Finally getting around to reading this novel that I found some time ago second-hand. Only a few pages in, but enjoying it already. Also love reading about #Detroit. #MittenLitten. Happened to visit some second hand stores today and it felt like #TimelessLove of some forgotten treasures.

I started this book last night. I used to be in Simon & Schuster‘s influencer program and they sent me a physical ARC of this but I never read it so I‘m reading it now. So far, it has a lot of medical terminology and I don‘t really like that. I‘ll keep reading and see if the book gets better but I don‘t know if I‘m going to be able to get into it or not.
pickGood mystery. Set in Philadelphia in 1875. Good historical detail. Main character is a doctor and the dead woman was her patient. A lot of time is spent describing her work with patients, which doesn't directly relate to the mystery. There are numerous clinical but graphic descriptions of injuries, blood, autopsy, etc.

Adore this display at The Book Barn. Visited today after not being able to go for over a year. Feeling very proud as I only bought two books 🤣😂😋😋
pickI loved this. There‘s no great plot here; the characters come along and you go along with them for a while, then you move on, and other characters come along, and you get caught up with them and their stories, then some of the earlier characters come back, and the fact it doesn‘t get disorientating or annoying is, I think, testament to the great writing. I feel like I got to know these characters so intimately that I‘m missing them already.
