The Locked Room by Elly Griffiths
4.0
I was very fortunate to win a free proof of The Locked Room in a Goodreads giveaway. Thank you to Goodreads and the publisher.
This is a 4.5 star read for me. I suspect there will be some complaints about how COVID was dealt with in places in the book, but I think the author hit all the right notes. Besides, it’s impossible to thread in great detail what everyone faced with COVID and lockdowns through a 350 page murder mystery plot.
This book felt a bit more like a special release, like a Christmas book except it was dealing with COVID, than a regular book in the series. The mystery was a bit easier to unravel. The overall tone was a bit lighter. It contained the most obvious clue in all 14 books, but that was ok with me. I adore this family of characters and I’ll be here waiting when Kate returns.
