pickA twisty little tale of avarice. 🖤
This was “fun”, but didn‘t have the humor of Fremlin. Fremlin can be downright funny & sharp witted. I need more Fremlin in my life!
Why yes this edition IS before my time. ☺️ Makes me feel young! I guess I‘m lucky my library system still has a copy to circulate.
By the way, I have 5 library books checked out and it makes me anxious, which is completely irrational. It reminds me though why I shouldn‘t order any while I have one checked out. It‘s also why I prefer to buy so I can hoard them on my shelf. 😜
pickReally liked this short book about a couple who take in an elderly, lonely and wealthy woman, seemingly to get her money. They‘ve done this before and the pages kept turning quickly as I wanted to find out how this would shake out. Then a surprise ending!
pickMaisie and Josh have a spare room in their house. They have taken in an older lady, as a paying guest…. Let‘s just say the way they make their way in the world is quite disturbing.
I really enjoyed this one and want to read more by Celia Dale. Thanks @LeahBergen for your posting this. It caught my interest and it was so good 👍🏻♥️
Friday night reads!
I‘m loving my first Celia Dale. 👍
On the way back from a wee trip to London. Managed to squeeze in one teeny tiny book purchase
Daunt Books has just rereleased this forgotten 1966 novel of suspense.
Josh and Maisie Evans like to lend a helping hand to vulnerable older women (especially those with no one else to turn to). When their elderly lodger, Flo, dies and leaves them her estate they take themselves to Italy for a holiday. There they meet Mrs. Fingal, a wealthy widow, and decide to lend a helping hand again…
