I'm just starting A MOST NOVEL REVENGE by Ashley Weaver. 3rd of 3 in series featuring Amory Ames, a wealthy young socialite in 1930s England, whose husband Milo, a charming rake, frequently vanishes for months.
“Well, darling, who do you suppose will turn up dead this time?”
With two murder investigations behind them and their marriage at last on steady ground, Amory and Milo Ames intend to winter quietly in Italy. The couple finds their plans derailed, however, when Amory receives an urgent summons to the English countryside from her cousin Laurel. At Lyonsgate, the country house of Laurel’s friend Reginald Lyons, Amory and Milo are surprised to discover an eccentric and distinguished group of guests have also been invited, led by the notorious socialite Isobel Van Allen. After years of social exile, Isobel has returned to England to write a sequel to her scandalous first book, the thinly fictionalized account of a high society murder at the very country house to which the Ameses have been called. Her second incriminating volume, she warns the house’s occupants—all of whom were present when one of their companions was killed years ago—will tell everything that really happened that fateful night. But some secrets are meant to stay buried, and when a desperate person turns to murder, it’s up to Amory and Milo to sort through a web of scandal and lies to uncover the truth, and the identity of a killer.
Published in 2016, it has 321 pages.
On TV, I have The Flash to watch. "Paradox"
Barry realizes the effects from Flashpoint are much greater than he thought. Meanwhile, Barry meets new co-worker Julian Albert and is surprised by Julian's immediate disdain for Barry.Afterward, I'll probably read in bed.
It started snowing about 4am. It has stopped and the streets are probably sloppy. The ground is too warm for things to stick around. And it will be in the 50s/60s again tomorrow.
Have a great day
Much love,
