#WondrousWednesday @Eggs
This was one of my absolute favourite,edge of the seat adventure books when I was a kid.I could probably read it now and still love it!
From a children's book,definitely George Kirrin of The Famous Five,not perfect at all,straining against the constraints of girlhood,a clever rebellion against expected behaviours.
I read The Long Goodbye and would give it all the stars!!

Eggs Love Enid Blyton❣️ Thanks for playing 🥳 1w

Not to Be Taken | Anthony Berkeley
Pickpick

I'm not always a fan of Anthony Berkeley, but this one was fun -- it was explicitly written for the audience to figure out, and the British Library reissue includes Berkeley's reports on the results of the contest. I wouldn't have won either, there was definitely a clue I didn't fully appreciate.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Golden Age murder mystery. The characters are almost all over-the-top cariacatures, and as such, were hilarious. Gossip and judgment turns to murder and there‘s suspicion all around—and there‘s no shortage of witty dialogue and clever characterization along the way. This was my December #BookSpin (yes, another belated review!).

Penitence: A Novel | Kristin Koval

Reading this today. It‘s my Book of the Month pick for February. Yep I‘m late getting started 😩 but it‘s been busy this month for me, in my mind and just stuff going on to keep me from starting. This book is a crime/mystery/fiction novel by Kristin Koval. So far it‘s a great read. So I‘ve high hopes for this one. Happy Reading! #LitsyReads #BookoftheMonth #crimemystery #fiction #crime #Reads2025

As always a good read. I think I'm becoming a bit too well attuned though, guessed the murderer pretty early on.

“Mrs Napier walked slowly to the middle of the terrace, noted the oncoming car, looked round to make sure that she was fully observed, crossed her legs deliberately, and fell heavily on to the red gravel drive.”

Now that‘s a great opening sentence!! 😂
