Murder on the Golden Arrow
by Magda Alexander
In genere i libri che fanno parte di una serie li leggo in rigoroso ordine cronologico, per evitare in tutti modi spoiler sulla trama e sul destino dei personaggi. Murder on the golden arrow è, sì, il primo della serie dei Misteri di Kitty Worthington, ma non è il primo che leggo: alcuni mesi fa ho letto – senza rendermi conto che era il secondo – Murder at Westminster e mi è piaciuto talmente tanto sia da non interrompere la lettura quando ho capito che era il secondo (giuro che in altri casi l'ho fatto!) sia da cercare di leggere anche il primo non appena mi fosse stato possibile. Conoscevo già la trama a grandi linee? Certo. Sapevo come sarebbe andato a finire? Ovvio. Sapevo come si sarebbero sviluypatta le relazioni tra i vari personaggi? Ancora sì. Mi è per questo piaciuto poco? No, assolutamente! È un libro frizzante, divertente, spiritoso, arguto, che si fa leggere in un battibaleno...adesso che sono rientrataneio ranghi corretti di lettura, procederò con il terzo!

Usually I read the books that are part of a series in a strict chronological order, to completely avoid spoilers on the plot and on the fate of the characters. Murder on the golden arrow is, yes, the first in Kitty Worthington's Mysteries series, but it's not the first one I've read: a few months ago I read - without realizing it was the second in order - Murder at Westminster and I loved it so much I didn't stop reading it when I realized it was the second (I swear that in other cases I did!) and I tried to read the first as soon as possible. Did I already know the plot in outline? Of course. Did I know how it would turn out? Obvious. Did I know how the relationships between the various characters would develop? Still yes. Did I like this less than the other book? Absolutely not! It is a sparkling, funny and witty novel, which can be read in a flash... now that the correct reading ranks are back, I will proceed with the third one!
