Welcome to Litsy!

After the death of her grandmother, Cleo Fox is invited to live at the Mayfield, the luxury London hotel owned by her aunt and uncle. When a guest is murdered, Cleo dives into the investigation with the help of the hotel staff.

Such a delightful book. Cleo is very competent but not infallible and is more than willing to admit when she makes mistakes and accepts the consequences.

There were many aspects of this book i did not love- TBH Cleo and many of her decisions annoyed me. But i enjoyed it enough to give the second book a chance.

I‘m a big C.J. Archer fan and really got into this first book in this series. Definitely different from her other series but it has a great cast of characters.

My sister started reading this series and decided I had to read them, too, so she would have someone to talk to about them 😂 A soft pick for me, some things didn't quite hang together, but overall I liked Cleo and thought this was a decent start to a series - my sister already finished book 2, so apparently I'll be reading that one soon!!

I finished listening to this cozy mystery on my walk today. It had enough twists to keep me guessing about the culprit to the end. I liked Cleo Fox and the other characters so this is a series I'll be continuing. 1st book done for #AwesomeAugust @Andrew65

#bestof2021 swap - thank you so much @AbigailJaneBlog , I seriously ❤ everything. The books sound right up my street, the chocolate won't last long, candle smells divine & I need to look after my feet so the mask & socks will be really useful!

Cleo had her annoying moments, but mostly an enjoyable read and the mysteries were fun and engaging. I‘m hoping she‘ll soften as the books continue and be less likely to allow her imagination to cause her to leap to conclusions.

The tagged was a fun romp. This was an #audiolisten Enjoyed the narrator and the adventures of Miss Fox. She learned a hard but valuable lesson about jumping to conclusions. Real people paid dearly for her errors, but she felt remorseful and did her best to make amends. Looking forward to book 2 :-)

Seven Kinds of Hell had potential, but way too many coincidences. So-So.

By the Book ended up feeling dated and flat. Bailed.

#CurrentlyListening to this first in the #CleopatraFox #cozymystery series — it has been good until about 2/3 of the way in when one of my pet peeve tropes reared its ugly head: the protagonist jumps to conclusions based on very faulty assumptions. Sigh. Hope this recovers ASAP.

UPDATE: Reader, it did. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
