A Trace of Poison

⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Wonderful cover on this book!

A Trace of Poison by Colleen Cambridge is the second book in the Phyllida Bright Mystery series and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. The writing remains top notch. I loved the setting and the backdrop of a Murder Fête. It was well paced. The plot was full of twists and turns and red herrings that kept me guessing until the end. The characters remain likable. I love the cleverness of having Agatha Christie be a side character and have her maid be the main “detective”. Just a really enjoyable read and I look forward to see what these characters get up to in book 3!

ARC Via NetGalley

Phyllida is a little too snooty for me I think! But I liked the premise and the inclusion of other mystery authors.
