One of my more recent favorite series, each book delightful in its own way. I need more queer historical fantasy like this in my life ✨

so-soBook 4 marks the end of the Edwardian Murder Mysteries. Lady Rose & her friend (her name escapes me at the moment) are funny & do get into some hilarious situations and as always Davina Porter is excellent. 3⭐️

so-soBook 3 in the Edwardian Murder Mysteries is just ok. Very similar to the first two books and nothing stands out, but they are easy listening fluff narrated by the amazing Davina Porter. 3⭐️

pickI liked book 2 in the Edwardian Murder Mysteries series better than the first. Lady Rose & her “companion” crack me up. These are fluffy cozy mysteries narrated by the amazing Davina Porter who does a great job with the various accents. Can‘t go wrong with M.C. Beaton! 4⭐️

Bear with me while I catch up on a month of reviews!
pickMy favourite part of the trilogy! Enemies to Lovers is just so up my alley. Marske is still continuing the main plot, so every now and then the romance part is reduced, but I think it's good, that the main plot comes to a good end. The series wasn't a highlight, but I enjoyed reading the books
so-soI‘m on hold for the next Hamish book so I decided to dive into another cozy mystery series by M.C. Beaton, this time set in the Edwardian era. It had its funny moments & the narrator did a great job with all the voices, but it didn‘t capture my full attention. It‘s not bad, just not my favorite. 3⭐️

pickBook two in The Last Binding trilogy, and in this one, we are searching for the second object that forms part of the Last Contract.
I wish I'd learn from my mistakes and would read series without gaps. I read book one over a year ago, and it took me a fair few chapters to get back into this world.
I did, however, get back into it, and while I didn't love this adventure as much, it was a decent read, and it was nice to get to know Maud better.
pickA low Pick. It's enjoyable and can be read without knowing the first book in the series. But for me it was lacking on atmosphere and chemistry between the characters. Even though they were written quite well, I never felt close enough to really care about them or their case.
(And yes, I need to finish my reviews before 2025!)
so-soThis was a different type of mystery, with elements that confused me (though I‘ve been reading this for a few months with breaks, so I may have forgotten why certain things happen). Truelove reminds me of Amelia Peabody, though I like Peabody a bit more. The ghost of Queen Victoria speaking to Truelove was odd. So-so book for me.
