Thanks to #Kensington and #Goodreads Giveaway for this FREE hardcover book!

4.5 Stars • In "Murder by Invitation Only" by Colleen Cambridge is the third book in the Phyllida Bright Series, which revolves around Agatha Christie‘s fictional housekeeper. Phyllida attends a murder mystery game hosted by Christie‘s new neighbors. The game turns deadly when the host, Mr. Wokesley, who was playing the role of the corpse, is found murdered for real. ⬇️

suvata Phyllida, with her deductive skills honed by working for Mrs. Agatha, takes charge of the investigation in the absence of Inspector Cork. She guides the local constable through interviews with the Murder Game actors, gradually uncovering that everyone had a motive to kill Mr. Wokesley, both in the game and in real life. 5mo

Just got the audiobook off the wait-list on #libby
Yay! My favorite comfort audio series. Going to need another one since I'm caught up. Whose got a nice cozy mystery series that's good in audio? And in Libby or hoopla.

Ruthiella You could try the Alan Bradley Flavia de Luce mysteries starting with 2y
emz711 @Ruthiella got em, love em. Never done the audio though, it's good? 2y
Ruthiella @emz711 I listened to a few narrated by Jane Entwistle and really enjoyed them. 2y
Ruthiella Have you tried the Amelia Peabody books? Also great on audio. A rare case where I actually prefer listening over reading. 2y
emz711 @Ruthiella I have listened to a few of the Peabody ones 2y

I just created a DNF shelf on goodreads specifically for this book. I wanted to remind myself that I am DONE with this insipid series & should not pick it up any more no matter how much I want to know if she picks Norman, Mike or the cat. I got about 5 pages in not counting recipes. Maybe the dumbest 5 pages of garbage I've ever read. How did I enjoy the first few of these enough to suffer through the rest of the 28 increasingly awful books?🤷‍♀️

Prairiegirl_reading I read a Christmas themed one and I‘ll never read another! 3y
rockpools 😂😂😂 Love it! I did enjoy the first few of these, MANY years ago. Have been wondering if I should pick up the series again… and now I know! 3y
Traci1 @Prairiegirl_reading good decision. 3y

Traci1 @rockpools you really should not. They just get worse and worse. I think if I hadn't gotten into the hallmark movies they made of the first several books, I would have given up on them long before now. 3y
rockpools @Traci1 Noted! I‘ve always kind of wished Litsy had a ‘Don‘t touch it with a barge pole‘ button, alongside the stack button, just to remind you that you‘ve actively ruled something out! 3y
Traci1 @rockpools I am totally down for a barge pole button! 3y
ravenlee @rockpools @Traci1 How about a “run screaming” button? 😆 I would use the heck out of that. 3y
Traci1 @ravenlee lol, yeah I have quite a few that I'd use that for. Lots just from this series. 3y
Susanita My book club read a Christmas one, and it was a universal pan. 3y
Clare-Dragonfly @rockpools I would definitely use that 😂 3y

Mehso-so

I love a good cozy mystery that I can sink my teeth into but, the last few books in this series have ended up being more fluff and puff than meaty. I keep reading out of habit. I keep hoping that Hannah will get a clue about her own life. That she'll be blessed with some insight and some clarity and that there will finally be some resolution to the biggest mystery of her un-love life. I enjoyed some of the recipes early on(cont in comments)

TheHeartlandBookFairy in the series but they've become stranger & stranger as the series has continued. At least 1/3rd of the book is now recipes, just a way to make the word count longer IMO. With a weak plot and somewhat unbelievable events, disjointed and disconnected character stories, I'd have to say this book is half baked at best for me. I hate to say it but I think it's time to tie up all the loose ends, have Hannah make a decision, and wrap up the series. Stick a fork in it, I think it's done. 3y

If you like a good twisty mystery, this might appeal to you. A woman is accused of murder and then finds herself in the North Tower on 9/11. Twenty Years later a reporter with an interesting past of her own starts looking into the old case. There's a lot going on. I couldn't put it down.

"Want some coffee, Norman?" "That'd be swell, Hannah." "There's half a cup left, Norman. Do you want to split the half cup, Norman?" "That'd be swell, Hannah. We'd each get a quarter cup, Hannah." "That's right, Norman. I like that you're so good at math, Norman." "It's swell that you like that about me, Hannah." (Maybe not actual quotes, but it's close).

I'm done with this ridiculously bad series.

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Oh my...that sounds extremely painful... 😟 4y
AlaMich 😂Yeah, kick that one to the curb! 4y
Traci1 @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm @AlaMich I feel like I have a pretty high tolerance for terrible books. But there was literally a scene in this one where a woman says "chassis," and her husband says "aw you learned something for your brothers working on cars." And she says she learned how to get oil stains out of their clothes. Man do car stuff. Woman do laundry. ? 4y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm 😂🤣😂🤣 Wow. 4y
