Sustenance at #MellowMushroom with raspberry beer and new #holidaymystery
I don‘t have television but my parents do, so I watched this today after Thanksgiving dinner with my mom. I thought it was very well done. 👍
I was worried about Bognan‘s casting in particular but the actor was perfect. I want to live at Cooper‘s Chase. I can‘t decide whose apartment I love the most. I would have loved to have been on the set design team.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
3.75 stars. Like the other books in the series, this Christmas special was deliberately meta and pays homage to Agatha Christie in a fresh way. It was fun to try to play along with solving the mystery, but I‘m nowhere near as shrewd as Ern! The advent calendar was a nice, festive touch.
pickThere‘s a certain kind of literary snob who would look down on The Thursday Murder Club, and I say boo to them. It‘s fun, it‘s funny, and it‘s got clever misdirects – not to mention a gang of characters I‘d love to have a cup of tea with. And it‘s not all kook and quirk; Osman addresses the challenges that come with ageing in a clear and compassionate way.

Read the first and third of the Susan Ryland and Atticus Pűnd books now reading the second. I hope Mr. Horowitz plans for more as I sure do enjoy them
pickA middling pick for the #ChristmasCrimeChallenge.
Set in the (fictional) Clarendon English Dictionary. Cryptic letters start arriving addressed to the editors, which seem to hint at what happened to Martha‘s sister, who went missing 10 years previously. Who? Why? Why now? And what does the sender know?
I listened on audio which, although done well, wasnt ideal for the clues and wordiness -& there is a LOT of wordiness as you‘d expect from Dent.
pickA therapist, a nurse, a union leader, and a spy, all retired, team up to solve cold cases. When the owner of their retirement community is found dead, they‘re on the case, much to the chagrin of the police.
Things heat up when more bodies are found and the TMC teams up with the police to find the killer.
Fun read that‘s full of delightful characters and unexpected twists.
pickAlthough a little slow in the beginning, this is a clever mystery with a huge twist - I was totally duped! #10BeforetheEnd

Reading the tagged book,an easy read,with my buddies 🐾.I have resorted to caffeinated coke in an effort to keep myself up for tonight‘s UConn v Michigan Women‘s basketball game.🏀 Happy Friday evening everyone!
pickLow pick but still easily readable. Quinn murders her husband and goes on the run at the worst of times: during a snow storm. After getting pulled over by the police, Quinn knows she‘s got to stop somewhere. Out of the blue appears the Baxter Motel, a ramshackle spot off the interstate that‘s seen better days. Is this place safe or did she just trap herself in somewhere that is more sinister than herself?
