"Agnes Sharp and the Trip of a Lifetime" is a continuation of the lives of Agnes and her cohorts, the fellow residents of. Sunset Hall. I don't normally seek out cozy mysteries but I can't resist the premise of these quirky and endearing characters stumbling into mysteries in their sunset years. I am officially an Agnes fan! I would recommend the Agnes books for lovers of cozy mysteries and fans of the Peg and Rose mystery series. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.

I was really pleased to see there was a second instalment of Agnes Sharp.
In book 2, Agnes and friends ( the residents of Sunset Hall ) head to Cornwall on a trip, but things get complicated when Agnes witnesses a murder. As more bodies surface Agnes, drawing on her background in law enforcement, takes charge of the investigation. Another delightful easy read.
Highly recommended for lovers of a cosy mystery read filled with a colourful cast of characters.

I fell in love with Agnes Sharp and her kookie housemates in the first book in the series. It was a pleasure to follow her further exploits. One of their group has won a free trip to a coastal resort. Agnes and her friends decide to make it a group trip.

But things begin to go wrong once they arrive. Agnes witnesses a murder on the path leading to the resort. Or did she? Other bodies begin to fall. Then the resort is isolated as the roads are washed out. Because of her background in law enforcement, Agnes convinces the resort manager that she should head up the investigation.

Agnes is emerging as one of my favorite detectives. I love the author's use of dry humor. The characters are fun. And the mysteries are well-thought out and developed. I highly recommend this series.

I wish I could have enjoyed this more! Despite the jaw-dropping number of deaths in this mystery, I didn't find that I cared very much. I liked the first Agnes Sharp, but was distracted sometimes by the ancillary characters' journeys. This book is that, with more emphasis on the side paths, and I found it tough to follow the mystery.

Second in the Agnes Sharp series, this is just as clever and engaging, Instead of the POV of a tortoise (who is hibernating) we have a white snake. Also the POV of several human characters, including Agnes herself. The housemates have decamped to an eco-tourist hotel on the British coast because their heater is broken, and this provides an interesting setup for a series of murders. Agnes isn't quite as sharp as she was in the previous book; she appears to be losing her faculties yet is still able to piece together the puzzle. The wacky set of characters from Sunset Hall are joined by new ones including a frightened young man and a vengeful widow. An intriguing read.

This is such a great series featuring an elderly team of crime solvers (who also all live together in one house, seems like a great option for retirement?). I was excited to read the next installment, and I found it actually funnier than the first one. The characters' relationships are very realistic and endearing. You can understand why they annoy each other and truly feel as if you are a part of the whole dynamic.

This installment of the series finds the crew traveling to a romantic getaway. Different characters act as narrators, although Agnes is the protagonist. Some of the side stories are so funny - the influencer in a wardrobe might have been my favorite (I won't say more to avoid spoilers)- but they don't detract from the overall mystery as it all comes together nicely in the end, but not too smoothly as to feel like the author is cheating.

Can't wait to read the next book in the series!
