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!
