The protagonist, an aging Brit TV star is invited home to her family&#8217;s estate for a murder mystery party&#8211;of all things. Her brother and friend have set this up to take her mind off losing her longtime TV crime series show. The beginning was a bit slower than I like. Mary Blake wallowed a bit longer than I thought necessary but I perservered and was not disappointed! An interesting setting, outrageous but believable characters and a good plot! I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more. I hope Inspector Corrigan will be appearing again!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/review\/list\/689372-lyn\">View all my reviews<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3CSRc5j\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B07NDGHVDZ&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=lyco-20&amp;language=en_US\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=lyco-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;l=li3&amp;o=1&amp;a=B07NDGHVDZ\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/>\\<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3CSRc5j\">Click here<\/a> for more info.
