Penitence: A Novel | Kristin Koval

Pickpick

I love that this book went in a different direction than I expected after the first few pages. What I thought was going to be a legal drama ended up being about the lives surrounding the death of a teenager at the hands of his sister. Their parents and her lawyers have history and secrets that get brought to the forefront after years of avoidance. Guilt, blame, forgiveness and characters I would never befriend but a story I could look away from.

Jas16 Thanks again @amyg 4m

Loved this first book in a new time-travelling series.

And a map as endpapers. Nice touch!

#WhereAreYouMonday

I spontaneously decided to jaunt to Cornwall, England. This is a Christie title that I‘ve seen adapted, but never actually read. This will also help me get back on track with #OffMyShelf because I own a physical copy. 🤞

Lesliereadsalot St. Ives is one of my favorite places that I‘ve been to. And Cornwall itself is incomparable. Hope the book makes you feel like you‘re there! 5h

I loved the whole IA robocop. I did not know that it was a part of a series, so will be going back and reading the other books.

The Unfinished Clue | Georgette Heyer

I do enjoy Heyer's mysteries. Always bright and sparkling dialog and lots of humor in characterization.

Thank you for the kind comments and good wishes for my recovery from surgery. I've had a couple of set backs but am finally really beginning to see some progress. I've still got a way to go. I tire extremely easily and everything seems difficult to do, but I can see my progress so am feeling more positive.

A Dedicated Man | Peter Robinson

Influenced by the BritBox show,I started reading inspector Allen Bank series.This # two in the series captivated me from the start.A former professor,a “dedicated man,” inherited money & moves to the Yorkshire Dales to pursue his archaeological work.Everyone seems to love him,& yet he‘s found bludgeoned to death.What secrets are people holding, past in present?I was mesmerized & carried along as Banks pursued one lot of inquiry after another.⬇️

kspenmoll ⬆️ it was only until the very end, that for me, the book exploded into a totally unforeseen denouement.💖 1d

What did Victorian women do with their time? She hears Elizabeth's voice. You have to be able to make a posset, sew a seam and recite the Lord's Prayer. Can you do any of those things? Whatever your views on praying and sewing, they certainly fill in the time.

Last night, Ali took a book from the shelf...

kspenmoll This author & a posset? Stacked! 1d
