pickNot the first time that a Joffe Book had printing errors. Even pages from 116 to 214 had the last word on each line shortened or missing. As can be seen in the photo. Apart from that, this was a very enjoyable read and an exceedingly difficult case, the last for Inspector Ravenscroft. I found the ending satisfying and heartfelt. An interesting #Historicalcrime mystery to be savoured.
pickSoft pick, I possibly lost something having not read any of the rest of the series. The historical detail about the Swindon Railway Village is superb. The picture shows images of key buildings of the village mentioned in the book. Even the editor of the Swindon Advertiser, a newspaper started as a one-man, one-room operation in 1854, is real.

pickConclusion of a 2 part-er within this long Mary Russell / Sherlock Holmes series. It must have been good cos I stayed up until 3am to finish it and I really try not to do that too often!! I love the historical detail in this series and Mary is a fabulous character. No 10 in the series. #CrimeReads #CosyCrime #CrimeFiction #Sherlock #HistoricalCrime #SherlockHolmes #MaryRussell #DetectiveNovel
pickI've never read the original Sherlock Holmes books but I love the YA Enola Holmes books and this great series by Laurie R King gives an older Sherlock a young and brilliant wife, Mary Russell and she is the narrator of this richly researched historical series. This particular one is the first half of a 2 part-er which is slightly annoying... but I still highly recommend them. #CrimeReads #CosyCrime #Sherlock #HistoricalCrime

🦋Tagged. 3.5 stars. Good story telling, but this period of history is always frustrating and confusing to me.

🦋A great time Tuesday with my “ladies who lunch” group. Much needed laughs and company.
1. Every day it changes. Tagged book is today‘s choice.
2. Yes. Preferably without words so I‘m not pulled into the song.

pickThis first in a five part series featuring The Seeker, head of the Guard protecting Oliver Cromwell, is compared to the Sansome series and aptly so, although it is set 100 years after the time of that other Cromwell and his infamous king. I expected to enjoy the mystery and intrigue of this tale and it‘s enigmatic antihero but was unprepared for the beauty of the writing. The author she has a gorgeous way with prose! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis is the 4th book in the historical fiction series about James Marwood and Cat Lovett. I just love this series, full of political intrigue, possible traitor, spies and much more. The writing is good and you learn a bit of history too!
This is one of my current reads, hope to finish tonight's. It is the fourth book in the series.
