Welcome to Litsy!

They‘re certainly pushing this novel of a 1920s divorcee. It was in the thriller section in WH Smiths. However, the blurb made it sound like something else. In both seller and buyer, confusion reigns but I thought maybe it was an edgy, impossible to categorise, rediscovered curio plus I have a soft spot for women behaving badly stories so I took a punt. Sadly I can‘t get past the first 30 pages. It‘s American Psycho without the murders or irony

Very interesting insight male/female relationships in 1920s New York - found myself a little irritated by the characters but it‘s an era thing ! Overall I enjoyed it .

Another one I'm saving for December

Anne, @MittenGirlPeach, you chose just the perfect, cozy items for fall. The books are fabulous and will fit in with my mystery reads all the way through the holidays. The journal is incredible; I can't wait to organize it and use my pens in it! Loverly tea and tea towel, and the stationery is gorgeous! The stickers will be put to good use, too! You spoiled me! Thanks again! 🧡🤎💛

Lower end of pick scale. I like the characters and the setting — Jazz Age New York — but I didn‘t find the mystery particularly interesting. Vivian and Honor are eventually going to have to make up their minds about each other. Outside walk today was lovely. #audiowalk

I think I read these books for the characters rather than the mystery. In this one, Bea‘s uncle dies; everyone but Vivian thinks it‘s a suicide. Florence comes more into her own here. I had to walk inside today because of the rain. #audiowalk

I forgot about this series, so I was excited to see a new one came out and it was on KU.

This one has Jane and Redvers on a small Scottish island investigating an occult leader. It turns into them investigating a murder investigation.

I really liked this one and am looking forward to the next one.

4⭐️ Really liked this one; loved how the author unveiled the story. And I really liked that she chose #1920s Ireland as the setting of the book. Learned about a little about the Irish War of Independence (kinda weird that I am now on season 3 of Downton, which sort of has this as a plot point as well) and really liked the characters. #bookclub #fiction #historicalfiction #war #romance #2024 #timetravel
