Murder at the Royal Ruby

Average rating3.2
1.5 stars and barely even that. A boring “mystery” in name only. I felt zero connection to any of the characters and didn't really care about the protagonist. This felt thoroughly phoned in, which I'm slowly starting to realize is probably the case with the whole Amazon Original Stories thing in general.
Not bad but not particularly memorable, it feels like I've read this story many times before.
Dit was een geweldig klein kortverhaal!
Vanaf het begin slaagde het erin de theateromgeving over te brengen en ik kon de roodfluwelen stoelen bijna voelen. Met slechts een paar woorden voelden de personages echt aan. De schrijfstijl was dus echt geweldig. Het enige wat dit naar beneden haalde was het einde. Het was gewoon te flauw voor de betoverende omgeving die was gecreëerd.

I stumbled into this book at 4 in the morning after scrolling on kindle and finding Minka Kent’s book in this collection. I figured I’d just read them all in order. I’m not disappointed with this read. I love second-guessing myself in murder mysteries, it makes it fun and if the rest of Nita’s books are like this then I look forward to reading more from this author.
