Going with another reread today since the sequel is languishing on my shelf and third book is also out… I don‘t remember how I got my hands on an ARC but I remember enjoying it when I read it the first time. We‘ll see if it holds up.

A taut,suspenseful,storyline that kept me reading far into the night.Cold-blooded assassin & master of disguise is on the loose.He has brutally murdered a “Land Girl”,who works at retired policeman Madden‘s farm.Madden joins in Scotland Yard, Chief inspector Sinclair,his old friend& coworker to hunt down this devious killer.As usual, the historical,architectural,& landscapes of both city & country are depicted with authentic sensory images.

This was my first read and introduction to Tommy and Tuppence. I enjoyed the mystery and the two young detectives even though it was a bit contrived and ridiculous but I found it fun and engaging. I would definitely read another book in this series.
pickEngland, 1543 - Henry VIII is aiming to marry his sixth (& final) wife, Lady Catherine Parr, recently widowed, but perhaps too sympathetic to Reformists for a king who has drifted back towards Catholicism in his old age. The line between acceptable & unacceptable religious practice grows ever thinner & innocent people are being caught in the backlash.
pick3.5 Stars • "The Sequel" by Jean Hanff Korelitz follows Anna Williams-Bonner, a widow enjoying her late husband‘s success as a novelist. When she writes her own hit book, "The Afterword," someone starts sending her threatening messages hinting at a dark past involving her brother and husband. Anna fights to protect her new life in this suspenseful, satirical take on publishing.

pickAnother good book by Erik Larson. When you read one of his books, you are sure to learn a lot. He researches his books like no one else does. Thunderstruck is about a murder, not long after the Whitechapel murders, and the man who invented wireless communication. Larson tells parallel stories of each man until the end when they cross.
😊 Happy Reading 😊

pickThe seconded installment of the Children‘s Home series does not disappoint. Like the first, Sigurdardóttir goes all in on story, macabre death and twisted pasts fracturing lives. Det. Huldar and psychologist Freyja don‘t take away from the story, which I liked. The book is a thriller and true page turner.
