The Harlech Beach Killings | Simon McCleave

This was an enjoyable read, but I think I enjoyed the first one more. An interesting Murder mystery, with some good twists and characters, I did guess the killer, but not quite how that person committed the murder. Wish they would stop talking about alcoholism, played up too much in the books. We get the message and the demons that one character is fighting. Despite this I look forward to the next one.

The Eleventh Commandment | Jeffrey Archer

Starting a political thriller by Jeffrey Archer. A long time since I‘ve read one of his standalone political thrillers.

Lizpixie You know, I don‘t believe I‘ve ever read any of his. I‘ve read a lot of political & spy thrillers over the years but missed him. 3y

Andrew65 Almost 40 years since I read them but at tine loved Kane and Abel and The Prodigal Daughter. (edited) 3y

Kiss Me at Willoughby Close | Kate Hewitt

pick

Finished the fourth book of the Wiloughby Close series, having listened to all 4 in the last week, and have to say have thoroughly enjoyed them. Great stories of the residents, and the changes in their lives. Recommended.

If you are part of Audible the whole series of five books is available freely.

The Thief of Lanwyn Manor | Sarah E. Ladd

pick

Julia heads to Lanwyn Manor to act as companion to her bedridden, pregnant cousin. Of course, intrigue and danger arrive with her. Legends fill the house with a sinister air, tempers flare from mining-related struggles, and Julia becomes caught in the romantic intentions of the Blake twins.

Ladd allows the story around Julia to unfold with ease—and a couple great twists—making it a delightful combination of mystery and romance. #jumpstart2020

hes7 (I received a free copy of this book. All opinions expressed are my own.) 5y

alisiakae Is this a mystery with twins in it? I have been trying to figure out a book for the #twins prompt for @BarbaraTheBibliophage #mandmreadingchallenge and it sounds like this would work! 🙌🏽 5y

hes7 @4thhouseontheleft Yeah, I think it could work—though it is more of a plot that has some mystery than a “mystery,” if that makes sense. Some others that could work are Arrowood (McHugh), Two Can Keep a Secret (McManus), and The Thirteenth Tale (Setterfield). 5y

robinb A thumbs up for me too! 👍 🙂 5y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft I say go for it! This is my plan for that prompt.

84, Charing Cross Road | Helen Hanff

pick

Helene Hanff writes to Marks & Co. Booksellers to acquire a few books and winds up in a correspondence that spans year, and the letters exchanged make for a delightfully bookish collection. I loved it. Thanks for putting this on the list @Librarybelle because I probably never would have picked it up otherwise.
