January 2024 Leeds First Direct Arena 13th and 14th Jan - Monster Trucks Live 20th Jan -Misfits & DAZN X Series 012 (boxing) 27th and 28th Vitality Netball Nations Cup 2024 This is an online event ( you don't have to have a kindle you can use the computer or app) where authors work together with the Romance readers web site to make a Massive list of free to download books - all genres avaliable.
So if you want to save a little money in this post christmas time - just jump in. https://www.romancebookworms.com/kindle Next in my series on Murder Mystery's in the style of the Golden Age of Crime we have this super offering by Ada Moncrieff. It is just right for curling up in front of the fire and is avaliable in Paperback, Kindle and Audio formats. The mystery starts with the cast being invited to the launch of the Maybridge Castle Hotel (see the Hospitality Tie in?) as the first Haunted/ Spiratulist hotel. There is a good mixed cast of characters, good twists in the plot and various red herrings. Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and the cosy murder Genre. Plus I do have a soft spot for a cat as a main character. As readers may or may not know Sophie Hannah has been authorised by the Agatha Christie Estate to produce these new novels. As a Big Agatha fan as many in Harrogate are (due to her history here when she vanished without a trace to be found here at The Old Swan Hotel) I was curious to see how these new additions would fit into the established works. I am happy to report I was very pleasantly surprised and the side kick of Catchpool makes a nice replacement for Inspector Japp and Hastings. Harrogate thanks to its history and pleasant setting is home to the #Theakstons Old Peculior Crime Writing Festival enabling avid fans to step back in time to the Golden Age of Crime writing as well as see the modern take. However back to Open Casket - in true Agatha Style the reader is kept well in the dark until the big reveal, in this book its the sheer number of suspects keeps you guessing with pretty much all of the cast at the houseparty having a strong motive for murder both for money or personal reasons. I also indulged in the Audio book read by Julian Rhind-Tutt who inhabited the characters with style. All in all a good winter read. |
