Work InformationMurder at the Book Club by Betsy Reavley
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. Not too engaging. The multiple characters without being fleshed out didn’t distinguish themselves from each other. Flimsy excuse for being in a book club together. Did read to the end to find out “who dun it.” (  ) bereanna | Oct 21, 2022 |  lilkim714 | Dec 15, 2021 | Red herrings plus with so many potential suspects. Confusing with so many women, similar names. Could not understand why they met weekly when they seemed not to care about each other, no mention of even types of books read. Dislike of Toni and Kim at beginning then dropped too quickly. Felt sorry for Marion trying to get them to be nice to each other. Age differences not taken advantage until ending. Ending did tie loose ends almost together. ( ) kshydog | Dec 13, 2020 | Inconsistencies, hateful people When Toni, a disliked member of a book club, turns up murdered, it's up to the police to solve the crime. When a second book club member turns up dead, however, the police are as baffled as the rest of the frightened remaining book club members. Unfortunately, this book failed to do it for me. I struggled remembering the characters or even determining who the main characters were half the time. Maggie seemed minor, but suddenly became the focus at the end, while Barbara was given a brief scene that ultimately went nowhere. Others were virtually indistinguishable from one another and their personalities seemed to shift. At one point, Amy is saying vicious things to the other women, then suddenly becomes an almost pleasant person. There were also some parts that - despite being written by a woman - felt really sexist. At one point, this is coded into the detective's character, which is fine; characters can, and should be, flawed. But other times it was embedded within the narrative. All in all, a miss for me.

Something bad is brewing among a friendly group of book lovers: "A deliciously Agatha Christie-style mystery that sucks you in from the first page." --Sibel Hodge, bestselling author of Look Behind You Imagine nine women meeting. Tea and cake are on the coffee table. They've come together to share their love of books. They are friends. They trust each other. It's a happy gathering. What could be more harmless? Then scratch the surface and look closer. One is lonely. One is desperate. And one of them is a killer. When the body of a woman is discovered on a Cambridge common, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer are called in to investigate. But the motive behind the crime isn't clear--and it all leads back to a book club. As the lies, volatile friendships, and tension among the group rise to the surface, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer must work out the motive and track down a cold-blooded killer. But just when they think they're on the right track, a twist in the plot throws them off course . . . "Will keep readers guessing till the very end!" --J.A. Baker, bestselling author of The Other Mother "A deliciously devilish whodunit!" --Robert Bryndza, bestselling author of the Detective Erika Foster series No library descriptions found. |
