Oscar Wilde and the Dead Man's Smile

Oscar Wilde and the Dead Man's Smile: A Mystery | Gyles Brandreth

pan

Oscar Wilde solves the murders of a poodle, a servant, and the head of an acting dynasty. In the process, he discovers a series of secrets that led to the murders.

This one (#3 in the series) was not nearly as interesting as the previous two in the series. It took over a hundred pages before the mystery even started, there were way too many characters to keep track of, and it was just really long and drawn out.

Scochrane26 Guess I won‘t feel bad about not continuing this series after the 2nd book. If I get back to it, I can skip the 3rd. 1y

Andrew65 Well done on finishing but a shame it wasn‘t better. 👏👏👏 1y

CoffeeNBooks @Andrew65 I have plenty of other series I can focus on this year instead. 😂 1y

CoffeeNBooks @Scochrane26 I thought maybe it was just me, but I saw a similar review on Goodreads. The 4th book in the series is about vampires, so I have high hopes for it! 🧛‍♂️ 1y

Oscar Wilde and the Dead Man's Smile: A Mystery | Gyles Brandreth

so-so

Least favourite of the series so far - 3 1/2 stars - I think probably due to the lack of the camaraderie between Wilde & Doyle, but it completes #Victorian for my #jennyis30 bingo card & #covercrush for #booked2020. @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

Also book 7 for #murder2020 @Tove_Reads & Letter #O for #Litsyatoz @BookishMarginalia

Cinfhen Such a beautiful cover 💘💘💘great choice 4y

jenniferw88 @Cinfhen this series was the obvious choice for this prompt once I started thinking about it - the first book was mainly bought because of the cover 🤣🤣🤣! 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Love the cover! 💕 4y
