I finished the Robertson book, CIRCLE OF SHADOWS. It was very good.
I'm about to start LADY OF ASHES by Christine Trent. It is a debut histmyst, though it appears she has written other historicals previously. Here is a description:
In 1861 London, Violet Morgan is struggling to establish a good reputation for the undertaking business that her husband has largely abandoned. She provides comfort for the grieving, advises them on funeral fashion and etiquette, and arranges funerals. Unbeknownst to his wife, Graham, who has nursed a hatred of America since his grandfather soldiered for Great Britain in the War of 1812, becomes involved in a scheme to sell arms to the South. Meanwhile, Violet receives the commission of a lifetime: undertaking the funeral for a friend of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. But her position remains precarious, especially when Graham disappears and she begins investigating a series of deaths among the poor. And the closer she gets to the truth, the greater the danger for them both...
It was published February 2013 and has 420 pages. This is a Kindle loan from the library.
Tonight, not much on TV, I think, but will watch something with Steve for a bit and then read. No plans for the weekend .... Woot!
Much love,
