Status Updates From Deadly Return (Seacastle #1)

DNF! I don’t really care for the author’s writing style, or the characters come to that. No rating.

When a British author has her (British) protagonist say “I guess” and refers to an autopsy instead of saying: perhaps/maybe/I suppose, Post Mortem etc. along with the Holmes/Sherlock debacle I find myself wondering if I should just DNF. Am I that petty? Yes, yes I am. Menopause is making me really rage-y today. 🤣

“I’m Sherlock. You’re Holmes.”

Huh? I think you mean he is Watson. This is an absolute clanger of a mistake and about sums this book up for me so far. 😬

Although I don’t try to notice plot devices and clues in mystery books, so many of these are transparent: the skills of the characters, the transparent clues then redirection to keep the story going. There’s someone mentioned in the beginning who uses a wheelchair. Waiting for that one to return to the story.
Anyway, I don’t figure I’ll work things out, but enjoying the read.

Didn’t enjoy stopped reading…too English tv.

Quite readable. Although I guess I’ve read so many mysteries I could spot how all the players were going to help the MC solve the mystery. And of course, the computer savvy step son—well, it’s hard to miss how he’ll be helpful in solving the case. I wouldn’t be surprised if the surly cat rescues the MC in the end. The reader’s male voices aren’t so great. So I’m reading the ebook mostly.
