Winter Solitude

by Matsuo Basho

Winter solitude –
in a world of one color
the sound of wind.

I've you're following my posts you'll know I'm racing through the Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes stories at the mo. Dreaming Spies features Japan and some of Matsuo Basho's haikus, so here's one about winter for you. Deceptively simple, yet paints a picture of a 1000 words.

I can't get enough of this series at the moment. The long dark nights always have me racing through more books than usual as I try to keep the winter blues away. I love how involved the Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes stories are and I usually learn something new from reading them too. I've just finished Garment of Shadows, set in 1920s Morocco and this is next - looks like they may be off to Japan but I'm not sure yet. #MysteryNovel #Mystery

Mystery and Suspense is my favourite genre, so for #MysteryNovel have chosen the first book in six of my favourite crime series by six of my favourite female mystery authors. How could I just choose one! I strongly recommend all these series, The top three are set in the U.K., the others in the US! #ReadingWomenMonth

Looking back through my books read over the last few years, there aren‘t a whole lot that I would consider a #mysterynovel. When I was a teenager, I couldn‘t get enough of Patricia Cornwell‘s books, but I haven‘t read books like that for years.

Of the few I‘ve read, the tagged book stands out. More of a mystery/thriller, it kept me guessing... graphically violent and sad, but I was very entertained (and creeped out). 😱

Late post! One of my current reads is based on a #truecrime. But, did Grace do it? I'm also getting #mysterynovel vibes!

It has to be a Golden Age #mysterynovel for my taste. Three of the best with their ever-eccentric detectives (Dorothy L Sayers, Agatha Christie, and Margery Allingham with Lord Peter Wimsey, Hercule Poirot and Albert Campion) #readingwomenmonth @thereadingwomen
