Gosh! Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy the book.
I can only say "ditto" to Godfrey! You had me at Exhibit 1. I love Agatha Christie, Poirot, and Miss Marple. Does Irene ever get to sleep here?

Thank you, Miriam 👍 I can’t spill the beans on Irene’s sleeping habits, but as it’s 22:40, I’m off to bed. 😴

A lock room mystery that takes place in an isolated manor sounds great! You got me by mentioning the resemblance to Agatha Christie. She is one of my favorite authors! I also love lock room mysteries, and the book sounds intriguing. That it is well researched and well edited is another plus. I will add it to my reading list. Thank you for the review!

Such a creative review! Love it!
I really like Agatha Christie and although, I suck at solving mysteries I have so much fun with this books.
The characters sound quirky and interesting and the plot engaging but not too dark. Plus, I love learning new words.
Thanks for a great review!

Okay, WOW, that has to be the BEST most entertaining review I have ever read. The way you incorporated exhibits, a closing statement, verdict, and then to top it off "The defense rests". I will meet you in the library to acquire and read a copy of this book. Thank you so very much for such an amazing review!!

Sounds like a very interesting read. I enjoy watching Detective Conan manga series but have not read such genre. I guess this one sounds exciting to read as it is exciting to watch detective series.

This is a very finely written review. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Agatha Christie is one of my favourite authors so I think I will enjoy reading this book which you have described as Agatha Christie at her most devious. Well done!

Enthralled by your review.. Thanks for making this so interesting! Now, about the book.. Well I am a fan of Agatha Christie and this kind of whodunnit stories since childhood, so it is kind of a given that I am going to read it. But the other 'exhibits' appeal to me as well, for example, the character of Malory himself, his relation with his sidekick, and the possibility of solving a previously unsolved case. It can not get any better, I guess!
