pickThe second novel is the Lord Peter Wimsey series. A cozy mystery written in 1926. The story takes place in the countryside estate of Lord Peter‘s brother Gerald. Gerald is hunting with his soon to be brother-in-law. Lord Peter sees the headline saying his brother has been arrested and rushes to solve the crime. The humor of the English is ever present. This novel could be read as a standalone book or part of the series. 4/5.
pickVery much a soft pick for me. Overall I enjoyed it but it dragged at times and Wimsey sure does prattle on. I‘m not opposed to reading more in the series but it‘s definitely not a reading priority.

I went to my favorite indie bookstore to order something then stopped in for a late lunch and early #hyggehourreadathon at the local brewpub. While I read another chapter of this silly book, I‘m enjoying a spiced winter ale and some loaded nacho fries. There‘s football on the TV, but every time I look up it‘s in commercial.

Read the first book in the Lord Peter Wimsey Series for #AuthorAMonth. Overall I enjoyed this book, and a good start to the series. However I felt it was a tad slow for me and the type of crime fiction that tends to be written now. I would consider reading more but won‘t be rushing to, Quite a complex plot that took some working out by the lead character. 3.5 ⭐️ Soft Pick.

so-soThis was just okay for me. The mystery was pretty solid but slow (could have been the narrator) and it wasn‘t good enough to make up for the pretty consistent racism all the way through. I recognize that some of that is the time period in which it was written but, still no. #AAM #authoramonth @Soubhiville
pickThis is just a regular murder mystery. It has Agatha Christie vibes which I appreciate. This is the 2nd book in the series.
