pickA great cozy mystery. Bradley Harper uses two real people, Arthur Conan Doyle and Margaret Harkness, in a fictional setting to track down Jack the Ripper. Good characterization, steady pace.
This book is a stand alone novel as it ends with the death of Harkness. I would have liked another story involving the pairing of these two protagonists. Ah, well.
4 stars 🌟

pickI enjoyed this romance. The two protagonists were well drawn characters. The plot moved smoothly along. This historical fiction shows what life might have been like during the late 19th and early 20th centuries for mixed-race people in the Midwest.
4 💫 But, I think I enjoyed Midnight, another book by the same author slightly more.

I started reading this book yesterday and I'm over a hundred pages into this chunkster. Gripping action and believable characters.
This is the second book I've read by this author. Count on me reading more of her writing and reporting on it here.
You can find my review of Midnight, by the same author, among my recent posts here.

pickGreat look at how we and our culture deal with food. Waters holds out for real, fresh, home-cooked food that's more delicious than our culture allows us to see. Speed, convenience, and cheapness are the hallmarks of our fast-food culture.

pickA soft pick - good plot; enjoyable, realistic characters.
I didn't realize until I started this cozy mystery that it's the fifth book in the Lily Adler series. I haven't read the previous books, but I was able to follow the plot line and references to events probably covered previously in the series.
For me, it dragged a bit in the middle; but overall, the plot moved steadily forward. I may go back to the previous books.

The letter looked innocent enough when it arrived, nestled in the stack of the day's correspondence.

1. Took my car in for service because the check engine light was on. I only owed $50 because the car's still under warranty for another few weeks
2. The weather is cooler and windier this week, but at least it was sunny 🌞 ☀️
3. Put my bird feeder out with black oil sunflower seeds. Tufted titmice and black capped chickadees visited
4. Reading a great cozy mystery. Post about it soon
5. Thanksgiving coming

I'm not much into horror movies or stories, but I'll read a few a of these short stories written by female authors. Included here are some by authors not usually associated with the horror genre, such as Louisa May Alcott and Edith Wharton.

I've started this book, which I bought at the same time as Inferno. I hope I like it better (see my post of a few days ago).
