I have not read a Sebastian St. Cyr mystery in quite some time. I do enjoy the setting so far: the gritty streets of London, the country church with its ancient crypt open to the sky now that a wall came down during construction. The power of the Church of England in spiritual, political, & social matters, is quite clear. And of course St. Cyr himself, a complicated,enigmatic figure. Only 55 pgs.in!

Current read....might struggle with the descriptions of the Ripper victims after Rubenhold shone a light on the truth about the women's lives. This book was published before so put it in the box Jane and read on 🤣

This book was utterly enthralling.A Victorian thriller,it traces a fictionalized life of Mary Shelley,author of Frankenstein.A brilliant piece of historical detective work.The author‘s Notes explain the extensive historical research behind the novel & how she drew her conclusions.”Psychologically penetrating”,she paints riveting pictures of Shelley,Byron,Percy Shelley,her step sister Claire,the Godwins.She questions the deaths of Mary‘s children🔽

kspenmoll And the suicides surrounding the couple. Searing, yet sympathetic inditement, of Mary as the author imagines, “What if?”. 3y

Finished reading the section due this Sunday for #sundaybuddyread - So enthralled with Silence for the Dead that I forgot & kept reading a little further before I realized it! Now starting tagged library book to fall asleep to. Just love libraries-discovered new authors today when I visited, this book being one of them.

This was ok. It‘s another series where I think I will not continue with, though. There were interesting parts, but overall not enough to keep my interest throughout, nor enough to make me want to pick up the next book.
