I bought this in the West Kirby bookshop, on our way to the Gladstone‘s reading retreat this year. There are a number of books re-released in this collection.

This was first published in 1950 and opens with Faustina Crayle being dismissed from her teaching post at a posh girls‘ school. She‘s not told why & there doesn‘t appear to be a concrete reason but this is the second time it‘s happened.

This is a gothic-y detective mystery - I liked it!

RaeLovesToRead Gothicky detective, you say? Added to stack! 8h
LeahBergen I love this new imprint (and will probably have to buy them all 😆). 6h
squirrelbrain @RaeLovesToRead - it might even work for your Christmas Crime thingy…. 🤔😝 6h
squirrelbrain They all look fab, don‘t they?! @LeahBergen - I couldn‘t decide which to choose! 6h

I‘ve been meaning to read this forever- since the summer I lived in Asheville and his house burned down. I finally got to it this month, and while I‘m glad I read it I wasn‘t really wowed. Some passages though ripped my heart out. So it‘s a low pick. #192025 1929 @Librarybelle

BarbaraBB Kudos for finishing it. I wasn‘t able to 12h

One of my current audio books, narrated by Bronson Pinchot @ 40% and this soft surrealism novella feels like a bit of an acid trip to explain....🙃

LeahBergen My older brother loved this book and gave (confused) 15-year-old me my own copy to read. 😂😂 I still have it and I‘m still confused. 😂 18h
vivastory @LeahBergen lolol it doesn't seem like a book that gets clearer on rereads, but I'm definitely enjoying it now

Was unsure of where to start for this month‘s #AuthorAMonth and this was available on Spotify so I started today. Pleasantly surprised to find this essay collection is narrated by actor Maya Hawke, as we‘re in rewatch prep mode for the new season of Stranger Things. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Soubhiville I‘m gearing up for the new season too! 21h
Bookwormjillk I‘m ready for closure on Stranger Things! 15h
