The balance between all those ingredients was off somehow. Even though the humour in it often made me laugh and the clues were clever and the characters were colourful, the book felt stodgy. At the beginning, Edie engaged my attention. In her revamped Scrooge persona I found her spiky wit enjoyable and her isolation understandable. By the end of the book, the clumsily handled redemptive story arc had started to annoy me and I had no patience for tying up all the loose ends after the murderer is revealed and their motives and methods explained. It's not that this was a bad book. It wasn't a book I thought about setting aside. It was like a Christmas cake that smelled better than it tasted. (  ) MikeFinnFiction | Jan 9, 2024 | This is a fun, quirky and very different Christmas story featuring some zany characters. It’s quite a clever little mystery with a few puzzles for the reader to solve, too. I enjoyed joining Edie on her sleuthing journey where she analyses the clues and draws her own conclusions. Lighthearted and humorous with dark overtones, it’s well plotted and written in an easy and fast flowing style. I did try to work out who was behind all the shenanigans but failed miserably. My little grey cells and powers of deduction were not up to this one! 😄 It was an enigma. An entertaining and brain teaser of a read, it had me gripped throughout and kept my attention until the end.

THIS CHRISTMAS, A KILLER TAKES FAMILY GAMES TO A MURDEROUS NEW LEVEL. On 19th of December, renowned puzzle setter, loner and Christmas sceptic Edie O'Sullivan finds a hand-delivered present on her doorstep. Unwrapping it, she finds a jigsaw box and, inside, six jigsaw pieces. When fitted together, the pieces show part of a crime scene - blood-spattered black and white tiles and part of an outlined body. Included in the parcel is a message: 'Four, maybe more, people will be dead by midnight on Christmas Eve, unless you can put all the pieces together and stop me.' It's signed, Rest In Pieces. Edie contacts her nephew, DI Sean Brand-O'Sullivan, and together they work to solve the clues. But when a man is found near death with a jigsaw piece in his hand, Sean fears that Edie might be in danger and shuts her out of the investigation. As the body count rises, however, Edie knows that only she has the knowledge to put together the killer's murderous puzzle. Only by fitting all the pieces together will Edie be able to stop a killer - and finally lay her past to rest. Praise for Alexandra Benedict's Christmas mysteries: 'The perfect gift for quizzers and mystery addicts . . .' Val McDermid 'Whatever you unwrap for Christmas, you had better hope it's this book This is 21st-century cosy Christmas crime that doesn't shy away from the darkness' Janice Hallett 'A thrilling journey from start to finish. Highly recommended' Elly Griffiths 'It's wonderful! A page-turning homage to the Golden Age, with a dash of Poirot and a dark, modern heart' S J Bennett Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
