Death at Morning House | Maureen Johnson

I found this just as enjoyable as Johnson‘s Truly Devious series.
When an old Manor House in Thousand Islands is open to the public,finally, but just for the summer, teens are hired to give tours. Murders - old & new- are solved.

Holy moly did Ma-Nee live through some terrible terrible shit. Her empathy, compassion, and generosity shine through. I found the tough parts really tough to listen to and so it‘s my third pick for #CanadaReads winner this year.

My favorite special edition has Luc in a suit, not a tux, so here are both versions of this cover 😁

This one had me at the Oscar Wilde quote in the front of the book. While it's a little superficial at times, the humor is excellent and tempered well with moments of authentic-feeling connection. I enjoyed laughing out loud and then tearing up, and I appreciate what Rowley has to say about the role that acting can play in giving one the opportunity to feel, explore, and express difficult emotions in a controlled environment.

ImperfectCJ Thinking more about this one and realizing that it feels to me a little like The Penderwicks for grown-ups. 4d

Yael is trying to escape the life their parents have planned. Margot is trying to save her family‘s business. Romance blossoms. Things become more complicated w/ a lost will, disapproving parents, & a patron not willing to let go.

Adorable! I wish the world building had been stronger, & I don‘t like time skips over important plot points. But I loved the characters, the setting was lushly green & cozy, & the romance was very sweet. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

This was so much more tense this time around. I don‘t know why. I guess I forgot how close to the end it was before things were okay again. Still, I loved spending more time with Luc and Oliver, and I‘m not so patiently waiting for their final book next year.

I truly adore this list… and adore, even more, that Oliver came up with it… then added two more items at Luc‘s request… then added an extra bonus item because he could.

GingerAntics And at least one Oxfordian… and a reference to academics if not an actual academic… 5d
