Murder Most Actual | 
pickThis book was fairly light and entertaining. I think I‘d have found it even funnier if I was a real conissieur (I do not know how to spell this!) of the genre - I‘ve read a few Agatha Christie‘s and like them a lot but certainly haven‘t read them all. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
@Kenyazero posting about getting ready for next year's #LGBTQBookBingo reminded me to post this year's! 5 bingos-- not too shabby! #LGBTQ2022
pickThis is a fun mystery. Tongue-in-cheek type humor with nods to Agatha Christie and Clue (maybe others that I didn't catch).
The main character is a true crime podcaster. Her wife surprises her with a weekend at a Scottish castle turned resort because their marriage is on the rocks. There's a blizzard and they're snowed in and the bodies start piling up.

A true crime podcaster finds herself in the middle of an actual murder mystery after her wife books them a trip to a remote Scottish hotel to work on their strained marriage. I loved how the book played with a lot of the classic murder mystery tropes and how the chapter titles referenced Clue. I thought the classic elements of a mystery paired well with the modern true crime podcast type investigation. It was a fun read.
pickI really, really wanted to love this and while there were parts that I enjoyed, the relationship between Liza and Hanna also cut into my enjoyment of this. The characters, the setting, the murder; very Clue like and lots of fun. The ending and the explanations for the murders, also very fun. The relationship between the two ladies? Very tedious. Liza‘d attitude towards her wife really made me want to tear my hair out.
pickTrue crime podcaster, Liza and her wife, Hanna head for a weekend in the Scottish Highlands in hopes of rekindling their troubled marriage. When dead bodies start piling up; they find themselves on the hunt for the killer or maybe killers before they are next. I devoured this locked room mystery in one sitting. This is one for the Agatha Christie crowd. Thanks to NetGalley and Kobo for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.
pickThis adorable cozy mysteries follows a true crime podcaster and her wife on a weekend getaway to Scotland where the two become wrapped up in discovering who's behind a series of murders, hoping they won't be next. Very Clue-esque and cute. Highly recommended.
4.5 /5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Tagging the audiobook I've been listening to nonstop since last night because it's so good, but mostly just posting as an excuse to show off my new girl Wednesday: a black and white banded Kingsnake hatchling! I adore her so much already I could burst.
