It's Mailbox Monday! Mailbox Monday gathers together for readers the books that came into the house last week. (feel free to share yours) Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
Last week for the Kindle I got THE SCENT OF RAIN AND LIGHTNING by Nancy Pickard. This is a mystery author who I think really found her "voice" with her previous books, THE VIRGIN OF SMALL PLAINS. These two books are set in small towns, in the plains states. There's an openness, a vastness, and just a western, middle America tone to them.
A UK release from April got to me last week via Book Depository, REVENGER by Rory Clements. This is the second book in a historical mystery series set in the Elizabethan period. Love that era.
From Paperbackswap.com, came a book that I'd already read but I decided the series was good enough to go into my personal library. This is the second book of a series by C.S. Harris called WHEN GODS DIE, which features Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, an investigator in Regency England.
From the free books at the library's lobby, I picked up Margery Allingham's THE FEAR SIGN which is one of her Campion series and a lovely, lurid Pocketbook edition of a book called BLACK IS THE FASHION FOR DYING by Jonathan Latimer. I love Pocketbooks with their cast of characters in the front with sensational descriptions of each person we're to meet inside.
And that's it. I MUST finish the George. I MUST to read and do nothing else. Though I did watch episode five of The Tudors while having dinner -- ah, Catherine Howard has met her end. On to wife number six!
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
