Welcome to Litsy!

Loved this first book in a new time-travelling series.

And a map as endpapers. Nice touch!

What did Victorian women do with their time? She hears Elizabeth's voice. You have to be able to make a posset, sew a seam and recite the Lord's Prayer. Can you do any of those things? Whatever your views on praying and sewing, they certainly fill in the time.

Last night, Ali took a book from the shelf...

Geoff wants me to go back to the 1850s,' says Ali.

'Cool,' says Bud. 'What was happening in the 1850s?' Bud some-times likes to pretend that he's never heard of history.

'Crinolines, horse-drawn carriages, men in beards,' says Ali.

'Sounds like Hoxton,' says Dina.

From the library. I love Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway Mysteries and I love a bit of time travel so I‘m looking forward to reading this first book in a new series.

Alison Dawson can never cross Old Kent Road without thinking of Monopoly.

A great read, ends with an unknown so I'm hoping that means a new series.

Excited to have grabbed this off the express loans shelf!

I really enjoy this authors series that features Dr. Ruth Galloway. This is a new series by her featuring a detective by the name of Allison or Alie. She is a cold case detective with a twist. For me it was between a pick and a so-so. When the next one comes out I'll give it a go and see how I feel then.
