42 @dabbe Oooo I‘ve only read a few Agatha Christie‘s (Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express and I know there‘s one more but I can‘t remember lol), she‘s great too!! I haven‘t dived into her Miss Marple books but I enjoy Pierrot‘s sassiness lol 😆 5mo
dabbe @Aims42 Same here! I've not read a Marple book but love Hercule Poirot. I think AND THEN THERE WERE NONE is my favorite of hers; my freshmen loved it when I taught it back in the day! 🤩 5mo
Aims42 @dabbe It‘s such a good book, from beginning to end! My friend and I are finally getting another friend to read it for the first time. We‘ve asked her to keep us updated along the way lol 😆 It‘s one of those books I wish I could read for the first time again 5mo
dabbe @Aims42 It's probably one of the best page-turners I have ever read. And it would be awesome to read it again for the 1st time. Agree 💯. 5mo
Aims42 @dabbe And I agree with you on it being one of the best page-turners! Wish I would‘ve been able to read it as a freshmen instead of Beowulf 😆 (apologies if that‘s a favorite of yours to read and/or teach, I slogged my way through it lol) 5mo
dabbe @Aims42 It's not so bad if you have the right translation. The translation is everything! 🤩😂🤗 5mo
Aims42 @dabbe That makes sense 😆 5mo
