My Book People order arrived! Thought it would be a good idea to work my way into crime thrillers through the historical fiction genre. These sound great! Anyone read them? I got all 3 for £5.99. #thebookpeople
Sophoclessweetheart I‘ve never read these but I‘ve heard Sarah Hawkswood is good. I‘m not a big crime thriller fan myself, finding them too violent and 99% of them having some heart wrenching child death/violence in them somewhere but I do like historical crime fiction and classic crime. X 7y
TrishB It‘s weird because I love a good thriller and I love historical fiction - but I don‘t like the two combined! Let me know what they‘re like, maybe I just haven‘t found the one for me! 7y
laurieluna @Wanderingwithwords yeah thats what I usually struggle with. It seems a lot of writers write to shock these days, like films also getting progressively more violent. I'm really tender hooks with this, which is why I picked these up as they sound a lot like Cadfael which I used to watch and love with my mum. 7y

laurieluna @TrishB will do! Might put the first one at the top of the tbr for May. 7y
theresidentromantic I always like a historical thriller that comes without the "oh no, a body" *six women faint*. 7y
laurieluna @theresidentromantic I'm hoping these have no screaming, fainting women. Yes some women react like that but it happens a bit too much in TV shows and books. 😬 7y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders These sound great! Adding to the list - I was looking around for a good historical mystery/crime kind of maybe a series. I like the sound of these. 7y
Beckys_Books Lovely covers 7y
lyradora Have you read the Brother Cadfael series? Or the St. Cyr books? The first are mysteries set in medieval England. The second is set in early 1800s England. 7y
laurieluna @Penny_LiteraryHoarders 🙌 always happy to have a hand in adding to peoples tbrs. Make me feel less bad about my own mounting pile 😂 7y
laurieluna @lyradora I didn't even realise there was a set of books! I just wanted the show with my mum. Shall definitely look them up 😊 x 7y
laurieluna @Beckys_Books that's what originally caught my eye about them. 😂 7y
Penny_LiteraryHoarders @miralunasbooknook 😂😁😂🤗 7y
