Yes, I loved THE BLUE HOUR -- a fine novel reminiscent off Daphne du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith.

This is an actual Civil War “invalid feeder cup” beside an advance copy of my Civil War Romeo and Juliet, THE JACKAL‘S MISTRESS. One of the main characters is a Union officer who might have depended on such a device after being gravely wounded in 1864. (I love the research.) The novel arrives March 11 from doubledaybooks and has a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ rating after 50 reviews on NetGalley. Color me grateful!
