Mayhem at the Orient Express by Kylie Logan
3.0
Chandra, Kate and Bea are neighbours who ae at each others throats for silly neighbour complaints. A frustrated judge sees the perfect way to get them to work together, and to save the funding for the village library, he orders them to form a book club. The League of Literary Ladies is born. Luella joins them because she loves to read and off we go.
The first book the ladies read is Murder on the Orient Express. In the midst of a blizzard they make their way, separately, to the new Chinese restaurant in town, you guessed it, The Orient Express. There they find the owner murdered.
This and the blizzard bring all the ladies together along with other sundry characters, most of whom had a reason to want Peter Chan dead.
My main quibble with this book is that there is no way I believe that someone as supposedly worldly and New York as Bea did not pick up that one of her characters was a man in drag. Sorry but even RuPaul doesn't do it that well.
I thought this book was fun and want to read the next in the series.
