Welcome to Litsy!

Cat, coffee and a good read on a rainy Easter afternoon

A cozy murder taking place in Australia. The characters were mostly charming. The Fisher women were adventurous. They certainly had a flair about them. They seem to have talents many don‘t have. Ms Peregrine Fisher is the youngest in the current line. She finds herself entangled in a mystery that needs investigating and solving. If the shared genetic material with her Aunt has anything to do with it, no one should worry. 4/5⭐️

For the time being this is the last Beryl and Edwina murder mystery. Even though it was foreseeable at some points, it was a funny and twisted story. I am not sure if the series came to end with this one because the conclusion sounded a little bit like it and there aren‘t many citizen of Wolmsley Parva left to kill off. 😜😜😜

The secondlast murder mystery of the Beryl and Eswina series shows us more about their past at the Finishing school. They meet old acquaintances and of course somebody dies. 😜😂

💖A delightful end to this historical fiction trilogy. I enjoyed the story, even if a little bit less than the others.

Indeed it is!! 🤓

This was delightful. I enjoyed vol 1 but found it a little scatty and lacking plot direction. But by vol 2 it has hit its stride and there is more story. I like the wry tone and witty banter between the characters. A good comfort read if you like a comedy of manners with beautiful homes and cakes and a hint of romance.

This is fiction, but is based on/inspired by a true crime which culminated in the penultimate execution of a woman in Britain in the 1950s. It‘s told from the viewpoint of Zina and also her young Greek translator, Eva, and encompasses immigration, cultural translation and the treatment of women, particularly in the legal system, as well as the “whodunnit” element itself. The courtroom scenes are particularly sobering.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.
