Nothing. Doing nothing.

Currently reading DEATH OF A DISHONORABLE GENTLEMAN by Tessa Arlen. This is a debut historical mystery. Here's a description:

(Edwardian England) Lady Montfort has been planning her annual summer costume ball for months, and with scrupulous care. Pulling together the food, flowers and a thousand other details for one of the most significant social occasions of the year is her happily accepted responsibility. But when her husband’s degenerate nephew is found murdered, it's more than the ball that is ruined. In fact, Lady Montfort fears that the official police enquiry, driven by petty snobbery and class prejudice, is pointing towards her son as a potential suspect. Taking matters into her own hands, the rather over-imaginative countess enlists the help of her pragmatic housekeeper, Mrs. Jackson, to investigate the case, track down the women that vanished the night of the murder, and clear her son’s name. As the two women search for a runaway housemaid and a headstrong young woman, they unearth the hidden lives of Lady Montfort’s close friends, servants and family and discover the identity of a murderer hiding in plain sight.

Published in 2015, it has 320 pages. 

Steve comes home tonight from Vegas. I think the SHOT show wore him out by his reports.

Not much happening this weekend other than the usual cleaning, reading, napping.

Much love,
