pickWhy did the 9th Duke of Rutland, owner of the spacious Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, die on a couch in a cramped. cold, suite of rooms in the servants' quarters? In 1940, in poor health & fading fast, the Duke refused to be removed to more comfortable surroundings & insisted on being left alone in the rooms, which were then locked up & left untouched for 60 years after his death. But why?

I did it!! I think this is the first month I actually read all (well almost, I plan to finish The Last Animal tonight) #readyourkindle #readyourebooks picks.
Side note: I also finished the Seasonal Challenge on Goodreads (which I had forgotten about until last week & still needed 4 achievements) & the Spring Kindle Challenge.
Summer Break is always good for my reading goals.

A mutilated body washes up near the shores of Loch Ness. Logan with a new team,investigates this grizzly murder.A woman publishes pictures of the area which creates a “the Loch Ness monster did it!” frenzy. Questions arise of possible occult,& organized crime involvement. Again, another unforeseen (to me) ending that is twisted & dark. #serieslove2025
pickAn Aeluon, an Akarak, and a Quelin walk into a long-haul short-stop and end up in lockdown for a few days. The Laru host and her kid try to cater to their needs. They all learn a few things about themselves and the universe. Unlikely friendships are forged. Nothing much happens, and I didn't need it to. Possibly my favourite of the series.

Very confusing mystery for Jury. Who is who, and who dunnit are definitely in question. Can he solve it? Maybe... Different from most of his cases.

There were actually 3 separate incidents: the first one was tragic, the second was so banal I've forgotten about it already, whilst the last is arguably the worst of the three. It's difficult to say much more without giving any spoilers. 41m
