After reading some of the reviews, I was skeptical that I would not like this book. I have not read this series before and it is always difficult to start in the middle. While there were references I'm sure would have made more sense had i read the rest of the books, I was still able to thoroughly enjoy this cozy mystery. I will agree with others that the mystery part is not a large part of the book, however the humorous tone of the book more than makes up for the lack of mystery throughout. I enjoyed the main character, Ellie, and will definitely start at the beginning of this charming series. I received this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. ( ) I have read other books in this series, and found them somewhat enjoyable. But no matter how hard I tried, I could not get into this one. By the time I got to 2/3rds of the way through, I could care less what happens anymore, as nothing has happened so far... I cannot finish this book, either. I don't know if I will read any more of this series, unless the author actually does something with these wacky characters. I hope you liked the book better than me. What can I say about author Dorothy Cannell’s Ellie Haskell series that hasn’t been said before. Jump in anywhere, and then go back to the beginning and read them all. Goodbye, Ms. Chips is the twelfth book in the series, and every bit as outrageous and entertaining as the first. Although Ellie has come a long way from her insecure, pudgy young self, hearing, “The headmistress wants to see you,” still strikes terror in her heart. Of course there is a mystery and a murder and any number of outlandish things that will happen to Ellie and those around her. And there’s also her sweet husband Ben and the twins and little Rose. You’ll laugh out loud, you’ll fear for Ellie’s safety and you’ll be confounded trying to solve the mystery but most of all you’ll be thoroughly satisfied when you’re done reading. I’ve been a huge fan of this series since The Thin Woman, the first in this delightful series. Should be required reading. This was my first book written by Dorothy Cannell. I enjoyed it. It was a light easy read full of just enough twists and turns to throw you off the scent of the real killer and thief. Goodbye, Ms. Chips has Ellie going back to her old boarding school to try and solve the case of the missing trophy. She really had a hard time at boarding school and was not looking forward to going back especially seeing Headmistress Mrs. Battle! I don't know about you but I know I wouldn't want to go back to school especially if I had to meet up with the girl who bullied me! YIKES poor Ellie. At least she is able to feel like she can find some retribution and find the thief and killer. This book is definitely at an easy pace so it's not hard to keep up. I would have liked to have read the earlier books to find out more history on the character Ellie. I recieved this book from NetGalley for an honest review. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
