In a sleepy English village, Milford, it‘s late Friday afternoon and lawyer Robert Blair is thinking about finishing the day early. Then the phones ring and one of the villagers wants his legal counsel. Before he knows it, he is tangled up in quite the case.

This was a gripping read that had me turning the pages, and a reminder to not make assumptions based on looks.

The Franchise Affair | Josephine Tey

pick

I decided this book is a pick even though I have very mixed feelings about it. It's excellent as a mystery and I liked many of the characters but ideas and attitudes described in the book are definitely dated.

Ruthiella Agreed. The class vitriol is particularly unpleasant. 2y

Librarybelle I‘m looking forward to reading this one, and knowing that some of the ideas in this are very dated is good to know! 2y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2y

kwmg40 @Ruthiella I thought the same, and a novel about a a girl making up a story about an assault would not be popular in the current times! 2y

kwmg40 @Librarybelle I'm definitely looking forward to the discussion of this book at the end of the month! 2y

kwmg40 @TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the continuing readathon and #BookSpinBingo encouragement! 2y

I Capture the Castle | Dodie Smith

pick

This classic has been on my shelf for a while, and it was worth the read. The narrator is perhaps a little too self-aware, but the story itself was heartfelt and full of feels.
