A cozy murder taking place in Australia. The characters were mostly charming. The Fisher women were adventurous. They certainly had a flair about them. They seem to have talents many don‘t have. Ms Peregrine Fisher is the youngest in the current line. She finds herself entangled in a mystery that needs investigating and solving. If the shared genetic material with her Aunt has anything to do with it, no one should worry. 4/5⭐️

A young woman working as an art therapist in a mental institution, in love with a married psychiatrist working there, helps a patient who has been discovered in a house that he hasn‘t left for years. He‘d lived with his aunts who had kept him from leaving in case others saw him. It could have been me and my mood but this was too long for the story it told. I wish it had resonated more with me because the outline of the story is interesting.

Reggie Messy therapists/psychologists are my jam. But the whole too long for the story told leaves it unshackled. Great review Sue. 2mo

Definitely recommend this book if you're interested in politics.

It's a personal account of the 1960s by Doris and Dick Goodwin through their archives: their role, what they thought at the time, how they looked back on it all.

Doris Goodwin's writing is excellent and intimate.

Susanita She talked about this at last year‘s National Book Festival. Very touching. 2mo

I hesitate to review this book only because there‘s so many complicated,unusual characters,whose characterization is imbued by the beauty of this VT farming country.It‘s 1969 & Dec.Warren moves to Bethany VT when offered a position with the state police Almost immediately an irascible farmer is found burned to death in his barn. Was suicide? Murder? An accident? As Warren delves into the investigation,assisted by his elderly enigmatic neighbor🔽

kspenmoll 🔼 he uncovers secrets & lies, some benign, some just skirting evil. 2mo
