Kicking off the weekend with a new book!
pickThe Ghost Club (not in the database so I had to pick another book by the author) is an audio only book about London's ghost club whose members included Dickens, Doyle, and Yeats. Stories of ghosts and premonitions ahoy!
Today in Amazon Deals in the US. KWD is a great story teller, weaving the stories of London‘s killer smog and a serial killer.
pickOne thing I like about the Sloan and Crosby series is how Aird gently educates the reader on a different topic in each book. This one incorporates the waters near and of the sea, the people who live on them, and the constabulary‘s place there.
A body found floating on the sea near the mouth of the river was not as simple a case as originally thought - as Dr. Dabbe‘s post-mortem (and entertaining insights) discover.

Chores and a new audiobook! 😊🎧
pickThis is a narrow pick for me, as I‘m rounding up to account for my mood. There‘s some interesting information here about both the killer smog in London in 1952 and a serial killer who operated at the same time, and the politics and errors that enabled both. But, this felt like two different stories that were tossed together because of proximity in time and place, which did a disservice to both events. Neither got the focus they deserved.
I have found it impossible to pick an audiobook to listen to while I work over the last two weeks. I have picked up and put down a variety of books, from new fiction to old favorites, books that do and don‘t work for challenges, and I just can‘t stick with anything. I‘m trying out a nonfiction book that‘s been on my Libro.fm wishlist since it came out and hoping that if I post about it, I can stick to it!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kate Winkler Dawson is a good story teller, and I enjoy this style of narrative non-fiction. She weaves together two threads from the same point in London history: the Great Smog of 1952 (responsible for the death of 12,000 citizens) and that of serial killer John Reginald “Reg” Christie (responsible for the death of - at least - 8 women).

“It did seem ridiculous to many. Another committee?”
I get this vibe at work, too. A committee for the committee… 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
