We started the morning with temps in the 30s but as each hour goes by the temp is dropping like a rock and will be in the negatives overnight. Winter in Montana.
I finished two books yesterday - the Michael Jecks which reminded me why I like that author and a WWI general fiction, SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE by Jennifer Robson. I have some 14-day books from the library that need to come first so next up will be MURDER AT THE BRIGHTWELL, a debut by Ashley Weaver featuring Amory Ames, a wealthy young socialite in 1930s England. Here's a description:
Amory Ames is a wealthy young woman who regrets her marriage to her notoriously charming playboy husband, Milo. Looking for a change, she accepts a request for help from her former fiancĂ©, Gil Trent, not knowing that she’ll soon become embroiled in a murder investigation that will test not only her friendship with Gil, but will upset the status quo with her husband. Amory accompanies Gil to the Brightwell Hotel in an attempt to circumvent the marriage of his sister, Emmeline, to Rupert Howe, a disreputable ladies’ man. Amory sees in the situation a grim reflection of her own floundering marriage. There is more than her happiness at stake, however, when Rupert is murdered and Gil is arrested for the crime. Amory is determined to prove his innocence and find the real killer, despite attempted dissuasion from the disapproving police inspector on the case. Matters are further complicated by Milo’s unexpected arrival, and the two form an uneasy alliance as Amory enlists his reluctant aid in clearing Gil’s name. As the stakes grow higher and the line between friend and foe becomes less clear, Amory must decide where her heart lies and catch the killer before she, too, becomes a victim.
Published in 2014, it has 336 pages.
