Favourite was definitely the tagged book, one of my favourite authors‘ best series!

It‘s a poke + crime fiction night. This historical mystery from KJ Charles somehow gives off the same vibes as Maureen Johnson‘s Truly Devious books, but for an adult audience and with a somewhat more recent cold case in which the friend group has a personal stake. I‘m eager to read on.

1890 Bath, England is the setting for a story that loosely encapsulates the upper class sentiments of the era.Fancying a cosy mystery is the reason I chose this book. At the start I was pleased with my choice, It had a relaxing, interesting storyline with lots of amusing occurrences and even a little romance on offer. Unfortunately once the detective work begins the story slows, becomes somewhat dreary, elongated and uninspiring.

The newspapers called us the Seven Wonders. We were a group of friends, that‘s all, and then Toby died. Was killed. Murdered.
1905. A decade after the grisly murder of Oxford student Toby Feynsham, the case remains hauntingly unsolved.

EadieB As Jem grows closer to uncovering what happened that night, his pursuer grows bolder, making increasingly terrifying attempts to silence him for good. Will exposing Toby's killer put to rest the shadows that have darkened Jem‘s life for so long? Or will the gruesome truth only put him in more danger?
Some secrets are better left buried…
This book is not like the other books that K.J. Charles has written.

EadieB It has a historical mystery and no romance. It is 10 years since the unsolved mystery of Toby‘s death and the police have not been contacted. Jem is calling them together in order to figure out the crime. I loved this book and what it does to all the members when the murderer is announced. Read it for yourself and see if you can figure out who did kill Toby and why. If you love mysteries that are unsolvable then you will love this book. 7mo

Book 2 in this trilogy. We continue knowing the main character and his family, specially his brother. I enjoyed the mystery and the interaction between these characters. There are funny parts. I want to know how the trilogy will ends. 3.8 ⭐️Love the cover😍

This was an interesting read. Although the case begins the story, its a bit of a slow start. Her disappearance is intriguing and although I figured out parts of it. The main conclusion was a surprise. The characters are not instantly likeable yet you start to warm to Agnes and Florence and the connection that forms. This does deal with some triggering issues so might not be for all. I enjoyed it but at times it seemed to drag. #Netgalley 3*

I didn't have a clear standout choice for #12Booksof2023 for February, so picked this one because it was a very entertaining read and is set at Christmas. So get cracking if you want another book for #WinterGames!

Andrew65 Sounds an interesting read. 11mo
