Welcome to Litsy!

I am really enjoying these mysteries. Prudence is much more assertive than most women of her time and “station”, but I like her. Realistic? I don‘t know, but the entire atmostphere/setting of the book is done really well, I think. With how these murders are happening, there is some gore, but that doesn‘t bother me. There was more going on than the murders in this book, so even when things appeared to be drawing to a close, there was more to come

I have completed the Fall prompts for #booked2019 and have one book left from Summer to complete the challenge! Except for Among The Hidden (3.5 stars) I consider them all 4.5-5 star reads for me!
The question by Lies that comfort and betray is because protagonist becomes addicted to Opium in the book, but the main story is the mystery.

Excellent mystery all the way around. Compelling characters, evocative setting, several suspects and lots of twists to the plot. I didn‘t realize that this is the second of a series. I want to go back and read the first book, but I had no problem not having the backstory. Thanks again, @tdrosebud

#nextup There are at least a half dozen books that are calling my name right now, but this one is the loudest. From my #cupidgoespostal gift from @tdrosebud and I‘m excited to start this.

So good! @Librarybelle I‘m positive I should be doing schoolwork but I am starting the third book in a few minutes. I‘m really enjoying these books. She does seem to have a formulaic style but I love the characters and the mystery was so interesting. And historical NYC. Highly Recommend.

Finished this last night before I went to sleep. This series is set in the late 1800s. Prudence and Geoffrey have set up a detective agency, very unusual to have a female detective in charge! The story develops around a " Jack the Ripper" copycat that takes place on the streets of NYC. They are racing against time, trying to find the killer before any more women are murdered. This is book number 2
3.5 ⭐️

My current read before it has to go back, 2nd in series.

I really LOVE this series! This is the second of three so far, and they‘ve all been top-notch! Here, a Ripper-like murderer strikes in New York. There are twists and turns and murder scenes not for the squeamish. 🤭 Great writing and character development, dark and macabre scenes and even a flea-ridden mangy street mutt named Blossom to save the day...what‘s not to ❤️?! Hope there‘s more of these to come! 4.5/5⭐️

So happy 😁 I made it to the library today! Picked up the next books from a couple of favorite historical mystery series! YESSSSS!!! 👊👊👊 Can you tell I‘m a tad excited???!! 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♀️
