#readyourkindle #September My kindle books are usually mysteries. All 4 of these are quite different in local, mystery to be solved, protagonist.
pickThis is a mystery, written by the author of Winnie The Pooh, that I finally got around to reading after seeing it referenced in other books. It is a fun, light, locked room type of story that references Sherlock Holmes and Watson. It reminded me of an Agatha Christie novel in a slightly condensed form (it is short) and for some reason I kept imagining it as a play. It was a nice afternoon diversion. 3.5 stars!
panClassic detective short stories where science and forensics play a crucial role.
The problem is the science and forensics are so antiquated that it's really hard to stay in some of these stories. This is coupled with a lot of very stiff and pompous style stories. Overall very few are enjoyable so I'd give this particular anthology by the British Library Crime Classics a pass.
pickAn enjoyable country house ‘golden age‘ mystery. Lots of characters and secrets. I didn‘t know what was going on until the end. It kept me on my toes and turning the pages. I read this with my local book group and the theme was a ‘classic‘. I think it fitted the bill as a British Crime Classic.
pickI would not have guessed that the author of Winnie the Pooh could write such a thoroughly masterful murder mystery. Clever, funny, mysterious, murdery, tricky, with extremely likable characters. A very satisfying read with a Sherlockian twist. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickAgatha Christie-esque. Liked the idea of a detective club and liked seeing how the detective club explored the mystery in different forms.
