Books Finished for the week: HEARTLESS by Elsie Silver 3 stars; KILLERS OF A CERTAIN AGE by Deanna Raybourn 5 stars

For a second (or third) book while I'm working my way through the Galbraith tome, I'll need a palette cleanser. 

This came loose from the library today in both ebook and audio so I'll give it a try. PLAID AND PLAGIARISM by Molly MacRae. 1st of 5 in series featuring Four women — Janet Marsh, a former librarian from Illinois, her daughter Tallie, a burned-out lawyer, Summer Jacobs, a former reporter, and Christine Robertson — who have just bought Yon Bonnie Books in Inversgail, Scotland, in the Highland Bookshop mysteries.


 Set in the weeks before the annual Inversgail Literature Festival in Scotland, Plaid and Plagiarism begins on a morning shortly after the four women take possession of their bookshop in the Highlands. Unfortunately, the move to Inversgail hasn’t gone as smoothly as they’d planned. First, Janet Marsh is told she’ll have to wait before moving into her new home. Then she finds out the house has been vandalized. Again. The chief suspect? Una Graham, an advice columnist for the local paper—who’s trying to make a name for herself as an investigative reporter. When Janet and her business partners go looking for clues at the house, they find a body—it’s Una, in the garden shed, with a sickle in her neck. Janet never did like that garden shed. Who wanted Una dead? After discovering a cache of nasty letters, Janet and her friends are beginning to wonder who didn’t, including Janet’s ex-husband. Surrounded by a cast of characters with whom readers will fall in love, the new owners of Yon Bonnie Books set out to solve Una’s murder so they can get back to business.

Published 2016; 279 pages.

Steve is home with a dreaded Man Cold. It's trying to get me but I am eluding it mightily. 


 No plans this weekend other than the sprints I'm hosting tomorrow afternoon. I had thought to stop by a used book sale but I won't now. I don't need more books honestly and I'm going to rest as much as possible. Walk Keo, read, maybe some crochet, napping, maybe some cleaning, etc.

Have a good weekend

Much love,
