pickWent to Mohegan Sun for Easter. (Well not for Easter, but for a relaxing time away). Anyway, I listened to this lovely book in the hot tub and bath-tub :)
So well written! I really enjoyed it! I am surprised it was one I hadn't read before.
pickThemes: Mystery/Thriller, Good bookclub pick, Twisty plot
This was a book I wouldn‘t have picked up had it not been my bookclub‘s next read. I even told my husband a few pages into it, “this is just really weird” 😂. I did end up liking it though, I thought the characters were fully formed and felt ‘real‘ and Whittaker‘s writing flows really nicely. So many good quotes too! I can‘t wait for our next meeting to discuss this!
so-soBook 4 marks the end of the Edwardian Murder Mysteries. Lady Rose & her friend (her name escapes me at the moment) are funny & do get into some hilarious situations and as always Davina Porter is excellent. 3⭐️

pickThis book was so heartbreaking. So many times I just sat there with my mouth open wondering what the hell?! Wondering how can these people do the things they did. And the fact that they‘re out of jail now is disturbing. How can they be allowed out after all they did?! The murders and torture they did. I‘m still sitting here just shocked. This book will stick with me for a very long time.
pickNot one of Agatha Christie's best, but great fun nonetheless. It definitely showcases her sense of humour. It's pretty much a spoof spy thriller, with all the characters acting like they're something out of Wodehouse. For a while I was sure I had worked out the solution to the mystery, but of course I hadn't 😂
pickPreferring crime novels with some excitement and a reasonable amount of action, both of these attributes were missing from this novel. However it was a book I chose to read simply because it was historical fiction in the literal sense having been written 91 years ago.It could be classed as a cosy mystery but without the present day embience and warmth that you come to expect. While it was a good read I do like a more modern style of writing.
Fun spy romp through South Africa. Irritating commentary on women and domestic abuse by heroine though.
