pickGood mystery. Set in Philadelphia in 1875. Good historical detail. Main character is a doctor and the dead woman was her patient. A lot of time is spent describing her work with patients, which doesn't directly relate to the mystery. There are numerous clinical but graphic descriptions of injuries, blood, autopsy, etc.
pickNeedle felted the world‘s tiniest amanita while finishing up this audiobook. I enjoyed it a lot - the intertwining stories of all the characters came to a good ending, which I liked all the more because it wasn‘t “perfect.” Solid Pick. #audiocrafting
#audiocrafting to a book set on Christmas Eve Eve, which has been a gritty, melancholy pleasure.
pickAn excellent historical mystery set in Philadelphia, 1875. The primary character is Lydia Weston, a physician at Women‘s Medical College of Pennsylvania and the book‘s debut author is herself. A doctor
Police discover an apparent suicide of a patient treated by Dr. Weston. The autopsy reveals that she was murdered and that she was a different person. The investigation reveals horrific crimes. A good read and, I hope the start of a series.
I've enjoyed every book I've read by this author. My first was A FALL OF MARIGOLDS and the last one was ONLY THE BEAUTIFUL. Both were such wonderful books. All of this author's books that I have read are so good. Well written and heart touching historical. I look forward to many more. If you get a chance grab THE NATURE OF FRAGIL THINGS. You won't regret it. All of her books are good so never be afraid to read any one of them.
5 stars
pickBook 1 of the Rosato & Associates series: Mary Denunzio is so focused on making partner in her firm that, at first, she‘s oblivious to being followed, even though she has a sense of something menacing…

pickA soft pick but with potential. 😊 This is a historical mystery debut centered around Dr. Lydia Weston, an anatomist and medical professor in 1875 Philadelphia. She treats a young woman in service as a maid in a wealthy home and is drawn into a friendship as she admires and encourages Anna‘s drive and yearning for further education. When Anna disappears, she works with an inspector and his sergeant to uncover what happened to her and discovers a🔻
pickI‘ve been reading this book off and on for several weeks. It was good but I wasn‘t as pulled into the story as other readers. I did love the Philly setting and learning about the devastation brought on in 1918 when the Spanish Flu swept through the world. This book was written pre Covid so I wonder what the author might have done differently. A story of a family, undertakers who must deal with the dying as both a business and personal tragedy.
Today, I‘m sharing a book I received in the mail today from Simon & Schuster. I‘m looking forward to reading this. It sounds like the perfect Fall read.
Book Summary: A historical mystery set in 19th century Philadelphia following a pioneering woman doctor as she investigates the disappearance of a young patient who is presumed dead.
