Blog Tour - The Locked Room


Review - 5 out of 5 stars:


I absolutely loved the previous two books in this series (The Missing Maid and The Cursed Writer), so I was excited to get my hands on The Locked Room.


I so enjoyed reading this book. Harry is a character who appealed to me from the very first, and I love the way she’s developing and gaining confidence in her skills. I also found the way her relationships with various other characters are going on enjoyable. Though I don’t like Percy Finchem!


The mystery was an intriguing one, as locked room mysteries so often are. I had a lot of fun trying to work out what was going on alongside Harry and her friends.


Overall, this was an intriguing and exciting mystery, with a very relatable main character. I highly recommend the whole series.


I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own.



Blurb:


Join Harriet White in 1930's London for another glorious Sherlock Holmes-inspired mystery, for fans of Nita Prose and Janice Hallett.


After a very close call on the Norfolk Fens, Harriet White is about ready to hang up her deerstalker and settle back into her normal life, working in a bank on Baker Street. Until she discovers a letter in The Times newspaper challenging Sherlock Holmes to prove his status as the world’s greatest detective, by solving an impossible mystery. The letter, signed Professor James Moriarty, advises Holmes that the crime will be committed within the following seven days. There will be no further clues – Holmes himself must deduce which crime is the correct one to investigate.


Dismissing the letter as a prank, Harry goes about her business until news breaks of the theft of valuable jewel collection from a safe in an apparently locked room in a Mayfair townhouse.

Intrigued in spite of her misgivings, Harry dons a disguise and investigates. But as she begins to unpick the puzzle, a body is found. And now, a stranger, and far more deadly mystery begins to unfold around her...

Review: Even and Odd

Image
Even and Odd by Sarah Beth Durst My rating: 4 of 5 stars Sarah Beth Durst is a new author for me, but I’d seen several recommendations, so I thought I’d give Even and Odd a try. I enjoyed this magical adventure. Even, Odd, and Jeremy are great characters. The character development is good, especially for Jeremy. The world building is really good, both in the magical land of Firoth, and in the mundane world. I liked the idea of the border shops, and the magical beings were fun. The plot was really great, a good blend of the children adventuring on their own, but realistic levels of handing over to parents when available. A lot of children’s books seem to ignore this aspect, so this was good to see. The pacing is good, exciting, but not too tense or scary. Overall, this was a fun and magical adventure, with great characters and convincing world building. I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own. View all my reviews ...

Review: The Enforcer Enigma

Image
The Enforcer Enigma by G.L. Carriger My rating: 5 of 5 stars Gail Carriger (aka G. L. Carriger) is my favourite author, and I will read anything she has written. I have high expectations, and she exceeds them every time.  This book was wonderful, just like all the others in this series. It was both hilarious and touching. It had a beautiful, heartwarming plot. As usual, the use of language is wonderful, and often playful, in a way that reminds me of P. G. Wodehouse (though the plot is obviously not alike). I really can’t recommend this series (and Gail Carriger in general) enough. View all my reviews

Blog Tour - Death at a Paris Hotel

  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I have been enjoying the Lady Eleanor Swift series since the very beginning, and Death at a Paris Hotel is no exception.  This time around, Eleanor, Hugh, Clifford, and Gladstone are in Paris celebrating. Naturally, people start dying, and our favourite characters start investigating! I really enjoyed the setting. The different areas of the city, and the Chateau, all had their different atmospheres. It was fun exploring so many places through the characters eyes. The mystery was most, well mysterious! It’s hard to say very much without any spoilers, but every time I thought I might have some idea what was going on, they found out something else that threw a new light on things.  As always, it was a joy to spend time with some of my favourite characters. I missed the ladies and Tomkins, of course, but I very much enjoyed spending lots of time with Eleanor, Hugh, and Clifford. And seeing them starting to function even better as a team. It was al...
