I was delighted to find this next installment in the fun series.
Phyllida Bright is the fictional housekeeper of Agatha Christie and he husband. Those worthies are away in London, but the new neighbors have invited them to a murder at their estate. Agatha asks Phyllida to attend in their stead where what was to be an amateur theatrical ends in a very real fatal stabbing of the host. Let the sleuthing begin! The characters certainly are, the suspects almost seem to multiply, there are plot twists and red herrings galore! Great fun figuring out the culprit!
I requested and received an EARC from Kensington Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

Of course, Agatha Christie's housekeeper is an amateur detective. And when she fills in as a guest at a murder drama, she is on the case when a dead body is found. A delightful read
