I have not read a Sebastian St. Cyr mystery in quite some time. I do enjoy the setting so far: the gritty streets of London, the country church with its ancient crypt open to the sky now that a wall came down during construction. The power of the Church of England in spiritual, political, & social matters, is quite clear. And of course St. Cyr himself, a complicated,enigmatic figure. Only 55 pgs.in!
Current read....might struggle with the descriptions of the Ripper victims after Rubenhold shone a light on the truth about the women's lives. This book was published before so put it in the box Jane and read on 🤣

Finished reading the section due this Sunday for #sundaybuddyread - So enthralled with Silence for the Dead that I forgot & kept reading a little further before I realized it! Now starting tagged library book to fall asleep to. Just love libraries-discovered new authors today when I visited, this book being one of them.
so-soThis was ok. It‘s another series where I think I will not continue with, though. There were interesting parts, but overall not enough to keep my interest throughout, nor enough to make me want to pick up the next book.
Well trying to get a good picture on a moving train isn't working 😅
Anyway, the next book I pulled out of my bag is this bad boy 😊 Already loving Tessa's attitude and Will's sarcasm. Its definitely started strong for me so I'm hoping it keeps it up. First 100 pages devoured, 385 to go 😂
