I'm so happy that earlier this year I discovered this fabulous series, as this latest instalment is fabulous.
This is one of the most unlikely mystery circumstances I have come across. I loved it.
Let's face its its not often you get six people all invited to a funeral, where none of them has ever heard of the deceased, nor to do they know of their connection to him or each other. Much less given 24 hours to try and work it out, while put up in a hotel in the depths of Wales!
But that is exactly what happens in this book and Mary is one of the chosen ones. Interlinked with the chapters about this motley group of strangers, we get a far more serious story, that is told in short instalments - and even that it takes a long while to get any sort of connection to what is happening.
I found the sections in the past fascinating, and also at times a bit harrowing as just what went on, but it also sounded quite realistic and clearly had been researched.
There are many funny moments and Mary is still as food obsessed as ever. But yet this can easily be read as s standalone, there are nods to some of the other books but even the ones I hadn't read I didn't feel it was an issue.
This is just one mad cap 24 hours in Wales with an interesting mystery and a bit of a surprise too. And based on the the notes at the end of the book, there will be more from all the others invited to the funeral with Mary in a future book which I can't wait to read!
Thank you to Bernice Bloom for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.
