I binge listened to A Good Girls Guide to Murder series after seeing you recommending it and I absolutely loved it! Also The Thursday Murder Club is so fun and funny, book 3 is coming out in September 😊 Looking forward to reading more by Lucy Foley as well.
I picked up the Thursday Murder Club solely based on your recommendation when you first read it and absolutely loved it! I can't wait to continue on with the series, I'm obsessed
it’s actually a horrible mystery book. im sorry but coming from whodunnits from jk rowling, agatha christie, harlan cobe, moriarty, its really not an intelligent twist
Hii! Thanks so many recommendations! Just wondering... Is there a way to get Book of the Month in the UK? Have always wanted to subscribe but didn't think it was possible...
I am such a fan of Murder on the Orient Express and The Guest List 😍😍 I didn't love Thursday Murder club but after this I feel like I need to give it another try!
Me loving both Thursday murder club and murder on the orient express: I see you are a person of immaculate taste 👌 🔪 Also put the guest list on my tbh hopefully I'll love it
PLZZ CHECK OUT The Wintringham Mystery by Anthony Berkeley Republished for the first time in nearly 95 years, a classic winter country house mystery by the founder of the Detection Club, with a twist that even Agatha Christie couldn't solve! Stephen Munro, a demobbed army officer, reconciles himself to taking a job as a footman to make ends meet. Employed at Wintringham Hall, the delightful but decaying Sussex country residence of the elderly Lady Susan Carey, his first task entails welcoming her eccentric guests to a weekend house-party, at which her bombastic nephew - who recognises Stephen from his former life - decides that an after-dinner seance would be more entertaining than bridge. Then Cicely disappears! With Lady Susan reluctant to call the police about what is presumably a childish prank, Stephen and the plucky Pauline Mainwaring take it upon themselves to investigate. But then a suspicious death turns the game into an altogether more serious affair... This classic winter mystery incorporates all the trappings of the Golden Age - a rambling country house, a seance, a murder, a room locked on the inside, with servants, suspects and alibis, a romance - and an ingenious puzzle. First published as a 30-part newspaper serial in 1926 - the year The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was published, The Wintringham Mystery was written by Anthony Berkeley, founder of the famous Detection Club. Also known as Cicely Disappears, the Daily Mirror ran the story as a competition with a prize of GBP500 (equivalent to GBP30,000 today) for anyone who guessed the solution correctly. Nobody did - even Agatha Christie entered and couldn't solve it. Can you?
Ok, I've added two of your suggestions to my TBR. I started No Exit today and finished it as well so I'm in the mood for more 😂 The last book of The Good Girls Guide to Murder series is on my March TBR.. youve made me even more excited to read it!
The way you described all these books makes me want to read them all right now! I've read Arctic Ave Mystery Book 🔪 I'm really liking it! 😍 Also thanks for all the recommendations I’m really exciting to start reading some!
Appreciate your props! 🧐 Are you reading the Poirot's in the order of publication or how they are timed story-wise? I've thought of (re-)reading them too, but still undecided on the order. 🤔
Just discovered your booktube. Really enjoy your top 10 lists. I wonder if you know of a booktuber who does more hard boiled noir detective books? (Lawrence Block, Dennis LeHane, James Lee Burke types...)
Lucy Foley’s books are just next level good. I love them so much and just the way she can tell a story that sucks you in. It’s perfect. I just finished reading the Paris Apartment a couple days ago and gave it five stars. Absolutely loved it. I think my ranking of the three books that I’ve read from her would have to be The Paris Apartment, The Guest List, and then The Hunting Party. But they’re all very good. Would for sure recommend any of them.
I am a HUGE fan of Agatha Christie and know exactly what you mean. Some I can repeatedly read such as the Murder of Roger Ackroyd and some well once is enough...
Such a great video idea! I LOVE murder mysteries and I think my favourite is appointment with death by Agatha Christie😃I just joined TH-cam and made my first video of a book haul! 😁
yesss The Devil and the Dark Water is so underrated! That book is so good (but agreed, Stuart Turton needs to work on his endings lol). Can't wait to check out a few off this list that I haven't read yet 😊🔪
One by One was my first Ruth Ware read and I loved it but then I was so disappointed by The Lying Game I haven't been able to read any of her other stuff :((
Not a Lucy Foley fan. 🤔 She is to mystery what Riley Sager is to thriller-aspiring to mediocrity in writing with "twists" that even M Night Shyamalan would be embarrased of trying to pass off as "twists". 😏 Agatha Christie is a favorite author of mine. Love the Murder of Roger Ackroyd. My favorite Christie as well as my favorite mystery trope (locked room) is found in the ingenious, Cards on the Table. 😍 Roger Osman's series is very enjoyable and great fun. All 3 have been really good. Anthony Horowitz is a "new favorite " author for me. His authorial tone is the most like Christie to me. I know Ware gets that comparison often (undeserving, imo), but she is No Christie. 🤨 I did like One by One, but normally she is a 3 star or less for me. In the Market for Murder sounds good. I'll have to add it to my TBR. I love a cozy mystery. Murder on the Orient Express is very good as well. Most of the Poirot series is well done, and quite a few in the Marple series are good too. Not a fan of her Tommy and Tupence series, but nobody's perfect. 🤷♀️
@@megwithbooks ALSO, have you seen the new Poirot films? The actor is definitely nothing like i thought he’d be, the old poirot series is for sure my favorite adaptation EVER ! I actually think it would be fun if you read a Poirot mystery book and then watched the episode and let us know what you think :) 💗
ive watched murder on the orient express but not the latest one bc i haven't read the book!! i think that would be suuuuper fun too maybe i'll do it with death on the nile actually!
I'm actually planning on reading mystery books since most of my fav anime characters are smart/ detectives , so I've also heard about "The murder in the Rue Morgue by" Edgar Allan Poe and how good it is , anyways ,thx so much!!
Interesting that you preferred The Devil and The Dark Water to 7 Deaths. I was pretty much the opposite! I thought the pace was lightning fast for the scope (which was much bigger than the first) Agree the ending wasn't the best though.
Ok I have a bone to pick with you…I’ve just finished reading a good girls guide to murder on your recommendation and p326 really could have done with a warning, I am not emotionally capable to handle that #nospoilersjustbrokenhearts #nowyouhavetogobackandlookatp326torememberwhatimtalkingabout I am so excited to continue with the series though!! Thank you for recommending such awesome books, being hilarious and putting a smile on our faces 😄❤️
Also I don’t know if you’ve listened to the audio book of Thursday murder club but it’s 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 chefs kiss plus has little interview with him at the end!
i read death on the nile back in January and was listening along to the 2007 audiobook and enjoyed the murder mystery part but Mrs Christie could be a little racist. the book I have had a lot if it edited out but the audiobook had it in all its glory
how do you guys manage to read hundreds and hundreds of books without getting tired of sitting in position.. i mean having adhd makes it really tough for me to keep my attention to just one thing if it doesnt involve much movement..
I go somewhere i have no distractions to read a book. A forest with bad internet connection. I can then take a walk during the day. I also listen to audiobooks when I am driving my husband to and from work. Yeah, he refuses to learn to drive. I get some days in the city a week, so I do not mind.
I've liked most of these but I would not place the contemporary writers on the same list with Christie. She set the standard and many of these stories are inspired by hers, and comparisons to her are made in the marketing of these offerings. Therefore not appropriate to have Christie on the same list unless as number one.
The Last was a boring read for me - read last year - pretty unforgettable and they just go over the same boring plot markers over and over - do not recommend
I binge listened to A Good Girls Guide to Murder series after seeing you recommending it and I absolutely loved it! Also The Thursday Murder Club is so fun and funny, book 3 is coming out in September 😊 Looking forward to reading more by Lucy Foley as well.
I still need to read the second Thursday Murder club book hahaha! Hoping to get to it asap!
Me too, haha, its waiting on my shelves! Will definitely read it either this month or the next!
I picked up the Thursday Murder Club solely based on your recommendation when you first read it and absolutely loved it! I can't wait to continue on with the series, I'm obsessed
The Guest List is definitely my top murder mystery. You’ve definitely inspired me to read more 🔪
it’s actually a horrible mystery book. im sorry but coming from whodunnits from jk rowling, agatha christie, harlan cobe, moriarty, its really not an intelligent twist
Unfortunately I didn't like it
It was just average
It was ok tbh 😞 wished it was better cuz i was so hyped 😔
Holly Jackson ignores all of our pain collectively BUT DAMN I’ll read everything that woman writes. Chokehold
Hii! Thanks so many recommendations! Just wondering... Is there a way to get Book of the Month in the UK? Have always wanted to subscribe but didn't think it was possible...
I am such a fan of Murder on the Orient Express and The Guest List 😍😍 I didn't love Thursday Murder club but after this I feel like I need to give it another try!
I love that the lady Hardcastle books are getting some duly warranted adoration
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the 3 I’ve read so far
I loved reading A Girls Good Guide to Murder. I NEED to continue with the series.
Yessss omg!!!
„Ruth listen to me“ I agree we need another book like One By One from her.
Me loving both Thursday murder club and murder on the orient express: I see you are a person of immaculate taste 👌 🔪
Also put the guest list on my tbh hopefully I'll love it

The Agatha Christie’s I recommend are Peril at End House, Sleeping Murder, and 4:50 from Paddington!
I've read The Last but I have completely forgotten the ending (maybe suppressed it 😅) now I need to go and look it up again.
to be fair the ending is so out of nowhere that the details of it are kind of forgettable lmao
I’m struggling to finish the paris apartment……I started reading carter Wilson’s ‘ the new neighbor’ I’m loving it.
Ok, I've added two of your suggestions to my TBR. I started No Exit today and finished it as well so I'm in the mood for more 😂 The last book of The Good Girls Guide to Murder series is on my March TBR.. youve made me even more excited to read it!

I'm reading the Thursday Murder Club right now because of you and I'm really liking it!
So excited that you included the Lady Hardcastle series by T.E. Kinsey! One of my favorite series!
Appreciate your props! 🧐 Are you reading the Poirot's in the order of publication or how they are timed story-wise? I've thought of (re-)reading them too, but still undecided on the order. 🤔
i thiiiiink i'm doing publication order? i'm following the series order on goodreads 😊
Just discovered your booktube. Really enjoy your top 10 lists. I wonder if you know of a booktuber who does more hard boiled noir detective books? (Lawrence Block, Dennis LeHane, James Lee Burke types...)
I loved the guest list to I am excited to read the Paris appartment x
I really enjoyed The Last! Not many people have read this book but they should. 😎✌️
The Devil & The Dark Water sounds so good! It's been on my shelf for ages, and I really should pick it up 🔪

I'm so happy about the selections for BOTM this month!! I got The Paris Apartment & The Book of Accidents!
I'm obsessed with your hat :)
I can't wait to read An Unwanted Guest! The tropes in it sound amazingggg.
I can't believe I still haven't read an Agatha Cristie!
I really love A Good Girl's Guide to Murder too!
YES The Guest List is one of my all time favorite books. OMG I am so jealous you got to meet Lucy Foley! Some of the reveals made me SCREAM!
I actually really don’t like The Guest List 😅 🔪
I am excited to get to Good Girls Guide to Murder and I absolutely LOVED Thursday Murder Club!
oop not me taking the guest list off my tbr today and adding it right back after watching this video
None of us predicted one by one 😩

LOL the hat is great
One by One was my first Ruth Ware read and I loved it but then I was so disappointed by The Lying Game I haven't been able to read any of her other stuff :((
Loved your recommendations and love your voice and energy. You are so pretty :)
19:00 .. it's true for me .. i love "then there were none" .. but i didn't quite liked "Orient express" 😅
I haveThe Guest List on my nightstand right now and am SO excited 💗🤗
For the devil and the dark water; is there like demonic stuff in the book? you said symbols appear? could you elaborate a bit?

I’m not a Lucy Foley fan either.
I like the fun way you present these books. Very fun. I feel most booktubers come off being too serious or come off as pretentious or something.
Loved this video, haven’t read any of this books yet as I’m new to mystery’s and thrillers but some of these are defo on my list!
so many of these would be great for beginners!!
🔪 Please do a video on your favorite mysteries in general! Also have you read any Sherlock Holmes?
Should I read all of these and rank them too?…… hmmmm much to think about bestie
oooooooh omg that would be so much fun hahaha
@@megwithbooks ALSO, have you seen the new Poirot films? The actor is definitely nothing like i thought he’d be, the old poirot series is for sure my favorite adaptation EVER !

Just read An Unwanted Guest based on your recommendation and loved it! ❤
can u give me a quick summary abt it please?
Interesting that you preferred The Devil and The Dark Water to 7 Deaths.
I was pretty much the opposite! I thought the pace was lightning fast for the scope (which was much bigger than the first) Agree the ending wasn't the best though.
Meg, can you do an all time fave mysteries?
Lady Hardcastle series are humorous cute mysteries.
This is perfect timing…I just finished Pride & Premeditation and I’m on a hunt…all I want to read now are Murder Mysteries
ooooh i'm so excited to read that one!!!
Yesss love good girls guide to murder is so good 😩
I’m hoping to get A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and Devil and the Dark Water from my library soon!!
Ok I have a bone to pick with you…I’ve just finished reading a good girls guide to murder on your recommendation and p326 really could have done with a warning, I am not emotionally capable to handle that #nospoilersjustbrokenhearts #nowyouhavetogobackandlookatp326torememberwhatimtalkingabout I am so excited to continue with the series though!!

I suggest I Hunt Killer series... So enthralling 🔪🔪
Great video!
So many additions to the TBR!!!!! 🔪
Have you read The Chalet by Catherine Cooper? I loved that one and it’s a closed circle, isolated, murder mystery 😍😍 🔪

A bit disappointed. Clicked your link only to find that BOTM don't ship outside of the USA.
(Ignore)
The devil and dark water
7 deaths
Paris apartment
One by one
Thursday murder club
Me watching this video having loved both murder on the orient express and and then there were none 👁👄👁
🔪
I am going to start reading The Guest List tonight.
🔪 Just found you! Love your recs!
i read death on the nile back in January and was listening along to the 2007 audiobook and enjoyed the murder mystery part but Mrs Christie could be a little racist. the book I have had a lot if it edited out but the audiobook had it in all its glory
Hi l x reading thrillers with twists and turns that a good plat interesting characters x Malcolm
how do you guys manage to read hundreds and hundreds of books without getting tired of sitting in position.. i mean having adhd makes it really tough for me to keep my attention to just one thing if it doesnt involve much movement..
You can try listening to audiobooks while doing chores or other stuff :)
I have the same issue but you can always have both audiobook with the pdf while drawing, walking etc!!! Or change positions constantly
I go somewhere i have no distractions to read a book. A forest with bad internet connection. I can then take a walk during the day. I also listen to audiobooks when I am driving my husband to and from work. Yeah, he refuses to learn to drive. I get some days in the city a week, so I do not mind.
Great list! 👍🏻

Why all of these books are so expensive in India
Girl, no hate, but you may need to read And Then There Were None again because One by One is absolutely a retelling.
Lovely video🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I read 1/2 of the guest list then gave up - was boring 🤷🏻♀️
Meg, you and I seem to have varying opinions on these mysteries 😆 I disliked a few of these sadly
The Last was a boring read for me - read last year - pretty unforgettable and they just go over the same boring plot markers over and over - do not recommend
The ending of the last ruined it
Girl read and then there were none! Best Agatha Christie book you’ll love it!
th-cam.com/video/OnAAuJUZ9zE/w-d-xo.html
