My book is being shipped. So hopefully I can pick it up Tuesday.

[Jackie]

I will probably start this one this weekend.

[Kirsten]

Same.

[Janeylou]

Started this morning
The murder happened 10 yrs ago so flashbacks to then , but Jem trying to solve it but we dont know whats happened yet 😠😠😠..i like to know what im dealing with

[Janeylou]

I love it when books use real streets ..Toms Hill Road looks gorgeous ( google street view) and you talking of up & over £1,000, 000

The pond & pub mentioned are still there as well 😀

[Kirsten]

I love this one—the flashbacks don’t bother me, but I’m not usually a fan.

I think it’s well put together. The letter opener is nice.

[Janeylou]

Im itching to go to the back of the book and see who did it 😁😄

[Janeylou]

Well , my guess is (view spoiler)[The master , Dr Earnshaw and jem gets a job at uni and stays with Nicky (hide spoiler)]

[Kirsten]

I know who it is... but only because I read it before. It was not at all who I thought until the very end, and definitely not for the reason I expected.

I'm nearly through the reread.

[Jackie]

I started.

[Janeylou]

Im at 70% ..Aaron has just come to see Jem ...

[Janeylou]

I know exactly how Jem is feeling ..im just going round everyone thinking it could be them 😄😄😄
I hope its not nicky

[Janeylou]

So is Jem not so much bothered about who killed Toby but more wants the letters to stop , which is obviously a different person and cant think who that could be either

[Jackie]

I like Nicky most. Toby was a louse.

[Jackie]

90% (view spoiler)[I wonder if Nicky didn’t actually kill Toby but someone came along after he left and finished him off. Hugo? (hide spoiler)]

[Janeylou]

Im not looking Jackie , just had to pop out and fetch hubby home and pnly got 1 chapter ..ish to read

[MN Lisa, Mistress of Mayhem with a Method]

I can start this next week.

[Janeylou]

Finished ..a very abrupt ending , i like a little epilogue to see how everyone is getting on .

Im not sure about the ending 🤔🤔, will duscuss when weve all finished

[Jackie]

Finished. (view spoiler)[ I found the ending to be highly satisfactory. I really didn't want Nicky to be punished. It sounded like self defense anyway but as a gay man, he would have been found guilty anyway, more than likely. (hide spoiler)]

[Kirsten]

I love the twistiness of the end and feel like justice was served. I agree an epilogue would be nice, but I assume it will all work out for everyone.
