Summary
What she does observe at the party is that Genevra craves attention, in contrast to her shy sister Ethel. Genevra introduces a game called Two Truths and a Lie, and one of her questionable statements is that she once witnessed a murder. At this bold claim, the guests react with disbelief and pepper her with questions. Genevra remains cagey, withholding details, but insists this is not her lie.
The next morning Phyllida learns poor Ethel was purposely run down by a motorcar the previous night while inexplicably walking home alone from the party. She fears Genevra may have been the target, which means someone at the party is a killer—twice over. A chilling thought. With Genevra in potential danger—and Inspector Cork proceeding ponderously as usual—Phyllida takes it upon herself to unmask the killer. With two murders to solve, she will need to grill Genevra and the guests as well as re-examine any past sudden deaths or disappearances. And if she’s smart, she’ll look twice before crossing the road . . .©2025 Colleen Cambridge (P)2025 Tantor Audio

I requested this book because of its fun concept: Phyllida Bright, housekeeper to Agatha Christie, is an amateur sleuth, and while her famous employer is struggling with the plot of The Orient Express, she gives her renowned boss the space to write, runs the house, and maintains social etiquette.
This is Book 5 of the Phyllida Bright Mystery Series. While I usually go back and read earlier books in the series, 5 (fairly long) books was too much of a commitment. So I read this one as a standalone book, and it worked well; people who've read the rest of the series might have had a more nuanced read. But I didn't feel like I was missing much of the backstory. That being said, I'm interested in reading some of the earlier books to find out how Phyllida ended up as Agatha Christie's housekeeper. Did the sleuthing come first?
This was an excellent cosy mystery, with engaging characters and an interesting setting and back story.
