I love that most chapters begin with a pertinent epigraph from Jane Austin‘s Pride & Prejudice!
Rosalyn Thorne,a “most useful woman”of discretion & societal connections,is hired by Bethany Douglas,an old school friend,ostensively to find her stolen pearl necklace.Bethany‘s multi-generational family,who reside with her, harbor many secrets.Rosalind,with the help of Dec. Adam, has to wade through questions of fraud, blackmail, forgery,& murder.

I am so enjoying this audiobook, a first in a series of mystery novels inspired by Jane Austen. Each chapter begins with a quote from Pride and Prejudice which suggests just what unfolds. #serieslove2025 #jumpstart2025 #Read2025

kspenmoll @robinb I am excited to know there are more books ahead for me!!! 1w
robinb @kspenmoll My only issue is that there are two sets of the mysteries. The older set (5 of them) are listed as Rosalind Thorne mysteries. The newer ones (3) are listed as A Useful Woman mysteries. And unfortunately between the two of them they are not exactly in chronological order. There‘s not a big time difference but it is noticeable. Not sure why that happened? 🔻 (edited) 1w
robinb Relationship progression, location differences, etc. But you can infer things between the two sets. Maybe she stopped after the Rosalind Thorne‘s and when she started again with the Useful Woman she wanted to toggle back and forth between the two to call attention to both sets?? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

Have you read this book? And look at that gorgeous cover.

Begins with an excerpt from a murder trial then moved to alternating chapters and told of the life of high society and how they adapted social protocol to whatever they wanted.

Beautifully written as all of Ms. Williams‘ books even though it took me a while to get connected.

Patterned after an opera titled Der Rosenkavalie.

Today‘s Prompt: TAN/BEIGE

A CERTAIN AGE began with an excerpt from a murder trial then moved to alternating chapters and told of the life of high society and how they adapted social protocol to whatever they wanted.

Beautifully written as all of Ms. Williams‘ books even though it took me a while to get connected, but it was still enjoyable.

Prompt: SUNNY

CHICK LIT - FOOD - BOOK CLUB

"Hello Sunshine” normally meant someone was leaving a compliment on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram.

The day of Sunshine Stephens‘ 35th birthday didn't bode well for the “hello sunshine” greeting.

I enjoyed it and the wisdom of life decisions which was a major theme.

The last two books I've read I haven't really liked, and yet I've flown through them. Not sure how to reconcile that, but I'm hoping I'll read something that I really enjoy, soon.

Fav quote of the book: "Being in love is a condition, isn't it? It's like being depressed or being in a cult. You're basically underwater--people can talk to you about life on dry land, but it doesn't really mean anything."
