I‘m loving this series! Set during WW2, this 4th outing finds Ellie called on to aid Major Ramsey with a series of robberies that may be connected to a bigger German threat. She‘s also decided to investigate shocking allegations that her father may have been a spy. There are also developments on the personal side between Ellie and Ramsey (good and bad) which led to some frustration for me with some choices Ellie made. Great characters, great 🔻

robinb stories! Bonus…seriously beautiful cover. Recommended for Lady Darby and Verity Kent mysteries fans. 4.5/5⭐️ #coverlove (edited) 2w

Flew through the #audiobook today.

Veronica and Stoker needed some help to find the culprit and the identity of the victim. They might not have been at the height of their game, but it was an entertaining adventure nonetheless.

It didn't sound like this would be the last adventure either. 🥳🥳

The newest installment in the adventures of Veronica and Stoker - this one has all the banter and the adventure one expects plus shades of a good Frankensteinesque story. It was a fun read as usual!

Between a pick and a so so . Realised I don‘t normally read her books. However this one got me in at the beginning as Josephine sets sails on the Queen Mary. I travelled on this ship in the 50s as a child. We were on our way from the US to settle in Australia. It was a page turner for a while then it lost me and I struggled to finish it. My friends who are Josephine fans loved it. Say it‘s one of her best. So there you go!

CarolynM I tried to read the first one of these (because I‘m a Josephine Tey fan) but I couldn‘t get into it at all☹️ 3w

I‘ve been AWOL for what feels like forever; very depressed, dealing with hubby‘s medical issues. But reading this really picked me up. I love this series. Great characters, Raybourn‘s always fantastic dialogue, and a fascinating premise kept me hooked. Definitely recommend, even if you haven‘t read the earlier books in the series.

CBee So sorry you are struggling 😞 Hope things improve soon and glad you found a book that helped a bit ♥️ 4w

Book 9 in Veronica Speedwell series. Love this series! This one was perfect: intriguing mystery, fast pace, fun banter.

Jasper the cat rarely sits on my lap, but he joined me while I finished this book.

Who Cries for the Lost | C. S. Harris

Eighteenth in the Sebastian St. Cyr historical mystery series finds Sebastian (on the eve of Napoleon‘s second wave of forces) drawn into the murder investigation of a major with a long list of enemies…his mistress, his wife, and their governess, a fellow officer and a list of Napoleon‘s spies that he is transporting to the Regent. This one also adds in the intriguing side interests of old English folklore and the occult.
Lots going on 🔻

robinb in this one, turns and twists, and I enjoyed every moment. Harris is a pro at her historical research and at continuing to develop her characters who have never become static or boring during this enduring series. Her books are always auto-buys for me. 4.5/5 #BookSpin (edited) 1mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 1mo
