Famous Last Words | Gillian McAllister

This was a good book to spend a lazy Sunday yesterday reading. It wasn't perfect but it held my interest and I wanted to see how it concluded. I liked that when the main character put together the clues in the end, she didn't act confused or doubt herself and she took decisive action.

Murder Most Actual | Alexis Hall

I absolutely bought this beer because of Jean Cocteau, and it‘s actually delightful. Yay! So is this madcap murder mystery from Alexis Hall. It‘s jam packed with references and oh, how I‘ve GIGGLED at it so far. Gonna read another big chunk while I finish the beer.

This was (despite the content) a fairly light audio read.
I quite liked the narration breaking the forth wall, trying to point you towards the same conclusions by making sure you are following clues and things. It was an interesting way to do the mystery thing.

And the story overall held my interest. I never work out who did it… maybe I need to read more mysteries 😂

The Late Monsieur Gallet | Georges Simenon

Panpan

The Late Monsieur Gallet (aka Maigret Stonewalled) (Inspector Maigret), by Georges Simenon (1931)

Premise: Inspector Maigret is called to Sancerre to investigate a murder, but the more he investigates the less everything makes sense.

Review: I find the Maigret novels really hit or miss, and sadly this was a miss for me. Cont

Mattsbookaday It excels where Simenon always does: in the atmosphere, setting, and in making the story revolve around the psychology of the victim rather than being a typical ‘who-dunnit‘. But this story just got bogged down in its own complexity. The reader is as stonewalled and frustrated as Maigret is throughout, and the ending doesn‘t pay off in a satisfying way
