This series is so charming and I love the characters and the world. Listening to the audiobook, this was a lot of fun and performed well. I've very much so invested in the obvious tensions forming between Saffron and Dr Lee - and where that will leave us with Ashton.
As expected, this was a lot of fun. Going into this, I knew this was a well-loved Christie mystery, but I didn't know much more than that. This is a great head-scratcher because you feel like you're trying just as hard as Poirot to work out what's going on, but it's so damn confounding.
This was phenomenal! I don't even think I have the words to express how much I loved this. I went into it knowing it was one of Christie's most famous and well-loved books, but even then, my expectations were thoroughly surpassed.
Another great addition to this series! I just love how cute and cosy this crime series is. Once again, we are following our main cast of characters, and Murder Most British takes us to the heart of wartime London thick with smog and chock-block full of action.
Richard Osman does it again in this final instalment of the Thursday Murder Club. I was somewhat nervous going into this, because a final book means he could kill off whoever he wanted - and I was still feeling emotionally scarred from the rollercoaster that was book four.
The sweet and simple nature of this series is what makes it so enjoyable to read. After finishing book one, I was ready to tuck into some more cosy crime adventures with the same characters, but the unexpected added bonus is the character development that occurs along the way. This is a series that is absolutely worth reading in chronological order because of this reason.
My main takeaway from going through all the July releases is that July is cosy crime month! There were so many fun and quirky mysteries abound (and plenty more that didn't make my list).
This series has continued to impress and delight me, and things take a very serious turn in book 4. While there has always been good continuation between the books, particularly the character development, The Last Devil to Die really took this up a notch and manage to pull severely on our heartstrings in doing so.
This was what it said on the tin: a cute, fun, Golden Age cosy crime. Set in 1941 in London and surrounds, this follows two main characters who are unhappily lumped together to puzzle out a case. This was the perfect curl-up-on-the-couch-with-a-cuppa sort of book.
Naturally, this was every bit as enjoyable as its predecessors. I've started really looking forward to the interview at the end of the audiobook between Richard Osman and a special guest. It's a very fun way to reflect on the book right as you've finished it (though I must admit, having just said that, this was my least favourite interview - the interviewer covered a lot of the same ground as from book one's interview #awks and the audio quality was lowkey terrible? But I shall forgive).
