Meh.
First entry in the Chicago Mystery, and it promises to be a great series. The primary character, Cass Raines used to be a cop. She left after being involved in a shooting caused by an incompetent cop who escalated what should have been the arrest of a teenager. Now she‘s a PI, and in this story she‘s seeking the killer of a priest who cared for her when she lost her mother. Good story, great characters. Well worth reading.
That was a fun listen. One murderer was a surprise to me and another was not. I liked the way it ended as well. Pretty chilly today. #audiowalk
I still haven‘t figured out the murderer here, but this has been an enjoyable read so far. Took a tad bit of a turn that I wasn‘t expecting, but that‘s okay. I love to watch the windsurfers when they are out on the bay. They look like they‘re having so much fun. #audiowalk
Chapter 16 and I‘m really just now getting to the part where the amateur detectives start sleuthing. That‘s okay — I haven‘t been bored. Beautiful day for a walk, but I was slower than usual. My azaleas are really blooming now. #audiowallk
Making the most of my Sunday, by doing very little 😏
Not the best in the series, but still an enjoyable “cosy” read. Phryne is such a wonderful character.

Murder Most Royal (Her Majesty the Queen Investigates 3), by S.J. Bennett (2022)
Premise: Her Majesty‘s Christmas celebrations are interrupted by the discovery of a severed hand on the beach near her Sandringham Estate, a hand bearing a signet ring she instantly recognizes.
Review: This is another solid entry in this charming series. The Christmas vibes were fun, and the setting of the end of 2016 added an interesting element to the story.

Currently reading for my book club. Not sure about the story yet, but the cover is definitely a win for me!
