Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2504 KP) rated A Peach of a Murder (A Fresh-Baked Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
The annual peach festival is coming and Phyllis is hoping she can finally beat her friend and roommate in the backing festival. However, she gets distracted when some murders start happening. I didn't like the characters, the plot was bad, and the writing was distracting.

This book takes the characters to New York City where they find fairy tale characters living in hiding. While they try to heal a friend, they get involved in a murder. This series may be for kids, but I just love the creativity each book shows.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2504 KP) rated Murder Uncorked (A Wine Lover's Mystery, #1) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Nikki Sands takes a new job at a Napa Valley winery and finds a dead body on her first day. The plot was entertaining until the weak ending, but none of the characters came alive for me. And the writing style was weak as well.

Classic Christie
One of the best Agatha Christie films to be made! Featuring an all star cast this is a timeless classic that has inspired many other films, Identity and House on Haunted hill spring to mind. If you like a good murder mystery or are a fan of Agatha Christie check this out, now known in the UK as And then there were none.
Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2504 KP) rated Evan Help Us (Constable Evans, #2) in Books
Mar 9, 2018
Rumors that Camelot is just outside of the village and plans to build an amusement park lead to murder, and Constable Evans is right in the middle of it again. The characters grow better and the plot is just as interesting as the first book.

Mar 9, 2018
The idea of moving the Arts Festival downtown stirs up trouble, including arson and murder. Can Abby get her feet under her running a new business and solve the crime? I liked the characters and setting, but the plot was a little rough.

Cece's first biography is being turned into a film. As she is coaching the star on Dashiel Hammett, he is distracted by a murder. What has Cece stumbled into this time? The characters and plot were great, with shades of a Dashiel Hammett story.

What would you do if you found out your dead wife was already married and that it was murder? John Sims plays an excellent part in this gripping series of love, betrayal and mystery.

AT (1676 KP) rated Black Butler, Vol. 26 (Black Butler, #26) in Books
Nov 17, 2019
Coming off of the odd music hall storyline, Ciel and Sebastian finally return home. However, they return home to find a grizzly murder scene inside the Phantomhive estate. A creepy message left at the scene unnerves Ciel, and begins to completely turn the story upside-down. Volume 26 was definitely a welcome change of pace after the music hall episode, which seemed to drag on.
