novelesque_life's review against another edition
4.0
RATING: 3.5 STARS
I liked this one as it made me laugh a few times, I do enjoy the ridiculous of this series. The quirky characters are always a hoot. I do find that Beaton is a bit harsh when talking about someone's looks (also personality) which leaves me a bit uncomfortable. It seems a bit mean, and am glad these are fictional characters.

Very enjoyable and different that some of the previous mysteries. Love Hamish’s methods.

Review - The two separate murders being unrelated was a new twist in Beaton's writing, as was the link to a major crime syndicate. Previously, the murders were seemingly almost always unrelated to the outside world. The new element worked to revive an old formula. I didn't see the twist with Betty and John coming which was a boon, but the relationship between Hamish and Priscilla is now getting boring, they need to solve their issues and move on, to help the stories move on as well.
