Review: Montgomery Bonbon #3: Mystery at the Manor
Montgomery Bonbon is finally get her mystery set in a mysterious set-far-away-from-things mansion!
🥰 I love that we don’t just have one easy mystery, oh no, the culprits all have something to hide and they are all crooks which make their morals a bit more on the other side than we normally have. It was great fun to figure out the mystery/whodunnit + get to know the characters and what makes them tick along the way.
🥰 The fact that this one took place in a mansion located in a place not that close to everything. I always love love love a good mystery taking place in a big old mansion with secret passages, secrets, rooms upon rooms with clues, and more.
🥰 The treasure hunt/the who will find the jewel? was a lot of fun to read as well and I loved that we got the clues as well and could also think about what it could possibly be!
🥰 Seeing Bonnie switch between Montgomery and herself! I just find it hilarious how no one ever guesses that there is a little girl in the suit, I mean, to me as the reader it is obvious, so I would love to enter the world and see if it is a better disguise in the world of Montgomery Bonbon.
🥰 I loved how Bonnie HAD, yes HAD to do a grand scene to unveil the culprit in the drawing room! She was even getting frustrated that NO ONE seemed to understand the importance of it. Haha, but I got it girl! I understand!
🥰 I am still a fan of Bonnie’s grandfather. I love how supportive he is of his granddaughter and doesn’t mind helping out!
🥰 I loved the various characters we met, from the explosive Naomi to the magical Daniel and the always around housekeeper, Mrs Muggins. Everyone was so interesting.
🥰 The monkeys were so cute and they made me laugh so much because of the chaos they brought along. Though I also felt sad for them because their owner was murdered right in front of them, those poor critters.
🥰 The cover and the illustrations! I just love Claire Powell’s art and I am happy to get so many of them. The style is just so fun.
🥰 I am so so hoping that those mysteries we fleetingly read about in the beginning before the bigger mystery will be actually written and come out as novellas, or maybe just one big book with all of them!
🤔 Of course, why not, Inspector Sands is there again… sighs I don’t like this character at all. Maybe if they were a bit more competent, but now, just go away.
🤔 Not sure about Dana. I know I said I liked her in the previous book and wanted more of her. But in this one I just found it quite rude how she forced herself in the mystery along with how she acted like she knew it all better. Not a fan of know-it-all characters, those are never my fav.
But all in all, I desperately need more of this series! I would highly recommend it to all!
