larissaj's review against another edition
Slow paced, unlikeable characters, halfway through the book and not much has really happened. Just not gripped by it

The entire time I was reading this book, I kept thinking it would make a fantastic movie! I enjoyed this one a lot. Interesting characters. Engaging plot. Kept me guessing to the end.
barbarab's review
Ett gäng kvinnor där alla hatar varandra anländer till en herrgård där bokklubben ska umgås en helg. Alla är väldigt sarkastiska mot varandra. Antar att det ska vara humoristiskt, men för mig var det bara tröttsamt . Gav upp efter 60 sidor

It took me sometime to get into this book. The characters are all mad, bad and dangerous to know but far from engaging for me as the reader. There was too much made of how much everyone "disliked" Ursula and, indeed, how much she herself set out to be disliked. The narrative got a bit lost in the constant "blacking out" of Ursula. Whilst it is far from comparable quality the mystery reminded me of [b:The Mousetrap |121655|The Mousetrap and Other Plays|Agatha Christie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1255774464l/121655._SX50_.jpg|747005] or another of Christie's books [b:And Then There Were None|16299|And Then There Were None|Agatha Christie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1391120695l/16299._SY75_.jpg|3038872]. I have read other reviews of this book which suggest it is laugh out loud I completely missed this humour if indeed it was there. For me whilst it was not a dreadful read it failed to really create any continuity in its narrative line. I did quite like the labelling of the chapters as a sort of Murder 101 / guide on what not to do. Unfortunately the author has in some ways ignored her own advice. I am willing to give the author another try in the future so its not all bad

Even if the plot is interesting I couldn't connect to the characters that I found unlikeable and the story fell flat.
Not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Discovering that I don't enjoy murder mystery (aka Clue game) storylines. I became annoyed at the constant shushing of Bridget.

I received an ARC from NetGalley.
I could not finish. I kept hoping it would get better, but it didn’t. The relationship between mother and daughter just drove me nuts. There were some funny parts, but overall, I didn’t enjoy the book.

*****copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review****
Another case of me liking the idea of a book better than the reality. The blurb is good, but all the characters are fairly awful and not in an enjoyably awful way. This is being sold as an update to the classic murder mysteries, but apart from being set in a big country house, I didn't really see the connection. Never mind. Not for me.
