Bookwormjillk Lol perfect pic, because yeah. Completely random at least to me. 20h
TheAromaofBooks That is an AMAZING picture 😂 I did kind of suspect Wyatt, but not for any of the reasons he gave LOL I was thinking more along the lines of him not wanting the family name to be disgraced or something like that. But I really felt like the ending was a stretch after everything we went through. 20h

eeclayton Another well chosen photo that perfectly captures how I feel about the ending! #didnotseethiscoming #ifeelcheated 19h
Ruthiella So far fetched! 😂 I also feel let down by the ending. 19h
AnnCrystal Precious 🤩💝. 18h
KAO Cute picture! But that‘s the best part of this ending, in my opinion. I struggled with this whole book, I must confess! The language (so many regional and dated expressions!) was entertaining though. Thanks for guiding us through it, but I‘m glad to move on to Shirley! 18h
Bklover Well. It wasn‘t Meggie. I was so sure!! Apparently this is part of a series with Albert Campion. And again I say “huh?” 18h
Bklover And what a cutie pie!! Love the photo! 17h
lil1inblue That pic is the perfect reaction to this ending. #definitelyfeelcheated #whysorandom #whatthefork 17h
rubyslippersreads @Bklover I‘m curious whether anyone is going to read more books in the series, where Campion is more of the main character? I‘ve seen them praised by famous mystery writers, but I wonder if they‘re all as squirrely as this one? 😏 17h
mcctrish Your granddaughter wins!!! The only good part of the lame ass ending was Wyatt being proud of his perfect crime and Abbershaw pointing out all the holes and lack of perfection #dontquityourdayjobwyatt 16h
willaful @TheAromaofBooks yes, I was sure it was Wyatt but where on earth did that backstory come from?! 16h
willaful @rubyslippersreads they definitely get better, though I'm not sure I'm inclined to reread any. So many other books. 16h
dabbe @willaful @TheAromaofBooks This is when a detective story can feel like we got cheated. Where the hell did that backstory come from indeed? We therefore were not privy to all the information--which is why we feel cheated! And, for a series that is continuing on with Campion, where the hell was he? He's been AWOL for PAGES!!! Her first book was definitely experimental IMHO. I wonder if they get better, and I'm not sure I want to find out. 🤣 16h
dabbe Couldn't (again) have read through this without the incomparable @BarkingMadRead and this lovely group! 🩶🤍🩵 16h
ElizaMarie I was also so blindsided by this crazy, weirdness. As @dabbe mentioned, thank you again and again for @barkingmandread for being the amazing host that you are. Love this picture too! 16h
BarkingMadRead @anncrystal @kao @bklover @lil1inblue @mcctrish thank you!! I love her so much, she‘s such a joy! 16h
dabbe She is AD🩵RABLE! 16h
BarkingMadRead Yall, this book was nuts. I won‘t be reading any more of them 🤣 I wondered the same about campion. If she was going to use him in future, he should have played a role in the ending! So crazy!! 16h
BarkingMadRead @dabbe thank you!! 16h
mcctrish @dabbe @BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie @TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk @eeclayton @Ruthiella @AnnCrystal @KAO @Bklover @lil1inblue @rubyslippersreads @willaful the best part of a bonkers group read is the injokes going forward #whenallthemendied #therewasnomysteryinudolpho #maincharacterenegylikecampion 15h
Ruthiella @rubyslippersreads I will very likely continue. 15h
AllDebooks Oh my, she is adorable, and that look totally sums up this book. Absolute bonkers! I only continued reading for this group. You make the craziest, dullest books bearable with your hilarious #s, Kim. You are the 👑👸 of summarisation. Thank you for all your hard work @BarkingMadRead 💜 15h
AllDebooks @BarkingMadRead I hate this book and all its absurd pomposity. That proposal was madness! I will not be reading any more of her books. Thank you and goodnight. 14h
BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks thank you! And 🤣🤣🤣 14h
Gissy Adorable🥰 💖 12h
Larkken @rubyslippersreads I may continue. I find golden age mysteries to be very readable. However, I also suspected Wyatt, though not for the batty reasons he gave, and much like @TheAromaofBooks and @willaful (edited) 12h
Larkken Great photo! So cute and appropriate 🥰 12h
kwmg40 Thanks for sharing the great photo of your granddaughter! As for the book, I agree with others that this one was weak. However, I have enjoyed other Albert Campion books, and I did learn that Allingham had never meant to bring Campion back as a major character when writing this book, and only did so after her publishers insisted. 8h
