The Connecticut Corpse Caper (Triple Threat Mysteries Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Tyler Colins (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

A week-long stay in a creepy Connecticut mansion is replete with hidden passageways, disappearing corpses, and quirky inheritance recipients. And if that’s not enough to make for hair-raising moments on the secluded, storm-bound estate, how about a ghost named Fred?

The stipulation in the will of Jill-Jocasta Fonne’s aunt reads: if a guest leaves early, his or her share will be divided among those remaining. The first one to leave - permanently - dies just hours after arriving.

Soon, people start dropping like flies. Donning amateur sleuth caps, Jill and her associates, Rey and Linda, attempt to solve the mystifying murders. Others jump in, and the bumbling and stumbling - and mayhem - begin.

Praise:

★★★★★ - "Will keep you amused - and guessing - from beginning to end."

5.0 out of 5 stars More twists and turns than the Amalfi Coast.

Boy, did this one keep my interest! As Jill tries to figure out who the players are, the body count keeps going higher. Every other chapter seemed to point to a different suspect, even Jill’s beloved Aunt Mat. There are secret passages, lots of people with secrets to hide, and a raging storm outside. It’s quirky and humorous but not in a laugh out loud way. I am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky, cosy whodunnit - lots of fun
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2020

The Connecticut Corpse Caper is the first in the Triple Threat Mysteries and my first read of this author. It's a fun twist on the traditional isolated country house whodunnit trope – the writer's style is energetic and brims with quirky humour and description. There's a posh mansion, tonnes of hidden passageways, a singing-talking ghost, and cast of both likeable and unlikeable characters all required to stay a week to inherit a packet of money. When the body count rises, corpses disappear and unexpected parties make an entrance, it's time for our amateur sleuths to get to work to solve the case. A very enjoyable cosy mystery.

3.0 out of 5 stars was and OK read
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2022

The author has a spunky( yes spunky and snarky) style which got me hooked in the beginning. The book was interesting with its premise of old-time mysteries - gathering a group of people for a week in the deceased's home to get their share of the money.
The characters are interesting and all have unusual quirks- as expected.
while the book was enjoyable it was really drawn out in my humble opinion ( and I love long reads). Sometimes it seems too much was presented and repeats of some events. The ending was a little lackluster but it does lead to the second adventure.

This rather odd cast of characters works beautifully! The interweaving of family and friends is well done! A number of different passions are displayed and some of the seven deadly sins are committed! This first in series portends a terrific series of fun-filled but deadly mysteries!

2.0 out of 5 stars The Connecticut Corpse Caper
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2022

The most positive thing I can say is that I did finish the book -- one chapter a day before getting back to something more appealing. There were too many characters to keep straight, and there are only so many murders before it becomes nonsense. The ending was anticlimactic and hardly plausible. Writing is good but doubt I will try another in the series.

A quirky widow with no children dies. She requires the beneficiaries to come to her mansion and spend a week there as a step in the inheritance process. They agree, setting off a bizarre chain of events. The characters are as peculiar as the circumstances.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Waste of Time
Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2022
Verified Purchase
The beginning was somewhat interesting, but it quickly became a confusing mishmash of characters, unnecessary descriptions, and boring murders. I can't believe I finished it! I have to blame the fact that I wasted hours reading this mess on my OCD.
It is poorly written, excessively filled with adjectives and detailed descriptions of clothes and settings. The plot---as much of a plot that there is!---is quite convoluted and unbelievable. The characters are unlikable and it's difficult to care who gets murdered, or why, or who does the murders.
Don't waste your time like I did!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A comical Agatha christie like murder mystery.
Reviewed in Spain on November 10, 2020

An Agatha Christie type murder mystery - but more humorous: A big house, an expected inheritance, snowstorms that prevent people leaving the estate, and various deaths which put everyone else in the house under suspicion.

The characters are wacky and over the top. When they turn into amateur sleuths to try and discover just exactly what is going on in the big old house, it made for interesting reading.

Not only was the farcical scenario unbelievable it was written in a confusing style with explanations and phrasing that did not add to but made the book boring and laborious.... The only reason I read to the end was to see who had done it not that the "sleuths actually solved anything. And I will not be reading any more
