Preparing for the week ahead


Monday


 This weekend  I read THE AGATHAS byby Kathleen Glasgow & Liz Lawson. 1st of 2 in series.


 I really loved it. 5 stars. I read it in two days. It's a mix of A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER and Veronica Mars seasons one and two (not season 3). I look forward to the second book.

 Currently reading A DREAM OF DEATH by Connie Berry. 1st of 4 in series featuring Kate Hamilton, a widowed Ohio antiques dealer sleuthing in the United Kingdom

 


 On a remote island in Scotland, an American antiques dealer a brutal killing staged to recreate a centuries-old unsolved murder. Autumn has come and gone on Scotland’s Isle of Glenroth, and the islanders gather for the Tartan Ball, the annual end-of-tourist-season gala. Spirits are high until an unexpected turn of events takes the floor. A recently published novel about island history has brought hordes of tourists to the small Hebridean resort community. On the guest list is American antiques dealer Kate Hamilton. Kate returns reluctantly to the island where her husband died, determined to repair her relationship with his sister, proprietor of the island’s luxe country house hotel, famous for its connection with Bonnie Prince Charlie. Kate has hardly unpacked when the next morning a body is found, murdered in a reenactment of an infamous unsolved murder described in the novel—and the only clue to the killer’s identity lies in a curiously embellished antique casket. The Scottish police discount the historical connection, but when a much-loved local handyman is arrested, Kate teams up with a vacationing detective inspector from Suffolk, England, to unmask a killer determined to rewrite island history—and Kate’s future.

Published 2019; 315 pages. This may be my choice for the first scavenger hunt in August,

 Gotta go. Work is being a Monday.

Have a good day


 Much love,
