Prairiegirl_reading Have you read the other books in the series? I‘m wondering if this needs to be read in order? I‘m a stickler for starting from the beginning but someone suggested this for book club and I want to let it go if it doesn‘t matter that much. 2w
kspenmoll I have read these in order- my library has them. It helps to read them in order but I think there is enough essential catch up in the book so you can read just one. I am like you, If it‘s a series I like to start in the beginning. Not sure this helps but I think this one you can read as a stand alone. If you like it, go back to the beginning! 2w

#LaneWinslowMystery #serieslove2025 This book is a song to British Columbia, CA: it‘s mountains bathed in rainbows of light at sunrise & sunset,the lush greenery of its woods,its fields of colorful wildflowers,it‘s streams, & swampy humid riverbanks.It offers what war weary,Ex M16 WWII operative Lane Winslow needs,to be tucked away in a sleepy village across the ocean & a continent away.But her seclusion is abruptly interrupted when a man is 🔽

kspenmoll 🔼 discovered murdered on her property with a piece of paper in his pocket with her name on it.A chief suspect in the murder investigation,she decides to use her skills to solve the crime that incriminates her.Eventually she & Ins. Darling & Con. Ames join forces.The author includes psychologically astute stories of the trauma & challenging lives for survivors of both World Wars, both those in the trenches & those left behind at home.
