Synopsis

The year is rapidly drawing to an end, Hettie the tortoise is hibernating and Agnes, Charlie, Marshall, and the other elderly residents of Sunset Hall are going stir-crazy at home. They’ve had enough of the broken boiler, drafty bedrooms, and Christmas jingles on the radio. And to top it off, another series of murders is rocking the hamlet of Duck End. It seems like every villager and his dog is trying to make up for all of the thwarted murders of the past thirty years.

Most unpleasant! The residents of Sunset Hall don’t want anything to do with the criminal activities. So when Edwina manages to sneak onto Marshall’s computer and promptly wins a stay in an exclusive coastal hotel in Cornwall, the Sunset Hall crew doesn’t waste any time in deciding to join her. After all, Edwina can’t be left unsupervised.

But they’ve barely unpacked their bags when Agnes sees something unsettling: two figures in hoods walk away from the hotel along the cliffs, but only one returns. Worried she’s witnessed a murder, Agnes tells the others. At first nobody really believes her—the crew has enough to do working their way through the incredible menu, exploring the hotel’s wellness landscape, navigating old and new love affairs and adopting a boa constrictor. But when the hotel ends up isolated from the outside world after a storm, it becomes clear that a murderer really is on the loose—and they’re trapped, just like the other guests!

Fortsetzung von "Mord in Sunset Hall" Diese Fortsetzung hätte ich beinahe verpasst, denn das Cover sieht so völlig anders aus als das von Band 1: Mord in Sunset Hall. Das neue gefällt mir auch ehrlich gesagt überhaupt nicht und ich weiß auch nicht, was der Hund darauf zu suchen hat (auch wenn nebenh......more

3 ½ stars I was better prepared this time for the type of story I would be getting with this 2nd book in the “Agnes Sharp” series, and consequently, enjoyed it more. Not surprisingly, the story was a complete farce, but that is exactly what I expected it to be. I think one really needs to be in the m......more

Goodreads review by Neil on March 10, 2024

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 the......more

Goodreads review by Yamini on September 18, 2024

This is the second book following the same cast of characters from 'The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp'. A book that I swear by as cozy old detective mystery, one can read over and over. This time the house mates have decided to go on a little trip to avoid the freezing discomforts. But, wherever they......more
