Narrated by Deborah Balm
Run Time: 8 hrs and 22 mins
Genre: cozy-ish mystery
Summary:
Agnes Lockwood goes on holiday (vacation) to her hometown after a long time away. She catches up with an old friend who happens to be the Chief Inspector looking into a series of robberies at the hotel she’s staying at. Then, bodies start showing up.
Additional Comments:
- The last little bit had some excitement, but it was otherwise about 7.5 hours of the police chasing their tales and Agnes handing them clue after clue.
- I loved the narrator’s accent.
- Would have been way better if the police were somewhat useful to the investigation. I get it, you want your amateur to shine, but it doesn’t help them look good if everybody else is completely inept.
- Book was kind of boring.
- The conclusion turned out satisfying.
- Agnes needs a cat to really sell it as a cozy, but there’s nothing in here to justify categorizing it with thrillers or suspense. Mystery still works, but it’s a very, very slow burn sort of mystery.
Conclusion:
I have another book in the series, so I’ll give it a go, but these aren’t gonna end up on any favorites lists.
