Keeping A Murder Is Announced on my list. Is it one to read in short sittings or would you save it for a quiet weekend?

Aisling, that is what I like about a shortlist. It makes me stop endlessly browsing and actually choose.

A Murder Is Announced is one I am weighing up. Could someone add a spoiler-free note about the opening? That is usually what helps me choose.

Aisling, that is a good way of choosing. I tend to match the pick to the evening as well.

For anyone considering A Murder Is Announced: Keeping this on the list for a quieter evening rather than trying to squeeze it in.
