Bookwormjillk I never got to Little House last night but this chapter gave me Downton Abbey vibes so now I really don't know what to watch. #FridayProblems 3mo

willaful What's a “bedroom utensil?“ From context, I'm guessing a chamber pot? 3mo
BarkingMadRead @willaful I think so? The only other thing I can think of would be one of these heating pans for cold nights 3mo
Bookwormjillk @willaful @BarkingMadRead I was wondering too but was afraid to google 3mo

Cuilin The last paragraph about wages finally being raised in the 90s, but then other costs rising too, and it taking a war for it to level out 😳 3mo

October ‘24 I had a record 5 5⭐️ reads! Love those kinds of months. 😊

I picked Cambridge‘s as my favorite as it was a wonderful addition in the Phyllida Bright series. Lots of forward movement and an excellently plotted mystery.

The second Phyllida Bright mystery, this one is a little less Downton mystery. It involves a bunch of bloodthirsty amateur detective writers, the famous Detection Club and the most lethal of English traditions - a village fete. It is once again up to Agatha Christie's housekeeper to puzzle out the culprit, motive and methods. I am still Team Dr Bhatt and his handsome inky black moustaches.

This is a fun old fashioned mystery set in the imaginary country home of Agatha Christie. Phylidda Bright is the housekeeper/ detective who has to solve the murder. The local detective is too incompetent and can‘t be trusted to solve anything. The second installment in what I hope is a series. I can see this as a PBS costume drama. I‘m really going to miss my reading marathon #Jumpstart2023 when I go back to work on Monday 😢💚🐉

Clwojick Sounds right up my alley! 2y
Jess_Read_This This sounds like a series I would love! Just placed a library hold on the first one. Thanks for sharing! 2y
Dragon Thanks @Clwojick @Jess_Read_This - it‘s a cozy and I like the Agatha Christie theme- hopefully you enjoy it as much as I enjoy the audiobooks 💚🐉 2y

Phyllida Bright is back and better than ever in this second installment of cosy mysteries set at or near the residence of one Mrs Agatha Christie. I adore Phyllida and the way she's so very subtle yet not at all - and I especially love the kindness she shows her fellow household staff at every turn. No murder on page, but the mystery was thick as molasses with so many suspects and a lovely twist at the end. Perfect cosy autumn read!

The oh so proper, yet incredibly vibrant, Phyllida Bright is back in her second mystery. Having already read the very entertaining Murder at Mallowan Hall, I had certain expectations for this new book. Let‘s just say that I was not disappointed.
A lovely cozy mystery that pays homage to the Golden Age of Detective Fiction while giving us just a taste of Agatha Christie. #NetGalley #KensingtonBooks
