Welcome to Litsy!

Neighborhood tree contest entry.

With elements of Agatha Christie‘s And Then There Were None…a group of college friends get together over Christmas in an isolated manor. Cue a blizzard and a murderer on the loose.

This kept my interest and had enough suspects and red herrings to have me keep second guessing the final reveal. None of the characters were really likable, except maybe Charly, and there are some pretty gruesome scenes.

Last book of 2023! I enjoyed this trapped in a manor murder mystery. I thought the ending was a bit of a cop out but overall it was enjoyable

A group of people who one one by one were murdered, all these people had made mistakes in life.

This sounds pretty good!

This actually turned out to be a good book

Stayed up all night finishing this festive thriller.

I was getting major Lucy Foley vibes. A group of "friends" meet up 8 years after the disappearance of one of their club. A bloodbath ensues!

This was fab, and I needed to know how it unravelled. There was only one thing (that I can't discuss because Spoilers) that for me didn't hold up to scrutiny, but actually the whole plot was pretty batsh*t ?

Loved it.

This makes for a great holiday read when you‘re looking for a story set at Christmas with a murder mystery to solve. At university, a group of friends created the Masquerade Murder Society. Their final Christmas Masquerade took place 12 years ago when one member of their group disappeared. The Society comes together for another Christmas-themed party - the Twelve Days of Christmas.

This one is more festive than Holly House so far. They're even eating Quality Street while being interrogated 😄

This is my 2nd book of both #WinterGames and of the #20in4 #Readathon #CandyCaneCrushers. I finished it last night. I didn't like any of the characters, and while that might have been the point, it wasn't fun in the “Knives Out“ sort of way that I was hoping for. Also, I had difficulty keeping track of everyone and it probably would've been easier to do that had I read the book in print instead of audio.

The setting at this remote, snowbound Scottish estate is right out of Agatha Christie and the Golden Age country house murder mysteries. Cordani is great at setting the scene and using narrative description to build tension.

I‘m on a Christmas murder mystery binge right now and this one is definitely recommended! Full review at https://itsallaboutthebook.org

A group of friends from university days are invited to a Christmas Masquerade murder mystery break at a remote hunting lodge. At the last one, the 'victim' disappeared from a locked room & was never seen again. This time it is based around the song 'Twelve Days of Christmas', i.e. Lord Leapworth. As the game begins, past secrets are revealed & friendships are strained until on Christmas morning, Lady Partridge is found hanging from a pear tree.
