A Manor of Life and Death by Kim M Watt
Date read: 5th April 2024
My rating: 5*
Genre I reckon: Chaos Mystery
Buy link: Amazon
Phew! Thank goodness for the comforts of chaos Kim M Watt brings. I was in a reading slump, and needed a break from the romance section (*gasp*). Happily, I realised that I'd missed some Beaufort Scales books. They can be read as stand-alones, so it didn't overly matter that I read this out of order, although some things make more sense if you do.
The WI and the dragons decide to go on a spa weekend, dragging DI Adams along with them. Lovely country manor house. "Yoghurt" (yoga). What could go wrong?
Oh, you're new to this series, perhaps? Answer; only everything. LOL.
Fighting staff, dismal finances and a whole heap of shady guests. Throw in some protestors and many magickal folk, and you have even more chaos than usual. But whodunnit?
Poor DI Adams!
I thoroughly enjoyed this mayhem. It's more chaos mystery than cosy mystery, I reckon. It's like whack-a-mole - deal with one problem and someone else sticks their nose in. And although it gets rowdy, there's no graphic violence or swearing.
There is, fortunately, always a good supply of cake to get through it all.
Suddenly, my life feels a lot easier!?
I can't recommend this series enough, especially if you want a good laugh.
