Kingdom of the Blind by Louise Penny

Beth Anne’s first review of the year

really liked it
2024:
I’ve been rereading these on audio lately, and it’s been long enough since my first read that I’ve forgotten a lot of the details, which has made these even more fun. This book isn’t as strong after the previous two, but I loved it as a reread. Noticed she title dropped THE MADNESS OF CROWDS and I just love how she does that in so many books. Again, Penny’s acknowledgments are unmissable. Always read them.

2018:

Beth Anne’s last review of the year

it was amazing
This was such a funny and clever “holiday special” set in the world of Ernest Cunningham. The writing style and feel was consistent with his other books, the meta clue elements were different and well done, and it followed the rules of a fair play mystery eloquently. I also loved that this book was slightly shorter; part of the issue with books set at Christmas is they often suffer from being too long and drawn out, so this was tackled that well. ...more
