A review by jupiter2932
Murder at the Mansion by Sheila Connolly

2.5

 Okay, I'm going to be honest here: I read this book less than a month ago and I've already forgotten almost all of it.

It doesn't help that I listened to it on audiobook; I have ADHD, so audiobooks have traditionally been more difficult for me to get through than paper copies. And I was stressed out when I read it, so probably if I had given it a go on a different week, and if I'd read the mass market I have somewhere, it might have stuck with me a bit better.

But honestly, I don't think I'd be raving about it anyway.

I do remember the basic setup: a hotel manager gets laid off and goes to her hometown to fix up a historical Victorian house as part of a plan to draw more tourism and business to the town. The rest of it, though, is already kind of fuzzy. I vaguely remember the murder and whodunnit, but frankly it just didn't stick with me. I like cozy mysteries quite a bit, and I've liked other books by this author (her apple orchard series), but this one just didn't click for me. I think I have the rest of the series in paperback, actually, so I might just give those a go, but I can't say I highly recommend this one.
