I did not see that ending coming at all, Agatha Christie is indeed the queen of crime. I was guessing and second guessing who the murderer was the whole way through, and thought that I would never get to find out who the murderer was since the epilogue was in the police's POV after the bodies were discovered and they were just as stumped as the reader was. I can't wait to read more of Christie's works, one book in and she has proven what a fabulous writer she is with her plots alone.

An adorable short story taking place a year after Two Wrongs Make a Right and where Jamie and Bea end up.

Their engagement was done in a very typical Bea and Jamie fashion where nothing went to plan. But it was so cute and I'm glad that we find out a year down the road they are still happily together.

A cute, corny romance book based off of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. I maybe wanted a little more parallels between the original play and this book, but what was given was good. It was fun, lighthearted, and cheesy in all the right ways. But the best part was how inclusive this book is. Not only did the author give us Neurodivergent characters, but was also LGBTQ+ and represented both well. 

The only negatives I would have to give is the break up between Bea and Jamie (I refuse to call him West, I agree with Bea; he is such a Jamie) was a little strange a last minute like it was put in there on a whim for one last bit of drama. There really wasn't a need for them to break up, one of the points of a romance book is for the romance and the cheesy-ness. Other than that the only other thing was I wished there were a few more parallels with Much Ado About Nothing. Its not a Shakespeare play unless there is drama and someone fake dying. But I do give the author props for the originality. 

Wow, my heart hurts. That was a great plot and much better than some of the books in the middle of the series. But then this is also one of the very last books in this series and I hate to see it end. Qui-Gon reminiscing about all Obi-Wan has learned during his apprenticeship was so sad, knowing what happens next. 

While this was another great book in this trilogy, I found it a tiny bit predictable. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t incredibly enjoyable. All the characters, the good and the bad, were well written and could understand the decisions that they made. I am very excited for the third and final book in this trilogy as this book was a great set up for what I hope is a great conclusion. 

From the very first chapter this was an action packed book. It was fast paced and so much fun, getting to be reunited with beloved characters and also meeting new ones. I loved every moment of this book, most of all the mentions of pervious books and all the adventures that happened before. I can’t wait to continue this series and see how the plot plays out. 

That was certainly an adventure which was made even more fun by Jim Dale’s narration. I would certainly recommend listening to this book instead of reading it since the words can come across as dry and to the point, much like Phileas Fog himself. It is thanks to the incredible narration that brings these characters to life and the fun sound effects and songs that begin each chapter that made this book even more enjoyable. If you need a book about a quick adventure and a lot of chaos mixed in, this is certainly the perfect book!
