Merry Wrath Mysteries #10
Mystery Night Murder
From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes the next Merry Wrath mystery about one former CIA agent turned Girl Scout Troop leader who is playing the deadly game of her life!
Mrs. Gable in the Conservatory with a noose?
It was supposed to be a fun weekend of pretend murder. Girl Scout Troop leader Merry Wrath and four of her scouts play an important role at the Murder Mystery Night Fundraiser on a secluded island in the middle of Dead Otter Lake. The guests, major donors, have all arrived in period costume, are eager to play, and can’t wait for the "killer" to strike!
Mr. Blunt in the Ballroom with a lead pipe?
Unbeknownst to them, a very real murderer roams the mansion’s halls, and the first victim falls with the first round of cocktails. A violent storm leaves the guests stranded and cut off from the outside world, as our cast of characters, one by one, are dying off in a very real mystery in a very unusual house. Of course, people aren’t who they seem and red herrings abound, throwing a wrench into the investigation.
Did the Butler do it?
With a nod to a mystery classic, can Merry solve this case and catch a killer before there’s no one else left to play the game?

Take Clue and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None mix well with Merry Wrath and part of her Girl Scouts and you get a fun roller coaster read.

"Mystery Night Murder" earns 5/5 Mini Lops...Clever, Engaging, & a Few Giggles!
It's a delightful fundraiser idea for the Girl Scout Council, a mystery murder game with an Agatha Christie twist: a private island in the middle of a lake, a mansion with its own murderous history, and forty-eight hours to uncover the fake "killer." Ok, what could possibly go wrong?! Merry and four of her more precocious scouts are helping make arrangements and posing as cast members to treat some of the special donors, but Merry's personal nemesis is also in attendance along with a disinterested rich guy, a well-known criminal attorney and his doting wife, a renowned surgeon, septuagenarian philanthropist couple, full-of-herself CEO, a bored tech billionaire, and a cook and a groundskeeper who have better things to do. What a gang! But, the wrong person ends up dead (really dead), a storm knocks out communications and chances for help from the mainland, and one of the figurines marking the guests is mangled. But, it doesn't stop there...Agatha Christie would be so proud!
I love Merry Wrath! Leslie Langtry's mystery is very engaging with more than a few suspects with motive, opportunity, and means to turn this supposedly fun weekend into a real twenty-five-to-life felony. I enjoy her entertaining writing style which includes vivid descriptions of the setting, characters, food, and crime scenes, fun and informative dialogue illustrating personality and emotion, and my favorite...pure snarky Merry! Beyond a very clever multi-victim murder mystery mimicking one of my favorite Christie novels, Langtry also adds some of the fun in the game Clue. But, it's the delightful characters that make this a personal favorite and kept me turning the page. Using a first-person narrative (my favorite perspective) sharing Merry's inner thoughts, she also incorporates many of her experiences, often dangers, as a spy and snarky interpretations that leave the reader giggling. Entertaining. Clever. Just the right amount of humor.

There is nothing like a a mystery weekend fundraiser on a secluded island. Only problem is there is a real murderer on the island and the guests are dropping like flies, with no way off the island. Merry Wrath and several of her Girl Scouts are among the people on the island. That makes for a fun time! I love how Leslie Langtry can make us laugh, even through death.

I loved this latest addition to the Merry Wrath series!!! Merry’s brain works in amazing ways, sometimes weird, but mostly spot-on. She’s funny, creative and caring. Her handling of the situation at the Girl Scout fundraiser was pure Merry Wrath! If you like a good mystery with lots of humor on the side and a big surprise ending, then you need to read this book!

This is a humorous/slightly weird series about a retired CIA spy who was outed by the Vice President. She moves back to her small hometown in Iowa to hide, but changes her name to her very distinctive mother's last name and openly runs around town. So much for hiding. The series really gets fun when she agrees to help lead a group of Girl Scouts.
In this volume she and four of her scouts are on an island in lake to help with a murder mystery fund raiser. People start dying and it becomes very And Then There Were None-ish, with a bit of Clue thrown in. I quite enjoyed it. It just so happens I love playing clue and I'm rereading all of Christie's mysteries, so it was fun to revisit one of my favorites from a different angle.

I was swooning when I read the synopsis of this one - an homage to Clue and Agatha Christie along with the usual gleeful over-the-top absurdity of Leslie Langtry's Merry Wrath series! It's a whodunit set on a stormy, isolated island in a mansion with secret passageways where a plethora of suspects and victims meet their fate. Suffice it to say this sounded like my ideal reading experience :) And a lot of it did live up to those lofty expectations, even as a few nitpicks prevented me from giving it five stars.
What I liked:
1. We all need as much laughter and happiness as we can get these days, and the Merry Wrath series is just the dose of unapologetically over-the-top, adrenaline-fueled insanity that I've been craving :) I used to be someone who'd roll my eyes at books that were as silly and absurd as these are, but reading became a lot more fun once I deliberately suspended my disbelief and went along with the whirlwind ride. Merry Wrath is an improbable former CIA agent who had more insane things happen to her during her brief espionage career than most would experience in several hundred lifetimes, and she's now a Girl Scout leader in her small Iowa hometown, where...a constant barrage of insane things still happen and Merry Wrath is still perpetually at the center of murder and mayhem. The way these books manage to winkingly acknowledge their own absurdity quells my more cynical "wait, realistically this would NEVER, ever happen because -" objections :)
2. I'm normally not a fan of overly precocious fictional kids who often act decades older than their actual age, but the Girl Scouts in this series are an oddly endearing combination of cute and creepy, morbid yet cheerful, extremely savvy and sophisticated in some ways while still childlike in others. The understated but clear affection and loyalty between Merry and the girls gives this series its heart and is arguably its biggest draw. I do wish there was more of a clear distinction among the Girl Scouts since nearly all of them seem to have more or less the same personality, but at least we do get a faint effort to distinguish them in this and other entries - e.g. Inez is the artist, Lauren is the one who knows a lot of (mostly inaccurate but amusing) facts about animals, Betty is...the most amusingly terrifying :)
3. Unpopular opinion alert, but I didn't miss Kelly or Rex in this one at all. I don't mind their presence in the other entries, but neither is an especially distinctive character imo, and Rex's romance with Merry has always been pleasant but kind of generic (again, I know this is unpopular, please don't attack me!), so I was fine taking a break from them in this one and instead focusing more on the suspects and victims. There were already more than enough characters as is, though it's to the author's credit that she always gives our victims and suspects a couple of defining quirks and character traits rather than just letting them be names on a page.
4. The plot and ultimate reveal of the mystery isn't Agatha Christie-level brilliant (almost no novel's is!), but it definitely kept me engaged and was ultimately satisfying, which is a lot more than I can say for many other cozy mysteries.
What I didn't like:
1. I'm usually a big fan of Merry Wrath, our protagonist, but I found her weirdly unlikable for parts of this one. Merry is generally an unapologetic oddball, and in this case she was kind of prone to mocking others for being odd instead. She snarks about a certain female character needing a makeover, which had me wondering when Merry Wrath, who lives for casual and comfortable clothes, eats whatever she wants rather than watching her weight and has perpetually unruly hair, suddenly became someone who acts all judgmental about women's physical appearance?! Her thoughts on a male character come precariously close to fat shaming as well. There was just a weirdly self-superior vibe about her in this entry, like her thoughts on how SHE, Merry, always manages to "hold it together" while apparently weaker (ie people with mental health issues?!) don't, and her assumption that OF COURSE she'd naturally become the group's unquestioned leader when crises occurred lol. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but if this was your first Merry Wrath mystery and the main character rubbed you the wrong way, rest assured that she's much more likable in other entries - still brave and fiercely protective and adventurous, yet less self-superior, not as judgmental about superficial stuff, and a lot more candid about her own human shortcomings.
2. The remote, locked room setting didn't allow for the changes of scenery and fast-moving action that we usually get from this series, which means at certain points we just get a couple of circular conversations and inner monologues with the same information repeated for the second or even third or fourth time :)
3. I read a few later entries before circling back to this one (heaven forbid I ever read a series in its intended order lol), and I have to say that while as noted above I didn't really miss Rex or Kelly in this one, I DID miss Hilly - she's a truly unique character who adds a lot of amusement to some of those later books for me :) Soo Jin (the medical examiner who Merry spends most of her time with in this one) is pleasant company, but we're always reminded of how perfectly sweet and brilliant and stunningly beautiful she is, and I happen to prefer my characters in a series as wacky as this one to be a lot more flawed and weird ;)
4/5 stars

Another good one. Very Agatha Christie. The girls, at least some of them, were right in the middle of some of the action.

Leslie Langtry scores a perfect 10 with the latest Merry Wrath mystery! I am an avid Merry Wrath fan and I'll happily go wherever she and her girl scouts lead me, looking forward to laugh out loud moments and crazy characters. This story exceeded my expectations. This is a fun twist on the isolated murder mystery night gathering where characters are killed off one at a time. "And then there were none" Agatha Christie style mixed with a little Clue style "was it the butler in the Conservatory with the candlestick?" This time, Merry and Soo Jin take 8 wealthy girl scout foundation donors to an island where they will be entertained by a carefully scripted who-dunnit. Along with 4 girl scouts, 2 house staff, and 2 additional girl scout personnel, they are alone on the island when a storm takes out communications and the weekend goes off script! Sure enough the guests start dying one by one following the lines of a poem left in each players room.
This is a real page-turner. Pay close attention or just enjoy, no worries, the girl scouts are tracking on a murder board. I made a few guesses throughout the book, but I never guessed! Well crafted, well developed, and unique. If you feel like picking up a super fun, cozy mystery. Try Merry Wrath!

Agatha Christie is not my favorite author,nor is "And Then There Were None" my favorite of her books, however I have always loved a good game of Clue. Leslie Langtry is always a favorite author when I want to count on belly laughs throughout the book. This book was no exception. My 4 favorite girl scouts and their definitions and explanations were hilarious time after time. Dr Body was a perfect straight "man" for the girls and Merry as well. Merry seemed like she was doing a lot of dithering throughout the book, but when it came time to do something, she was fearless and faced danger head on again and again. And as usual, her silent thoughts were often funnier than what she actually said. (Consider her thoughts regarding the food at the children's table for example.)
Even though the plot was predictable, (how could it not be when you are parodying a famous book and game?) Ms Langtry always had a little twist to give the reader a laugh as they faced reported death. Well done, Ms L! I also liked the bunny Gertrude and her habitat of the inner walls. Have you ever noticed how there hasn't been a normal animal in this series?
So if you are like me and not a fan of the original book, fear not. There are plenty of other things that will entertain you and make you glad you took a chance and read this book. I know I sure am!

Merry and her troop are part of a fundraiser, where donors are invited to a secluded villa in the middle of a lake to solve a murder mystery based on Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians. Unfortunately, there is a real killer amongst them, who starts picking them off one by one.
The girl scouts were hilarious as usual. But where this book really shines is its sense of self-irony. The layout of the villa is the same as the Clue board game. One of the girl suspects the elderly couple, because the least obvious people are often the killers. Every time someone dies, a status is destroyed as in Ten Little Indians. The murderer uses a common cliché to detract suspicion from himself. In short, a book in a cozy mystery series that makes fun of clichés in cozy mystery series.
Without that aspect the case itself wouldn't be as good, as the resolution is borderline ridiculous. But even that was incredibly fun.

This book is awesome! Leslie Langtry continues to amaze me. I love this series, all the books so far have been fantastic, but the whole concept of this book is genius. A combination of one of my favorite Agatha Christie books, And Then There Were None, mixed with a little bit of the game Clue, and Merry, Soon Jin, Betty (the little girl who keeps getting more dangerous AND smart), Ava, Lauren, Inez, and 8 financial donors are in a secluded mansion to play this awesome game over the weekend when everything turns very real, and people keep dying at the hands of a real murderer. Everyone is a suspect. To make matters even more difficult, they are stranded on an island in the middle of a lake due to a storm and have no way out! Brilliant twist on one of my very favorite mystery series. Both hilarious and suspenseful, Merry is at her best!

This book is great! Merry, along with some of her Girl Scouts (& helpers), host a Murder Mystery Night on a nearby island. The attendees are some high donors to the Scouts, and are all a mixed bag of personalities.
After the wrong person dies (literally, dies) the game is called off, but they are trapped on the island in a huge storm, without a way to communicate with the outside world. People continue to die one by one, and it's up to Merry to find the killer in the group.
This was a really fun one to read, the girls are awesome as usual, and had me laughing out loud. It was great to have the whole book set in one place, and focusing purely on Merry, the Scouts and the attendees. Great read!

If I could give this book a 7 or 8 stars....or even 10 star rating, I would. This is the best, funniest, most clever book I have read in a long time!!!! I don’t give reviews often, but had to in this case. This is a brilliant book!!! If you are a fan of Agatha Christie’s book “And There Were None” (or even a fan of the old movie.....which is also an awesome), or a fan of the movie “Clue” (again, a very funny and clever movie), you will flip over this book. But do yourself a favor and read the rest of the series first. Even though this a stand alone book and can be read out of order, you will get SOOO much more laughter and enjoyment because you know the rest of the characters and their back stories. Again, this is definitely a “must read”!!!!!

And then there were none
A couple loaned their house for a week for a mystery with donor's as the actors to help the girl scouts. Only a few of Wrath's girl Scout troop were present as well as Merry Wrath and some of the troop leaders too. At first they thought it was a take on And then there were none, but Merry couldn't understand the motives when the first to a riddle collapsed into his fish dinner. More people were killed as what the riddle said. Merry is the last one on the list to be killed, Not if Merry can figure it out who was doing the killing. Read Mystery night Murder, I would not want to be a donor at that party. Good job Leslie

enjoyable and entertaining
I love me some quirk. I love me some humor in my mysteries. And I love me some twists and turns. A good mystery! Merry and her girls scouts have their own Murder Mystery Night… A big old nod to a big old mystery classic: ‘And Then There Were None’ Also to the game ‘Clue’. Which makes for an interesting read! An enjoyable and entertaining book, that I can wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who loves a good cozy mystery with humor thrown in.

Merry and the girls are taking part in a Murder Mystery weekend at a house on an island when the deaths turn real.
What I enjoyed:
* This is my favorite mystery of the series. Somewhat based on "And Then There Were None" and I had no idea who the killer was
* The longer wrap up was informative
* Very impressed at how the killer managed everything

Merry wrath is, as always, entertaining. Equal parts funny and suspenseful. Thinking she is only going to be running a murder mystery weekend in aid of her girl scouts troop.... Oh Merry, you would think you'd learn by now, that things are never that simple in your world. I loved trying to figure out the murderer or murderers. I was close by not spot on. I need to work on my detective skills it would seem. Thank you for the mysteries Lesley, now to wait for the next one 🤷♀️

OMG! What the What! Merry and Soo Jin take the 4 non-Kaitlyns to an island for a fundraiser. Janice and Stacey as organisers and the representatives of the Girl Scouts were holding a Mystery Weekend ala Agatha Christie and 10 little nigger boys, with their major donors. Some where along the way, LIKE AT THE FIRST MURDER, the wrong victim dies and it's permanent. That is when Merry and Soo Jin become detectives to try and stem the number of deaths.

Up for a Mystery Challenge?
Based on an Agatha Christie classic, Langtry’s tenth installment in the Merry Wrath series is just as challenging as its predecessor. It’s filled with twists and turns - literally and figuratively. Readers may think they’ve solved it, but have they really? A great plot, amazing clues, well-crafted opportunities, and a motive that just may put this cozy mystery on the must-read classics’ list.

Leslie Langtry and Merry Wrath are an exceptional pair. Of course, Merry is a character in some of the most entertaining books on the shelf. And Ms. Langtry is the author with a magnificent imagination who can make an ex-CIA agent turned girl scout leader one of the most loved fictional characters. Find out how Merry and four scouts solve another crime.

Mystery Night Murder kept me up late. Merry Wrath and the scouts are a hoot. Those girls have some serious skills. Who would not love a series where the medical examiner is named Dr. Body? This plot was more convoluted than ever and I had no clue about the murderer. To me that is a very successful mystery.

OMG!!! I loved this adventure. Merry's scout troop is again front and center, helping her solve a slew of slain mystery night participants. These little girls are mini Merrys! I laughed out loud it was so funny. I don't want to spoil the fun, but this is well worth taking the time to read. I finished it in one night. Many thanks Ms Langtry for a really great read, please keep them coming!

What better fundraiser for the Girl Scout troop than a murder-mystery dinner in a mansion on a secluded island? But when the victims are really dead it's up to Merry to figure out whodunnit before they all become victims.
Once again Leslie Langtry has made murder laugh-out-loud funny. I was stumped until the very end.

Okay story, but way inappropriate for her 10 y.o. girl scouts! Also go a bit repetitive with Merry being clueless for even longer than normal.
The inconsistency in details is annoying. Juliette was in the mental health ward at the end of the prior book, and that never happened in this one. Honestly, make yourself a details spreadsheet you can search!

Merry, Soo Jin and four of the Girl Scouts are staying on an island for a murder mystery weekend. Just one problem develops, they first murder is not the scheduled death and is the start of a series of killings. Great story with lots of suspects and an unique ending. Great series.

A very well written and interesting cosy mystery with hilarious one-liners thrown in to keep you chuckling. I stumbled upon this author purely by chance and note that she has written countless books and series just waiting to be consumed. I’m going to go back to begin book #1 to get Merry Wrath’s back story; it will be interesting I’m certain.
