The Weird Sisters | Eleanor Brown

I really liked this story of three Sisters, who were named for Shakespeare characters, and grew up quoting Shakespeare, as their dad is a professor of Shakespeare. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to keep reading it, since their mom is fighting breast cancer, but her cancer journey was so eloquently written about and the experiences were described so correctly, that it felt like a hug of acknowledgement and support throughout the story.

When former actress Cryptessa is killed with the stake of the "Do Not Tresspass" sign from her yard through her heart, one of her neighbors is a suspect. But, all of them had recent arguments with Cryptessa, so it could have been any of them.

This has been my absolute favorite book of this series so far! It was a very Agatha Christiesque whodunit mystery with our favorite characters Georgiana, Darcy, Belinda, and Queenie.

Bk12 of #Scarathlon is done! I listened to the audiobook which was 7hrs long, a few of the hours on the time are extra from Troubled Blood which I‘m reading in print. After reading the new sequel, I had to go back & read the original. Creepy, dark & melancholic. #31x31 #Falling4Books #Rushathon #Spookaween #AfterDarkBingo #BodyCountBingo #LittenListen #PromptMaze #ErasGhostBingo #BookspinBingo #FangtasticReadathon👇 #SpookyGhostClub 3291pts

Lizpixie By the way, I hate that the audiobook cover is the movie tie-in. I don‘t mind the movie(schlocky horror I love!)I just don‘t like movie/tv covers. (edited) 12mo

Bk9 of #Scarathlon & Bk2 of #OutstandingOctober #Readathon is done. Thank god! That was one of the most ominous books I‘ve read. It starts quietly but once it gets going it‘s like a hand just hovering over the back of your neck. Creepy as f**k. #31x31 #Falling4Books #Rushathon #Spookaween #AfterDarkBingo #BodyCountBingo #ISpyBingo #Witchathon #PromptMaze #NaturalitsyBingo #ErasGhostBingo #BookspinBingo #OneMoreChapter👇 #SpookyGhostClub 3031pts

Lizpixie @Read4life that it was. It was sanctioned by Shirley Jackson‘s estate as a sequel to Hill House, and it had that same sense of foreboding.💀🫣 13mo

This was rather bland. It had a lot of fun ideas that just fizzled on the page. It wasn't bad, it wasn't good, it was very blah.

I appreciate the lack of romance. That would have made the book even more cliche.

It could have done with some better editing too. There were a few bits where characters were given information and then a sentence later asked for the same information.

The series has potential and it's easy reading.

TheSpineView Well done! 13mo

Clwojick I just read another series by this author, and although there were some characters that I liked (mostly the cat and dog - lol!), I felt like it was a very mediocre cozy. Most cozies don‘t blow me away… but it was just very middle of the road. 13mo

PuddleJumper @Clwojick Most cosies are a miss for me. I like the idea and then it's just a meh book 13mo

This is a solid cosy paranormal mystery/romance. It was well written and well paced and the characters weren't obnoxious.

The talking ghost cat was the best character.
