Etiquette for Lovers and Killers | Anna Fitzgerald Healy
post image
Panpan

I love reading historical fiction, so I was excited to get to read Etiquette for Lovers and Killers by Anna Fitzgerald Healy. Alas, I was disappointed. I was so happy when I finally finished the book. It was very slow to me. It flipped between Billie McCadie's love life and her trying to solve a murder. It's set in 1964, and I found one thing that didn't match 1964 (could have possibly been more), Healy talked about a characters mustache ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read being like Burt Reynolds. I'm pretty sure that he didn't have a mustache until the 1970s with Smokey and the Bandit (I could be wrong, though). I did enjoy her prose. That and the ending upped this to a 2⭐️, instead of 1⭐️.

Enjoyed this historical fiction about a woman who went against the 1800s standards to make champagne. I couldn't help but root for this fiesty woman. 4/5⭐️

Mehso-so

2 1/2 ⭐️

It's a short book with 5 True Crime stories. The main one is about the I-70 Strangler. Herb Baumeister was a married man, but he had homosexual tendencies. He was committed to a psychiatric hospital as a youth by his father. His wife could count on her hand the number of types they had sex in 25 years of marriage. He committed over 21 murders. The other 4 stories are missing person cases and murder cases. Mine is not a popular ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read opinion, but the editing was not really done.

😊 Happy Reading 😊
