Welcome to Litsy!

Well, considering that l'm usually terrible with challenges, l'm quite happy with my progress with #Booked2020. It is already a lot better than last year.

The Doom List for #SetInHollywood was a great read. Strong noir feeling, great characters, an intriguing mystery.

An Un marked Grave for #LiveAndLearn about the 1918 Influenza Pandemic. This is a subject that is increasingly intriguing me.
A couple of chapters in and it already sounds great.

Thoroughly enjoying Bess Crawford! ☺

⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

New Year's Resolution - be better about posting what I'm reading here! I read many books last year, that I didn't post about.

First book of 2020 = Bess Crawford. So glad I found her! 👩🏻‍⚕️🕵️‍♀️💉💀

Friday is definitely not too late for some #WondrousWednesday action, right?!
-May 2019
-It was on my radar because of LibraryThing, which I ironically don't use but am on their email list. Once it was something I could access via desktop & not just an app (I don't really like apps), I was eager to give it a try.
-About the same, but the community aspect is AMAZING
-I read about anything that leaves me feeling happy/satisfied inside

Thanks @Eggs

It's 1918 and Spanish Flu has hit. But suddenly there's an additional body that's not due to the flu or the Front. The most exciting of the Bess Crawford mysteries so far sees Bess hunting a murderer who this time is after her. The same atmospheric writing as the earlier books in the series brings the Front to life. An excellent installment in the series.

Spanish flu rips through the ranks and catches Bess in it's wake. A suicide that may not be all that it seems. A murder that may or may not have happened. A family friend in mortal peril. A suspect who's a bit too elusive.

There were some loose ends to the mystery in this book but if you don't look too closely it's still a good read.

Another good effort for this series. One thing that‘s beginning to bug me a little is that every man Bess meets seems to fall in love with her. 😳🙄😄 Yes, I know that she‘s a nurse in war time, but really?! I‘m actually rooting for her life-long friend Simon, but not sure that they will move forward to something or just remain friends.

Can‘t wait to dive in to this next one....more adventures for Bess. ❤️
