Question 4 of 4

rubyslippersreads, TheBookHippie, JacqMac, cobwebmoth, Crewgurl, CoffeeNBooks, EadieB

EadieB I guess the writers wanted a happy ending! 5y

TheBookHippie It makes total sense as to how the story went ..seriously though a much needed fun ride for my brain. Can you imagine sitting around oooo let‘s do that to the story and at this rate we all can write a book together! 5y

cobwebmoth By the end I don't think a lot would have been accomplished by charges being brought against anyone. 5y

Crewgurl Well one of the masterminds was dead, another turned government witness and the rest were nuns and Davy. I guess not much left to arrest...no one wants a bad press story about arresting nuns. 5y

JacqMac Typical Catholic Church getting away with murder. đź‚Though really, there wasn‘t anyone to arrest in the end. 5y

EadieB Not really! My main suspect was Sister Mercy Superior. 5y

TheBookHippie Nope! đź¤Łđź¤·đźŹ˝â€Ťâ™€ď¸Źđź¤Ş 5y

cobwebmoth I didn't get good feelings about Father Rynne, but I didn't think he would turn out to be that bad! 5y

See All 7 Comments

CoffeeNBooks I didn't suspect them at all- I thought it was Sister Mercy Superior the entire time. 5y

Crewgurl Nope. Came completely out of left field. Never really got a good explanation on the back story either. 5y

JacqMac I didn‘t suspect them either. Though when I was first reading about the â€śbigâ€ť woman, I thought it might be a man. I think I even said that in one of our first discussions. 5y

rubyslippersreads Weren‘t there several â€śbig womenâ€ť in this story? Didn‘t Alice remember her mother calling her that? I didn‘t suspect either of the Jesuits, but like @JacqMac I thought at least one â€śbig woman â€ś might be a man. 5y

EadieB I thought she was trying to stop Sebastian from arresting her and Davy. 5y

TheBookHippie To protect herself. 5y

cobwebmoth I think she just reacted in the heat of the moment. 5y

Crewgurl I really have no idea. Desperation? Looking for a punching bag because of frustration? Secret life as a fight club leader? Anything is possible. 5y

JacqMac @Crewgurl đź‚ I really have no idea. 5y

so-so

This was interesting. It was an interesting story and an interesting way to write a story. But with each author writing a different chapter, the writing did feel a bit disjointed. There were also a lot of characters, which made it a little hard to follow sometimes. But it was a mystery and it did have some good surprises.

@Andrew65

Andrew65 I totally agree, Lost it‘s flow and consistency. Not finished yet by strongly likely to be soso. Started well (Maeve Binchy?) but didn‘t maintain this. 5y

rubyslippersreads @Andrew65 From the afterword, it sounded as though the project rested on Maeve Binchy being involved, since apparently she was the biggest name involved. I wish she‘d written the whole book. đź„ 5y

Andrew65 @rubyslippersreads Me too! 5y

JacqMac @rubyslippersreads @Andrew65 I agree. I‘m sure they had a fun time writing it. But it didn‘t really work. 5y

This was an interesting murder mystery, but not my favorite. There were several characters, and it got a bit confusing at times, but overall it was pretty good. The ending was definitely unexpected. #MaeveBinchyBuddyRead @Andrew65

TheBookHippie Right đź¤Łđź±đź¤·đźŹ˝â€Ťâ™€ď¸Źđź‚đź¤Ş 5y

JacqMac I can‘t figure that one out. And why is the M there? It doesn‘t really fit with the other murders. 5y

CoffeeNBooks @EadieB I agree. I think it hurt her feelings that Ned moved on so quickly. 5y

JacqMac @EadieB I agree, too. I think she still has feelings for Ned. But she is the one who left. (edited) 5y

EadieB He's the art dealer so I presume that whoever stole the Caravaggio contacted him in order to sell it. 5y

EadieB I don't know what to think about Meadowfield's murder and I have no idea who the big lady is. 5y

Andrew65 The jury is most definitely out on these. 5y

CoffeeNBooks I think it's Sister Mercy Superior. She's described as being "...a bulky woman, standing well over six feet tall, with powerful hands..." So, she's tall like the woman on the hotel camera, and sounds like she could have the ability to break Meadowfield's neck. 5y

Andrew65 @CoffeeNBooks That‘s an interesting theory. 5y

These are the discussion points for the #MaeveBinchyBuddyRead of #SisterCaravaggio which starts today.

This one should be quite interesting and different - a Murder Mystery written by a few different authors.

This book is available on KindleUnlimited.

Having given it a bit of thought, and considering your comments, these are the next books we‘ll read for the #MaeveBinchyBuddyRead

January : Sister Caravaggio (available on Kindle Unlimited)
February : A Few of the Girls
March : Chestnut Street
April : Maeve‘s Times

At the same time we will choose a new author to target. Do feel free to post below with suggestions in a similar style to Maeve.

Each Read will start on the 19th of each month.

Andrew65 One suggestion Cathy Kelly, books set in Ireland. https://www.fantasticfiction.com/k/cathy-kelly/ One example :

Past Secrets

Andrew65 Another suggestion Rosamunde Pilcher. Not Irish but possibly similarity style. https://www.fantasticfiction.com/p/rosamunde-pilcher/ One if her most famous books is

The Shell Seekers

(edited) 5y

Andrew65 Marcia Willett, An English author with sone at least set in Devon / Cornwall. https://www.fantasticfiction.com/p/rosamunde-pilcher/ One example

Starting Over

EadieB @Andrew65 I like the idea of Rosamunde Pilcher. I also own 8 of her books. 5y

ljuliel I really like Pilcher myself. Her stories remind me a lot of Maeveâ€s. I looked up other authors like Maeve and found this list. https://www.booklistreader.com/2013/02/25/backlist/maeve-binchy-read-alikes/ 5y

ljuliel I‘m going to try one from the ones you all mention also. Marcia Willett has a fairly big selection too. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB @ljuliel I‘ve read and enjoyed a couple from both Marcia Willett and Rosamunde Pilcher. 5y

Andrew65 @ljuliel A good list. I possibly need to get back to Kristin Hannah, only read The Great Alone in the Buddy Read you led @EadieB (edited) 5y

JacqMac I find Marian Keys is very Maeve like, too. I‘m good with whatever you decide. I haven‘t read Pilcher or Willett before, but I love finding new to me authors. 5y

Andrew65 @JacqMac Good call! I like her books. (edited) 5y

Question for those of us doing the #MaeveBinchyBuddyRead.

Three options moving forward :

1. As finished all her novels decide on a new author for us to read monthly in her style.

2. Read in January the tagged novel she wrote with six others. Murder mystery where think all wrote chapters but not saying who wrote what chapter. In U.K. can get it free on Kindle Unlimited.

3. Read some of her short story books.

EadieB @Andrew65 I have a copy of Sister Caravaggio and some of her short stories. Wouldn‘t mind reading them but can read them on my own. I‘m willing to do whatever the majority of participants wants to do. Starting another author is a good option too. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB One Option would be all of the above! đź‚ I‘ve got a copy through Kindle Unlimited. (edited) 5y

EadieB @Andrew65 We can see what others want to do and then decide. 5y

Andrew65 @TheBookHippie Is it on Kindle Unlimited in the US. For the longer term I‘m starting to research a few authors that may be similar in Style. Totally agree, her books lift me up. Hope you are feeling better. đźĄ° 5y

ljuliel I just picked up A Few of the Girls and one called Chestnut Street from the library this morning. I also have the one pictured above. I have Maeve‘s Times on audio. If you guys want to continue with Maeve it‘s fine by me. If you have another author on tap coming up , can you give me a bit of a heads up, as I‘m trying to get my books at the library now and will have to hunt them up ahead of time. Thanks. Anything you choose is ok. 5y

Andrew65 @ljuliel Sounds like you are more than ready to go with this one and the short story books you mention. We can possibly read these whilst we research a new author. 5y

ljuliel Sounds Okey Dokey, Smokey. đź‘ŤđźŹĽ 5y

Andrew65 @cobwebmoth Thanks đźŠ 5y

JacqMac I‘m fine with any of the above. My only goal is to keep up this time. Lol 5y

Andrew65 @JacqMac đź‚ Thanks đźŠ 5y

CoffeeNBooks I'm fine with whatever everyone else wants to do. 5y

CarolynM I've only dropped in for the odd book here and there, and that's probably what I will do in future, so I don't feel entitled to an opinion. I'll be interested to see what you choose. 5y

Tove_Reads New author! 5y

Crewgurl I‘ve also been in and out, so I‘m up for anything! New author sounds fun though. 5y
