Pickpick

First book in the trilogy of Ian Hamilton Mysteries. Set in 1881. I really enjoyed this historical mystery, a murder occurred and the body is found with an object, the murderer signature? It seems it is because other bodies are found with similar clue. This peculiar inspector, Ian Hamilton, will investigate these cases. Peculiar because his conversations/expressions are full of Shakespearean quotes. Love those parts.⬇️

Gissy (Cont.)...There are some funny parts, some murders are dark and there is a touch of family drama. I definitely will continue with this trilogy. 3.8⭐️
I received this book from @TK421 I haven‘t see a a Litsy post from him or his wife @Cobwebmoth in a long time. The swap was #StaycationInTime swap August 14, 2019,

@MittenGirlPeach chose cozy English Christmas as the theme and nailed it! I confess- I‘ve never had lemon curd- what do I do with it? Thank you so much! #staycationintime

Chrissyreadit 😍😍😍😍 7mo
DinoMom Lovely package. My grandmother always made lemon curd. She used it on a lot of things. Put it in tart shells, on her ice cream or would dip short bread cookies in it when having her afternoon tea 7mo
MittenGirlPeach I‘m so good you like everything! What a great idea for a staycation; I may steal it next year. I‘m a tea and toast lover, and I use the curd on toast. I also put it on scones and ice cream. I love the idea of putting it on shortbread cookies! 7mo
squirrelbrain Yes, lemon curd on toast. In the UK we use it like jam (jelly!). 7mo

#staycationintime Look at this wonderful collection of Icelandic goodies. I‘m in love! @Chrissyreadit thank you so much. The books are perfect. I currently have the lava bracelet on and am making this tea in my new aurora mug! I‘ve been to Iceland twice and have been to all the bookmark spots. What a great gift of memories. Thanks again for this killer box. Can‘t wait to start reading about the hidden folk.

DinoMom I choose Iceland as well for my travel and got one of the same books. I am looking to reading it. This is a lovely package! 7mo

Thank you so much for my riverboat journey, @tdrosebud - I love it! I'm so sorry that I flummoxed you with my vague travel wishes, but you did an awesome job interpreting it. Can't wait to dive in, so to speak. #staycationintime #staycatiinswap @DinoMom @Chrissyreadit

tdrosebud I'm so happy you like it! I don't think others would have been as flummoxed. As I mentioned, I'm very much an overthinker when it comes to getting things for others as I want them to be happy. So I'm glad the direction I took was good. Enjoy! 7mo
quietjenn @tdrosebud understood 😊 it was great though! 7mo
