A Stand Alone that I wished that I’d left alone。 I’ve not read this series before。 If you haven’t either， don’t start with this one！ The prologue is random and depressing， perhaps it will make sense when the conclusion is reached。 I’m afraid that I didn’t make it to that point。 As for the tale， it says that it’s a standalone。 However， the very frequent references to prior incidents， make it taxing to follow the narrative。 I will persevere with the first book in the series。 Hopefully it doesn’t d A Stand Alone that I wished that I’d left alone。 I’ve not read this series before。 If you haven’t either， don’t start with this one！ The prologue is random and depressing， perhaps it will make sense when the conclusion is reached。 I’m afraid that I didn’t make it to that point。 As for the tale， it says that it’s a standalone。 However， the very frequent references to prior incidents， make it taxing to follow the narrative。 I will persevere with the first book in the series。 Hopefully it doesn’t drag like this one… 。。。more

Great feel good novelI enjoyed this book because it is written from a teenagers point of view。 The characters are people I might like to spend time with - without the murders of course。 I always think I know who did it and I'm always wrong。 I have read the whole series and， being a teacher， enjoyed those with the school as the setting。 Read them all - the never disappoint。 Great feel good novelI enjoyed this book because it is written from a teenagers point of view。 The characters are people I might like to spend time with - without the murders of course。 I always think I know who did it and I'm always wrong。 I have read the whole series and， being a teacher， enjoyed those with the school as the setting。 Read them all - the never disappoint。 。。。more

Really a 3-。I love this kind of mystery， and I liked the setting and the idea of the teen-aged narrator， but I was disappointed in this book。 Quirky fun characters are often highlights of this kind of book， but most of these did not come alive， even as caricatures。The denouement， the most important part， was the most disappointing。 I just did not see why the murderer was so inspired to gather these people and commit the crimes。 In addition， I did not see the solution as one an astute reader woul Really a 3-。I love this kind of mystery， and I liked the setting and the idea of the teen-aged narrator， but I was disappointed in this book。 Quirky fun characters are often highlights of this kind of book， but most of these did not come alive， even as caricatures。The denouement， the most important part， was the most disappointing。 I just did not see why the murderer was so inspired to gather these people and commit the crimes。 In addition， I did not see the solution as one an astute reader would have discovered。My feeling reminds me of my reaction to the two Izzy Palmer books I have read---they had a lot of promise and then disappointed me， althought for different reasons。 I had not read any other books in this series， but I am not inspired to read them now。PS Probably the best part of the book was the Afterword， in which the author reports his research into holiday traditions。 That was great！ 。。。more

What a treatI purposely read this book slowly because I didn't want it to end。 The Lord Edgington books have become a favorite of mine。 How am I going to wait until 2022 for the next book？Bravo！ What a treatI purposely read this book slowly because I didn't want it to end。 The Lord Edgington books have become a favorite of mine。 How am I going to wait until 2022 for the next book？Bravo！ 。。。more

I don't know what I love the most about this series。 The characters are always rich and engaging。 The settings are so inviting and immersive that you ache to be there。 And the mysteries。。。。I am just in awe of how it all comes together in such a fun and surprising fashion with each installment。 Each one is unique， yet each one is equally well thought out and executed。 I had suspicions with previous Lord Edgington novels that we were witnessing an author stepping into his own while also stepping o I don't know what I love the most about this series。 The characters are always rich and engaging。 The settings are so inviting and immersive that you ache to be there。 And the mysteries。。。。I am just in awe of how it all comes together in such a fun and surprising fashion with each installment。 Each one is unique， yet each one is equally well thought out and executed。 I had suspicions with previous Lord Edgington novels that we were witnessing an author stepping into his own while also stepping out and making his arrival firmly known。 With The Mystery of Mistletoe Hall， I have all the proof I need that Benedict Brown deserves a place at the top next to the best the genre has to offer。 He's that good， and somehow he continues to get better。 Fantastic。 I received an advance copy and this is my honest review。 。。。more

Another super mystery in one of my favorite series， which takes place in the 1920s and features Lord Edgington， former police chief， and his grandson， now （at age 17） a young man who is gaining in his ability to learn from clues。 They are invited by an old police commissioner friend of Lord Edgington to a Christmas gathering at a manor house in the country， but upon arrival all is silent and deserted – and the commissioner is found dead outside。 Various people turn up， mostly unknown to each oth Another super mystery in one of my favorite series， which takes place in the 1920s and features Lord Edgington， former police chief， and his grandson， now （at age 17） a young man who is gaining in his ability to learn from clues。 They are invited by an old police commissioner friend of Lord Edgington to a Christmas gathering at a manor house in the country， but upon arrival all is silent and deserted – and the commissioner is found dead outside。 Various people turn up， mostly unknown to each other， and there's the rub – who really invited them， and why， and who is behind those murder attempts during their stay？ The book is not only a good story， but has the wonderful dry humor – in fact， some LOL humor too – as the previous books which is the perfect foil to the puzzling and suspenseful events。 Perfect atmosphere， with a large snowfall locking everyone in the house， people wandering around at night and lots of rooms to explore … and have things happen in …I received an advance copy and freely leave this honest review。 。。。more
