[whats-in-a-sentence]

After two fencers were attacked on Ravensworth, Lowe's men tied a rope round the neck of a captive Wonnarua man and forced him up a tree.

He was directed to crawl to the extremity of a bough of the Tree, when he had done this, he was commanded to tie the rope tight to the branch; the other end being fast round his neck, this he did, and sat crouched and trembling on the tree:— One then fired at him, wounded him; another fired and wounded him again; a volley was then discharged at him which knocked him off and left him suspended by the neck on the tree!

The Wonderland Murders by Millie Ravensworth

Rating: ❤️❤❤❤❤

(this book got one out of five because I love the cover and the concept was good BUT the book itself was very badly written, spelling errors and the Anne Frank fancy dress costume was just so wrong)

Cozy Craft Mystery Series by Millie Ravensworth

This a general review so I will talk about the series and about the single instalments.

I love cosy mystery and have been reading them since I read the first Lilian Jackson Braun and was involved in mysteries featuring a quant town, lovely pets, and amateur detective/detective. My taste evolved and now, after years and a huge number of series I read, I’m quite spoiled and I know when I am going to love a series after a few pages. The Cosy Craft Mysteries were one of those series that are a lot of fun and solid mysteries. Penny, Izzy and the characters grew on me page after page, and I was fascinated by the descriptions of the fabrics and the tips and tricks of professional sewing. My sewing skill are very basic, but I always wanted to be like Izzy: creative, with a lot of skill in a manual craft, and a lovely person. Penny is more logical and business like, I wasn’t convinced at the beginning, but she grew on me. This a general review so I will talk about the series and about the single instalments.

The Wonderland Murders is a good start for a cosy series: even if it introduces places and characters it’s quite fast paced and there’s always something going and keeping your attention alive. I liked the solid mstery as it kept me guessing and surprised me with the twists. There’s a lot of culprits as the victim is not very likeable. I appreciated how the author described the bully and how you couldn’t help feeling for the women.

The Painted Lobster Murders is the second book in the series, a highly entertaining and compelling story since the first pages. We meet Monty the dog, a lovely character I loved. This is another solid and compelling mystery. There’s a lot going on in Penny and Izzy life and they’re developing business and managing the shop as Nan took the backseat. A fast paced and solid mystery that I thoroughly enjoyed and kept me guessing. My only note: I hate love triangle, it’s my cosy mystery pet peeve, and hope it will be solved soon

The Sequinned Cape Murders is the third in the series and I enjoyed it even if it’s not my favorite.. There’s more sewing than mystery but it’s also the one with Izzy under the spotlight and I thoroughly enjoyed this change. There’s romance, there’s another good mystery and the usual suspects.

The Swan Dress Murders is the fourth book in the series: another fast paced and entertaining mystery that kept me guessing. I was hoping that the love triangle was solved and hoped this is the last book with Penny who can’t decide. I enjoyed the story and the complex plot even if there’s my pet peeve but it’s not a main point in the story. Penny and izzy are a good couple of investigators and they’re investigation are well done. Another good story and the last published.

Average rating 4/5

Sudden twst thoughts and sudden crack theory:

Today I just dug on some older literatures and found out that Alice Liddell, the real life girl which was the main inspiration of "Alice in Wonderland", her dad was the nephew of the baron of "Ravensworth" of England and first cousin of the earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne so if twst really is based on Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass, what if Crowley isn't Levan but more like he is his nephew? (If Levan is supposed to represent Diablo, Maleficent's raven)

And coincidentally it also fits the description of Levan that "he is not a prince but more like a noble" just like "the baron of Ravensworth of England"

Edit : Have I ever mentioned before that Alice's dad was also the dean of Christ Church College in Oxford and Crowley is the headmaster of Night Raven College?

After all he is not raven even though his school is "Night Raven" , he is a crow and sometimes ravens and crows are still considered relatives because they both corvids.

Why I said Crowley is a crow and isn't a raven is because of these considerations :

Supposed that Yana also used wordplays for Twisted Wonderland the same way Lewis Carroll used portmanteau and a lot of wordplays in Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass then we will find :

Crowley said he is "kind". The collective noun for ravens in english is "unkindness". Saying he is "kind" means that he is not a raven but more of a crow

It's literally in his name (Crowley)

The fact in all of the twst manga adaptations all the Yuus are being hit by black carriage with black horse just means that he "killed" Yuu and got them isekai-ed to Twisted Wonderland. The collective noun for crows in english is "murder"

The bird with golden key that perched on Malleus's coffin is a crow because that bird is small compared to raven

And it doesn't have "beard" a.k.a long shaggy neck feathers but rather, smooth neck feathers

[waterloggedsoliloquy]

theres one YA novel about a human kid trying to stay undercover in a world ruled by vampires but his name is Gene. GENE? even overlooking the heavyhanded symbolism, real vampires only have names like ophelia or moondancer or ravensworth or LeStrade or Comeaux or Fritzlang. you ever hear of a vampire named ZACK?
