Welcome to Litsy!

As a free book from Prime reading, this was satisfying. I liked it… but mostly for the characters, not the mystery. I haven‘t read the previous books in the series, but it wasn‘t difficult to follow - and the characters are likable from this book alone, which is great. There‘s nothing I specifically disliked about it, but I wouldn‘t call it wonderful either. It‘s just in the comfortable middle-ground of “good”.

Only got in an hour of listening to my current audio book(tagged) while doing dishes last night. My day was largely spent with family: my sisters from CT, MA NE,( taking photo) & one CT brother, hubby, 2 brothers in law (CT, NE). A day of crazy weather: white fog,sun,hail, wind bursts, sheets of rain. Such a happy day! #novelnovember #readathon

More please! Love this series more with each entry. 😁

I so like this series of historical mysteries. The mysteries themselves are excellent, but the characters really draw me in. Also, the author weaves in the scientific and technological advances of the time in each of the stories. This one concentrated on botany, so it was right up my alley 😄 Well written, I think even if you hadn‘t read the previous books, you could pick up the backstory and still enjoy it.

Thanks for the tag, @Lcsmcat

1. I‘m about 2/3 through the tagged book. Also doing @MoonWitch94 ‘s real time Discovery of Witches read.
2. The tagged book is from a series, and I am so drawn in by the characters.

Consider yourself tagged!

Thanks to everyone who expressed their concern. I had my medical procedure this morning, it went pretty well. The doctor didn‘t see anything obvious (and he angled the screen so I could see what the camera was showing). Just waiting for the biopsy results, sometime next week. Taking it easy the rest of the day and starting this book. Yet another set in a garden. 💐🌻🥀

Two new books that involve gardens on my Kindle. I‘m really looking forward to the tagged book, which released today, but since the other has Frederick Law Olmsted as a character, I couldn‘t resist.

This is the fifth in a favorite series of mine. As Wrexford and Charlotte are nearing their wedding day, they find themselves reluctantly pulled into the murder of a prominent botanist on the eve that he was planning to present a major discovery/cure. There are several “baddies” and surprising twists in this one. I found this one a little slower to get into, and I missed more of the banter between the leads that was present in previous books. 🔻
