Moonflower Murders | Anthony Horowitz
Mehso-so

I enjoyed it and it was a fun distraction but ultimately I was disappointed, I'm afraid. I feel like I've had enough of British crime writers needing to make their twist, their big secret, some kind of sex/kink thing. The Atticus Pünd novel was fun but the ending fell flat for me. I can understand why others loved it, though. ⭐⭐⭐

This was a hilarious good time — sharply funny, keenly insightful, tricky and twisty just a leetle bit deceptive. The characters were cleanly drawn, with a variety of personalities that all had hidden depths, and our narrator was self-deprecating and clever — but not TOO clever. I was caught up almost immediately and can honestly say I didn‘t see that last twist coming. Recommend for an excellent mystery and a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Anyone doing the Jimmy Fallon book club? There are 16 books (could not fit them all in my screen shot) that they are going to whittle to 8, then 2. The winner will be Fallon's official book club read this spring. If you have already read any of these, voting is open!

#hailthebail has been very freeing this month - allowed me to read more than I bailed on and now I'm reading books I really enjoy!
This is where I am in #BookSpinBingo - not sure what else I'll finish this month with work and the holiday coming up - the current reads may end up on my April list 🙂

Make a great day everyone 🐣

34/150 As fun as the first book was, I actually like this one even better. Some people might be annoyed by the author breaking the fourth wall to talk to directly to the reader, but I enjoy those moments, it adds a quirky charm to solving the murder mystery. I'm not sure how many books can be written with this MC, but I hope we get another one at least.
4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

rubyslippersreads I thought the second one was much better. And there is a third one coming; I put it on hold at the library. 5d

In the second book to the series Stevie is still trying to solve the 1930s kidnapping/murders at Ellingham Academy. Her friends are more involved this time (Janelle, Nate and Vi, and Larry - the security officer) - David (her complicated in a teenage way maybe boyfriend) has gone off the rails, but has a plan? ⬇️

bthegood Another student is found dead (present day) - by the end the kidnapping and one murder solved from the 1930s, but cliffhanger for everything else (and more deaths). Another solid read, good writing, story past and present is engaging. Will continue reading to see how it all ends.
#SeriesLove 2/5
#MarvellousMarch 2/2 (new goals are to just keep reading)
Make a great day everyone 🙂

This book is rather confusing. The narration is messy, it is manipulative, it makes you swallow down a story that the narrator wants to say. But I guess that's the thing about unreliable narrators. Inspired by classical plays and Christie's unreliable narrators. It's an okayish thriller. But honestly it doesn't remain one at the end.
