Murder by Death
I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.
Reading progress update: I've read 34 out of 269 pages.
This is going to be one of those reads that can be devoured in very little time, so I'm making myself stop at Chapter 5 for tonight.
It's a strong start so far. Since everything from the author to the series to the book is brand new to me, I'm not missing Miss Silver's presence; at this point it reads like any mid-century classic stand alone mystery. The first few chapters are from the POV of Charles, whom I'm guessing is meant to be the primary hero of this book, and chapter five is from the POV of Miss Standing. Charles has a slight air of Bright Young Thing to him but Miss Standing ... she might be one of the earliest examples of TSTL. I'm guessing the villains are going to rapidly regret ever involving themselves with her. Vapid with a side of chocolates.
