Late morning coffee and cranberry cake. Of course Poe had to join me. He snugged my book to give it his seal of approval. Planning on a relaxing day while trimming the tree.#catsoflitsy

This cute little podcast series kept me entertained today when I couldn‘t focus🫨😵💫 on actual pages. I‘ll be listening to the rest in the coming days.

This has got to be one of the best Ruth Galloway mysteries, yet. Have we reached the end? It feels like it, but I think that‘s OK. There‘s a murder to solve, of course, but, personally, I was more interested in the involvements of all of the characters that I have come to love. No spoilers, but that ending had me bawling. All is as it should be. And I will forever wonder what they are all doing now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When children are killed and the Jewish community of Cambridge is blamed, King Henry II sends for a doctor of death to investigate. Adelia is the best but she is a woman doctor in Medieval England and is under constant threat of the community thinking she‘s a witch and a killer wanting to keep their secrets.
Such an immersive story that brings forensics, restrictive gender roles, and religious tension to a nail biting whodunit mystery.
February #bookspin #serieslove2024
January is off to a good start. Completed this months bookspin and checked off another book in a series I adore. Daisy and Hazel are off to Cambridge to celebrate the Christmas holidays and stumble upon two murders. They join forces with their friends the Junior Pinkertons to solve the case set at a fictional Oxford.
We had bad storms all night (we're fine!), & maybe it's weird to say so, but this book paired well with the storms? It was just the right amount of intrigue, with relatively quick resolutions. I don't think the episodic nature of the book worked as well in this as the 1st in the series, which revolved around the church calendar. (Sidney is a vicar, after all.) But it worked. This one had the first *huge* difference between the books & the TV show.
