Monday.
I finished the Nora Roberts book, INHERITANCE. I gave it 3 stars and one of those was for me for reading it.
I read BONES AT THE MANOR HOUSE by Emma James. 2nd in Dr. Bones and Lady Juliet historical mystery series.
Return to Birdswing, a tiny Cornish village, in the bitter winter of 1939 and revisit old friends as they embark on more amateur sleuthing. Lady Juliet is vexed by the return of her ne'er-do-well husband, Ethan Bolivar, while Ben's obsession with the Fenton House ghost deepens. When a bloodless, naked corpse is discovered in a great house in the nearby village of Barking, Ben and Juliet uncover lies, theft, illicit affairs, and a butler who just might have done it.
Published 2016; 376 pages. 4 stars. I love Lady Juliet.
Currently reading MURDER AT THE SEVEN DIALS by Cara Devlin. 1st of 7 in Bow Street Duchess historical mystery series.
A murdered opera singer. A duke drenched in her blood. For Bow Street Officer Hugh Marsden, the brutal killing is a straightforward case. Ever since his exile from polite society, the chance to arrest a high and mighty peer of the realm has never presented itself. Hugh won’t snub the opportunity now. But Audrey Sinclair, the Duchess of Fournier, is certain her husband is wrongly accused, and she’s determined to prove it to the arrogant Bow Street officer, even if she must employ her most peculiar ability—or perhaps curse—to guide her investigation. After all, a duchess can do as she pleases. Exasperated with the meddling duchess, Hugh is convinced she is protecting her own secrets, and the duke’s. But when Audrey’s discoveries persuade him to believe the true killer is still at large, he has no choice but to join her in the hunt—if only to keep her from becoming the next victim.
Published 2023; 317 pages.
It was a good weekend. Walked Keo three times a day. Thanksgiving dinner turned out spectacularly. Made a vat of soup for the cold days. Read a bunch. Napped some. Watched the new Dr. Who special (disappointed). And just generally relaxed.
No plans for tonight.
Have a good day
Much love,
