Another cover with a half-headed woman. I know this trend has been going on for almost a decade but I still take umbrage at the sight of these hidden, faceless, half-faced women. A way to render women silent?

2017: Open letter to the faceless 20 yr old on book covers:

Ruthiella I think what someone else suggested is more likely: if the face isn‘t recognizable, you might not have to pay the model as much for the photo. 3y
kspenmoll @Ruthiella Thanks for info. So the trend started for financial/practical reasons. Yuk. (edited) 3y

I love this series so much. It‘s a historical cozy mystery with a detective team. This is the newest book in the series.

HOTPock3tt I might try this series out... I like historical cozy mystery. 4y
Chrissyreadit @HOTPock3tt let me know what you think! Have you read the Kendra Donovan books? 4y
HOTPock3tt No! And I had no idea there were so many of them out! 😃I‘ve only heard of the first one! My fave cozy mystery is “a lady‘s guide” series by Dianne freeman. And of course I love “A curious beginning” series! 😍 by Deanna Raybourn... but that‘s a bit too 🔥 🔥 to be described as cozy LOL! 😆I might just have to check out those Kendra Donovan books too! Thanks for the recommendation Chrissy! 🤗 @Chrissyreadit 4y
Chrissyreadit @HOTPock3tt I love Deanna Raybourn. I have not read the other books yet. 4y
HOTPock3tt @Chrissyreadit I wait every single YEAR for a new Veronica Speedwell book to come out!!! I was so excited to hear that “A murderous Relation” won‘t be the last one! ❤️❤️❤️ @Chrissyreadit 4y

Fifth in a mystery series that I love. And even though I had deduced the villain before the end, their just desserts were especially satisfying. The plot was well rendered, the writing had a good flow, wonderful leads as well as their secondary cast, and I‘m happy that this series is progressing so nicely. Definitely recommend. 4.5/5⭐️
