mistress of the art of death series up till now was excellent beautifully written and Diana Bishop suited the tone of the story perfectly . Unfortunately although this book does let you hear what happened next to all those fantastic characters from the series , I found this a struggle to get passed the infatuation of love interested annoying and drawn out before even got to investigation into story . No where nearly original fast paced tumble into story and interesting details of an investigative mind .

Disappointing

Not a patch on previous novels. How I miss hearing Diana Bishop narrating. The difficulty with accents was off putting. There were some iffy plot moments, as well as some iffy time line issues. I kept listening but near the end was willing it to be over. Very sad.

The originals are a real guilty pleasure for me so I was excited to see another one that would tie up some loose ends. What I liked about them was that the murderer wasn’t immediately obvious. This book plods along in quite a 2D way and I guessed the murderer the moment we met them. Then it ends suddenly like it just gave up. This book ties the characters up but in a really boring way that just left me feeling a bit disappointed. It just justified the writing of the prequel by Samantha Norton that wasn’t very interesting and a bit disjointed. I wasn’t that into the narrator either. If the narrator is going to change then I think they should pronounce the names the same at the very least.

Predictable
