I absolutely loved this Daisy Dalrymple murder. I'm not sure exactly why but it is my absolute favorite. It maybe because of all the characters and potential suspects jammed into one big old house. It was a super fun read and I highly recommend it.
Another absolutely delightful chapter book by Grabenstein. Even as an adult I find it hilarious. Children will definitely enjoy it and any parent reading along will too.
This series is such a delight to read. I read the first one 4 years ago and picked this up this summer no problems remembering the characters. Ann Granger does a wonderful job telling a murder story from everyone's perspective. An enjoyable Cotswolds murder mystery.
A Deception at Thornecrest by Ashley Weaver is the next great read in the Amory Ames mystery series. Amory and her husband, Milo, are at their home in the country awaiting the birth of their first child when other new arrivals show up and turn everything in the little town of Allingcross upside down. Then just when things might start calming down Milo’s stable hand, Bertie is found dead during the Springtide Festival. Amory of course sets out to solve the mystery even though everyone, including Milo, are nervous about her “condition” and are fearful of her putting herself in harms way. But as Milo says, Amory wouldn’t be Amory if she “were compliant and incurious.”
Even if the reader figures out whodunnit the keen, humorous dialogue between Amory and Milo and the ever expanding cast of eccentric characters keeps your attention. Amory’s strong female character, the situations she gets herself into, and her relationship and conversations with Milo is what makes me keep coming back to this series. This latest addition to the series is fast paced and thrilling and leaves the reader wanting more. Weaver has delivered another suspenseful, fun Amory mystery.
