Prompt: THEATER
How could his “theater” have collapsed? Everything was done perfectly to all the specifications.
Douglas Layton was the architect who had drawn the plans for the Britannia Theater that collapsed on its opening night killing over a dozen people. He was convicted and sent to prison for five years.

Despite reading a BUNCH last week, the #WeeklyForecast somehow has the windowsill as packed as ever. So mysterious! 😂 I actually finished The Soulmate Equation this morning, and The True Love Experiment is next. The tagged book is the week's #14books14weeks2023 read, and then I'm hoping to get through The Archives of the Invisible Sword trilogy for the #BacklistReadathon. The Grand Sophy is also pretty high on the list for #LMPBC. We will see ⬇
Thank you so much for sending this one my way @rsteve388 !!! I'm looking forward to trying another of Belfoure's books!!
HEY #Litsy community, does anyone have the aforementioned book on their TBR? I got a paperback version in my book box today and I already have a hard cover of the same book, let me know and I will mail it to you. Lots of book mail.gpong out on Saturday. #BookMail
bailedI bailed at page 76. It‘s too much of an information dump about early 20th century. Facts in fiction should color the writing, not dictate it.
How could his theater have collapsed? Everything was done perfectly to all the specifications.
Mr. Belfoure has written another marvelous, interest-keeping novel with a well-researched story line.
THE FALLEN ARCHITECT will be enjoyed by historical fiction fans, fans of mysteries, artists, architects, and anyone who enjoys books set in London and this time period.

"How could his theater have collapsed? Everything was done perfectly to all the specifications.
Mr. Belfoure has written another marvelous, interest-keeping novel with a well-researched story line. His writing is smooth, detailed, and kept me turning the pages. LOVED the book.
ENJOY when you read Mr. Belfoure‘s newest. 5/5
This book was given to me as an ARC. All opinions are my own.
so-soAn architect is blamed for the deaths of 14 people when a balcony collapses in a public building he designs. Specifically, he‘s convicted of and served time for murder. It‘s this and other leaps of legal and investigative logic which put me off this book. If you can suspend belief a bit, it‘s an entertaining historical mystery. #netgalley

Read these - both good reads.

I haven't read any of Greer Macallister's books, but this book looks good. Ms. Macallister wrote THE MAGICIAN'S LIE.
