Welcome to Litsy!

This is third in series of the Lady Darby mysteries. I‘m doing a FB re-read read-along of the series with a group of fans and the author. This is one of my favorites as we are introduced to the dangerous but charismatic Bonnie Brock Kincaid…the bad boy you can‘t help but love. So cool to be able to ask questions and hear insights from the author on each book leading up to her most current release (number 9) this past April.

I love this series! This is only the 3rd book and I can‘t wait to dive into the next one. Kiera and Gage are my favorite! Definitely my favorite historical mystery series! I love that it‘s set in Scotland and the mysteries are always really interesting. Thanks so much for the book @inthegreensandblues

I always enjoy spending time with Lady Kiera Darby, Sebastian Gage, and others. Definitely an intriguing historical mystery. #scarathlon #teamslaughter #bookspinbingo #screamathon #sbooktober #gothtober #anunfortunatereadathon (partial #cyoreadathon #october8in2)

I have always been a mystery fan since my dad introduced me to Perry Mason (TV) & Agatha Christie as a kid. Not too gory or scary fir me. I noticed that since Covid I have upped that genre reading with an occasional novel or non fiction thrown in. My escape!

Flawed (and frankly silly) as these books can be, I usually enjoy them precisely for these features. The appalling “Scottish“ accents, the not-quite-there social mores, the Americanisms that creep in. I'm fairly sure that lockdown is the reason that I didn't have as much fun with this one but I'd still recommend them to anyone who needs a bit of escapism.

1. Tagged
2. Discworld is keeping me sane at the moment
3. Toppings & Co
4. LotR probably has the top spot
5. The Princess Bride. I love it but I hate the book!
6. Literally 100s, hopefully isolation will help me make a dent
7. Right now I'd love cosy Cranford
8. NW by Zadie Smith. Hated it until the final ⅓
9. Keep going. Read when and what helps
10. Anywhere
11. At the Back of the North Wind, 101 Dalmatians, Heidi
12. Anyone still to play

4⭐, y'all!
Another Lady Darby. Seems I've found a series to enjoy. 😉🥃📚

After being the sickest I have been in more than 10 years, I am getting back on my feet. It is going to be a giant challenge to make my mileage goal this month.

Onto my 3rd Lady Darby mystery in as many days

3rd in the Lady Darby series—Victorian Gothic murder mysteries. Domestic abuse survivor, widow, portrait painter, & 2 time crime solver Lady D is caught up in a new whodunnit (the “it” in question being graves robbed for ransom—go figure). The real detective (“inquiry agent”), Sebastian Gage, returns to solve the crimes & perhaps finally resolve his feelings for Lady D. Parties, fights, chases, intriguing criminals, detailed minor characters.

Today‘s #bookmail. I‘m so excited! Christmas was too long to wait so I bought them for myself! #noshameinthat

#marchintoreading This bag rarely holds books, but I count it as a #book bag because it came from one of my favorite authors. Before the release of one of Anna Lee Huber's Lady Darby books, I volunteered to distribute some promotional materials at local libraries and to reader friends. In return, I got this bag that goes to the market with me on a regular basis.

Maybe my favorite in the series so far. While the mystery plot was very original/interesting, it was the character development and introduction of new characters that excited me most. Keira's and Sebastian's relationship moved along nicely (both personally and professionally), but we were also introduced to more of Keira's extended family and a very intriguing "underworld" figure named Bonnie Brock, who I hope to see more of in future ventures.

The third installment of the Lady Darby mystery series. I'm in love with these. ❤ #romantsy #osrbc

My first book of 2017! I'm just loving the Lady Darby series and am flying through it. There are few things more satisfying than realizing that the entire series is available on overdrive. But how are more people not reading this?!

Well-written with fascinating mysteries, this historical series has just the right amount of romance and a very loveable family at its heart. It's great to see Lady Darby coming into her own.

I love these books. And the audio narration is amazing. Murder. Grave robbing. And more flirting by Gage. Plus we get to meet more of Kiera's family. Definitely check out this series.
