Welcome to Litsy!

This was a very good mystery. One statement at the beginning of the book caused some dissonance with the ending. Still, it was a page turner.

This was a really good audiobook.

This is my real-life book club‘s pick for this month. This historical mystery isn‘t one that I would have normally picked up but it‘s a fast-paced read from a unique perspective in the early 1900s New York City. I‘m looking forward to discussing it this weekend and seeing what everyone else thought! #AudioColoring

I headed back to my comfort genre with this one. The difference being that the protagonist is usually middle to upper class. This one, she is a servant. New York around the turn of the century always fascinates me. I loves the setting, the mystery and the characters. I have already dives into book 2. #historicalfiction #historicalmystery #read #scribd #audiobook

Today was warm but now there it‘s nice and cool on the porch- symphony of birds. Perfect start to the weekend.

Something about the title caught my eye at the library and I picked it up. So glad I did! I generally don‘t gravitate toward mysteries but found myself thinking about this book and trying to solve the mystery during my workday. The historical setting also provided new information I found really interesting: anarchists? Coal mining? The robber barons? Sign me up! I will definitely be following this author to see what else she delivers.

My hubs is beginning to look askance at the piles of books slowly taking over our home, and yet I cannot resist grabbing up new books from the library. I see a Night of Little Sleep ahead.

Though I'm a mere 31 pages into this book, I can already say I'm loving it! From the writing style to the characters' interactions, I'm finding myself wanting to read more! Fredericks even ends chapters on cliffhangers. I haven't read a book that has done that in years. So far, so good!

Need a nice, quick murder mystery with good historical details, a bit of blood, and really pretty dresses? This fit the bill for me quite nicely, and I look forward to finding other books by this author. A nice ending that wasn‘t too tidy, either. Very satisfying.

A gripping historical mystery that will transport you to 1910 New York City! I loved this mystery, from the main character of Jane, to the setting, and the plot. The mystery was compelling and intriguing, and kept me guessing. I voluntarily reviewed an eARC copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley.

Witty and excellent so far and not what I was expecting.

Today's #bookmail including an adorable promotional wedding invitation.

Grabbed this off the ARC stack at Bookshop; was specifically looking for an eye-catching cover by a female author. Looking forward to reading something outside my usual genres!
