pickLucy McNeil is back in the 12th instalment of the Lighthouse Library Mystery Series. When renowned YA author Todd Harrison shows up unexpectedly at Lucy‘s home wanting to discuss a private matter she is naturally intrigued as they are virtual strangers. Before Lucy can find out what he wants he is murdered on her deck. I have enjoyed all the books in this series and this one did not let me down! Thanks to NetGalley and Crooked Lane for the ARC.

“Cold rain soaking her boots, splashing her stockings, and leaking from the brim of her ruined hat and onto her face was the least of Saffron Everleigh‘s worries.”

I loved the first two books in this series and am looking forward to getting started in this one!
I‘ve seen a lot of misinformation about government employees on social media. One of the most ridiculous assertions is that government employees don‘t pay taxes. This is news to me! I‘ve been paying taxes on my wages since I started working in high school, through college, and as a #longtimefed for 35+ years. I still pay taxes on some of my retirement income. The same applies for teachers, firefighters, state workers, and other public servants.
pickI enjoyed just how the author portrayed the Queen‘s humanity in this book.She was quite likable to me & had me rooting for her! It‘s 1957, & Queen Elizabeth,new at her royal role,suspects someone among her father‘s courtiers intends to sabotage her reign in public.2 bodies are discovered in Chelsea that are possibly linked to her monarchy. She asks an ex-code breaker to help her unravel the truth. #serieslove2025 #4

pickReally enjoying this series. The first book was really good and this one was also. Looking forward to book three and hoping the series lasts because I‘m already attached.
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks of my December reads, the first of a series; the next two in the series are on this year‘s TBR list.

Hey! Looks like all Agatha Christie books are $2 today- which ones would you recommend? I‘m not going to get all of them but want to try out maybe 2 or 3, as I‘ve never read anything by her🙂📖
pickThis is the first Sparks & Bainbridge mystery that I‘ve read, so I was playing catch-up with the characters. That aside, it was a very enjoyable read. Set in postwar London, the titular characters are trying tie a new crime to an old series of robberies. The plot is pleasingly complicated, the history well drawn and the characters are interesting. The only bad news is that I now have a new back list to read, but I‘m looking forward to them.
