I'm about to start A CRIMSON WARNING by Tasha Alexander. This is 6th of 9 in series featuring Lady Emily Ashton, a young widow in Victorian London. Description follows:
Newly returned to her home in Mayfair, Lady Emily Hargreaves is looking forward to enjoying the delights of the season. The delights, that is, as defined by her own eccentricities—reading The Aeneid, waltzing with her dashing husband, and joining the Women’s Liberal Federation in the early stages of its campaign to win the vote for women. But an audacious vandal disturbs the peace in the capital city, splashing red paint on the neat edifices of the homes of London’s elite. This mark, impossible to hide, presages the revelation of scandalous secrets, driving the hapless victims into disgrace, despair and even death. Soon, all of London high society is living in fear of learning who will be the next target, and Lady Emily and her husband, Colin, favorite agent of the crown, must uncover the identity and reveal the motives of the twisted mind behind it all before another innocent life is lost.
Published in 2011, it has 336 pages. I've tried to read this a couple times since it came out but just couldn't make it past the first few pages. I will try again. This is a digital loan from the library.
I didn't watch much of the Academy Awards last night, just bits and pieces of the last hour. I did catch the last part of Lady Gaga's performance of Sound of Music. I'm not a GaGa fan, but she was superb:
Just completely impressive.
Nothing on TV for me tonight so I hope to read.
Much love,
PK the Bookeemonster
