Welcome to Litsy!

I love this series. I'm re-reading the first several, as I read them when they first came out. Jury is such a sweetie, and I love how he searches out the kids and the unentitled to befriend and help.

The mysteries are complex enough that you have to work to figure them out, and the characters she creates are fascinating.

I love, love, love this series. So witty, so much fun. I‘ve got the third installment on my February #Bookspin list!

The 2nd Richard Jury novel has him in a small coastal town to solve a murder, although there's some questions over the identity of the victim. Additional pressure comes from the inevitability of the promotions panel and Jury's reluctance to advance his career. Melrose Plant again features, and Agatha is thankfully relegated to a bit-part. If you liked the first, you'll like this one, even though it's rather more firmly rooted in the modern era.

Finished another of these really good cosy mysteries. And as my bookmark attests, I did fall asleep partway through. Not the books fault! I quite like reading myself to sleep. Do you?

Ok, I have a question for you #littlefreelibrary folks: I took these two out of a LFL by my house with lots of nice fiction. There are at least 4 other LFLs in my neighborhood that (currently, at least) have much slimmer pickings. Should I return these to the LFL I got them from, or should I share the love? Is there an etiquette I should know about? (Neither book is marked for the LFL in any way, as I know some of them do.)
