The Wintringham Mystery | Anthony Berkeley

What a lovely package @Gissy !! I love everything! You always find such neat treasures. The candlesticks are so unique! I can‘t wait to see them alight with tapers. The bookmarks and page tabs are perfect! And the turron - yum, yum, yum!
Thank you for including each one of the kids - so cute and thoughtful! As you can see, Ted approves of his gift!
And I am so very excited for every one of the books, and they all have such pretty covers! 😍

mabell I‘ve never seen that cover of Legends and Lattes - very cool!
Also, your wrapping was lovely! The ornaments are already on the tree 😊 Thank you so much!

(Not pictured is the glass pumpkin - it didn‘t survive the trip, though you had packed it so well!) 11mo

Gissy I‘m so glad you liked everything🤗So bad that the candle didn‘t make it. I thought you could use the vase later. It was so pretty. I am looking forward to try those books. They sound interesting☺️You should see me, buying books for other persons and deciding which one I will buy for me... as a treat😂an excuse but I always include one book for me. That edition of Legends and Latte is from UK. I have both editions because they are pretty⬇️ 11mo

Gissy I didn‘t enjoy the first book as much as I wanted to but I have the second book already. It seems is better. I have the US edition but I think I will buy the UK edition just to have both copies as the first boo.k...remember I‘m a book collector no a book hoarder😜I hope that outfit size is the right one for Sophie but I left the ticket on so you could change it if it is too small. Glad that Ted liked his toy🐶🤎⬇️ 11mo

Gissy I bought a candlestick for me because I think it can be refilled with each season flowers.

Looking forward for your books reviews🤗 11mo

mabell @Gissy It is so fun buying books for others and “happening” to find some for ourselves too 😂 I didn‘t know you read Legends and Lattes! But I just saw you posted your review! Everyone seems to love it, so I thought it would be nice to try. I‘m sorry you didn‘t enjoy it that much! The outfit size will work just fine - she‘ll be moving on to that one next! ❤️ ⬇️ 11mo

mabell @Gissy That‘s a neat idea to update the candlestick with the season! It‘s so pretty, though, I‘ll be afraid to take out the flowers inside! I‘m so looking forward to my books too! Thank you so much for everything! ❤️😊 11mo

Gissy @mabell No, I didn‘t like the book as much as I wanted to but I read it for the same reason it was so hyped. But I‘m in love with that cover. I saw a couple of reviews about the sequel and it seems it is better. I will try it. I have it already. I like to try books even if the rating is not good because sometimes I‘m surprise that I like it but also happen for hyped book that I don‘t like. Try it, you never know. It has been well accepted in Litsy 11mo

mabell @Gissy I know what you mean about trying books regardless of the rating. You never know what you‘ll think about it yourself! My taste often differs from the mainstream; it tends to be that I don‘t enjoy books others seem to. Then also I read books where I think - why doesn‘t everyone love this?? 😄 I‘m looking forward to seeing what it‘s like! I didn‘t even know there was a sequel until a local bookstore posted about the author‘s event here. 11mo

Gissy @mabell An author‘s event? That‘s nice. I have attended some of that type of activity and sometimes what the author explains can help to understand better the book. Amazing! I hope you can go. But remember, you will be in a bookstore...risky....you can end the visit with more books in your hands😂 11mo

At an old estate being headed by a cranky rich woman, a woman goes missing from a closed room with 11 people in it. How? Cupboards, sofas, priest holes and ice houses all play a part. The amateur detective is a bankrupt, bon vivant who becomes involved because he has had to take a job at the estate as a footman. This is a pleasing tangle of theft and romance and stock manipulation. See if you can solve what Agatha Christie could not.

A serviceable Golden Age mystery. It rattled along nicely and I was entertained. A good library borrow.

BiblioLitten I enjoyed it too. 2y

I‘m willing the snow to melt while I enjoy this classic murder mystery. Yet another cozy Saturday with tea, and a blanket. Where art thou, Spring? 🌿❄️

#currentlyreading #covercrush #classics

merelybookish Oh goodness! I was feeling sorry about the sad state of spring here...but most of our snow is gone. Hope it all melts soon! 3y

BiblioLitten @merelybookish This happened last night after most of the snow had melted away. 😅 False spring it is! 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3y

merelybookish Yes. I know we aren't out of th woods yet either. Maybe by May? (It's my first Cdn winter in while. And it's been an adjustment.) 3y

A republished country house mystery from 1927, famous for having stumped Agatha Christie.

This Golden Age mystery was originally serialised in the papers; a mystery so baffling that even Agatha Christie couldn't solve it. Well, neither could I 😂 This was a jolly good lark—witty dialogue, hijinks, winter in a country house with a bunch of characters thrown together, an amateur sleuth, an intimidating lady of the house, séances gone wrong, hidden passageways, romance, & even shenanigans in the world of finance. Fluffy but satisfying.

batsy Read this for #cloakanddaggerchristmas for the Agatha Raisin prompt (mystery with an amateur sleuth), though it could just as well fulfill the Hercule Poirot prompt (Golden Age or a mystery set between 1920 & 1945) for anyone still looking for recommendations 🙂 3y

Cathythoughts Great review ❤️ sounds really good & I love the cover 3y
