Murder in a Chelsea Garden

Me and Posie Parker have had some up and downs.

I liked the start but then I feel a bit excluded, Posie makes notes and direct Scotland Yard to do things sort of off page and I don't get to see the clues.

The author tries to be a bit floral at times and it feels off every time. We've been told that it's a hot summers day, having an ice Popsicle for lunch is needed and then someone falls “on the cold, cold floor.”

Was the series always this dark and depressing? Dolly is drunk and sad and is there a single joke in this book? Been awhile since I read this series but there were jokes in it at the start?

And then the ending... it's back, no... we really need to kill off that Count, I hate that whole story line, at least it's not the whole book this time.And I need to know what happened to the cat.

2,5 stars but round up
