Who is Writing Deadly Poison Pen Letters?
Edwina’s first day at the local magistrate ends with a complaint about a public brawl between two men she thought were friends. When she gets to the bottom of things, she discovers that one of them received a poison pen letter and believed what it said about his friends. She is concerned about what this might mean in the village, especially after Beryl gets one. When Constable Gibbs asks them to look into it, they learn just how widespread the problem is. Can they figure out who is sending them before the damage gets worse?

This is another charming mystery for mismatched sleuths Edwina and Beryl in the aftermath of World War I. I had a few pieces figured out before they did, but I didn’t figure most of it out until I reached the end. I was in awe of how it all came together when I did. Once again, I enjoyed seeing the growth in our two leads and in the other series regulars. At times the introspection can be a bit much, but that’s a minor complaint. I also enjoy how the time period comes to life on the pages. Fans will enjoy this latest outing, and if you haven’t started the series yet, you’ll be glad you did.

Lots of great references to the stories

low immersion for an AR game
Highly buggy app
I looked forward to it but it did not live up to my hopes
I loved the idea of Wizards unite, since I heard of it more than a year ago, unfortunately this does not live up to what it was suggested to be. The story is poorly constructed, the app constantly struggles with interactions. The items you encounter are negligible most of the time and not worth collecting.
Seeing ingress and pokemon go from Niantic I hope this would be at least a passable harry potter experience, unfortunately it has made me free less special than I did before I got it.

This is another great book, I could have finished it earlier than I did but I had to put it down. This book is amazing, it makes you cry, scream, and want to throw the book around. Only a few books have ever made me want to throw the book around and cry at the same time.

It has a good plot and some great characters that you fall in love with and truly care about. I had to take a break from reading but that didn't keep my mind from constantly thinking about the characters and what would happen next.

But I will warn you, it is a book that is very hard to stop reading. It keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next page.

I loved the character development in this book, especially between Dalton and Casey. This was the main thing that kept me reading more. (1 more)
The mystery of who did what kept me guessing unlike a lot of other books. I even took notes and STILL made an incorrect deduction! I loved the surprising twist of who committed the crimes.
The book, as a whole was incredibly fascinating and always threw something in to put you on the wrong track if you're trying to figure out who did what. The idea of someone maybe doing one thing but something not adding up to make that correct always kept me wanting more. I particularly loved the dynamic between Dalton and Casey and I was constantly thinking that they should just get together already! I read the second book but restarted the whole series after taking a long break (evidently too long). I would definitely recommend this series to any bookworm that loves mysteries and thrillers.
