so-soIf you're looking for a murder mystery with twists, intrigue, tension, and suspicion... this ain't it. Everyone is still alive 3/4 into the story.
It was, however, a cosy slice of festive cheer. So if you can overlook the glaring lack of mystery and just enjoy it as a dinner with clashing personalities and a rustic feel, it is at least Christmassy.
Despite the festive minutiae being described, I did enjoy this more than Clement's debut.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Recent acquisition from St Mark's Cathedral for our personal library.
pick5 stars! I loved this book; it was my kind of thriller! A smart & capable female main character. A captivating plot. A whodunit but not in a locked room way. Good supporting characters & a rare, fascinating condition that the killer has. This was my 1st Helen Fields book & I want to read more! I hope she writes another book featuring Midnight Jones! I highly recommend this book!
Random book from our home library:
📖 Britain (LIFE World Library) by John Osborne
pickI knew about some of the efforts to keep the public fit in WWII, but not the experimental basis behind them, and not all of the stuff discussed here. I found this very readable and interesting.
Warning: if you're phobic about insects (or at least biting ones), be careful. There's a whole chapter on them, and I definitely had some intrusive thoughts and a nightmare because of it.
My library haul for today. I was there for the tagged book, which came in as a hold, but I grabbed a few others. The “blind date with a book“ ones had been set up for Christmas, and I felt bad that so many had been left unborrowed, so I scooped up any that were fantasy/SF.
They were Raymond E. Feist's King of Ashes, Karen Lord's The Blue Beautiful World, and Zen Cho's Spirits Abroad, which I miiiight have already read, I'll have to check.
