it was amazing
bookshelves: mystery, p-i-dectective

I do enjoy witty banter! I have been going in blind to reading some new authors (to me) books recently. I mean I know the broad category but am not familiar with their other works and this is one of them and I LOVED it. The first half of the book the plot is fast paced, and the dialogue remains funny. If I have any quibbles, it is the large cast of characters. I sometimes had to go back and reread pages to remember who they were. Part of my fun in reading mysteries is guessing "who done it". I had a lot of fun with this and changed my mind several times. I recommend this book and plan to read the next one. I am enjoying that some of the best-selling books have a mix of ages for the characters. Let me say Rosie is a wonderfully written character that is my favorite as she has done it all. 4.5* and I plan to read other books by the author and can't wait for book II in this series.

C.  (Comment, never msg). Richard Osman is well liked and I would pick his books up if I saw them second-hand. Five stars certainly make them compelling.

Merry, my recent reviews after a time away, share a personal loss. Condolences are appreciated when you have time (at my profile, never on someone else's of course). We share because we WANT the support of "Sorry for your loss". I hate "no comment clicks" on my work at the best of times. Thanks, Carolyn.

Merry Thank you, Tina, I have been looking at highly rated mystery books and just going for it.


Izzie McFussy Terrific review, Merry. Positive reviews for Osman’s book pop up everywhere on GR. Gotta give this one a try.

Grisette Great review Merry! So glad you enjoyed this Richard Osman. Have you ever read the Thursday Murder Club series? It's one of my favourite series and the wit and banter is out of this world!


Merry Grisette, Thank you! I have heard of the series but had not read any of his books before this one. I plan to change that soon lol especially if it has good banter.


Iain(I’m a adult) Jones Glad you loved it 😊


Iain(I’m a adult) Jones Give his books a go Izzie , you won’t be disappointed


Merry Thank you Iain!
