Seasonal Recs! #ihavequestions

Spring: Absent in the Spring by Mary Westmacott/Agatha Christie—It‘s in the title…😁
Summer: Mama Day by Gloria Naylor—major summer vibes: like a powerful, looming summer thunderstorm
Fall: Peace Like a River by Leif Enger—fall vibes, with a journey across the frozen Badlands
Winter: The Historian—I read this in winter in Germany so it‘s forever associated with snowy landscapes (and very effective blackout shutters)

This was a decent first in the series (#SeriesLove2024) featuring Agatha Christie‘s housekeeper, Phyllida Bright. It was a Christie meets Upstairs/Downstairs. I liked Bright and the other characters and look forward to more in the series.

I‘m in the Cotswolds!!! I had to do a little bit of research because the name of the town is a fictional place, but apparently it‘s based on a Cotswold village.

I‘m finally catching up my last few reviews from February. This was the last book I read for the #MaryWestmacottBuddyRead, and while it was worthwhile, I think it was the weakest of the bunch. The Westmacott novels have all been so rich in their character development and examination of human nature, but here, the plot she chose to explore these particular characters didn‘t seem to serve her purposes well.
