Where I am ... where I want to be today

 

 Tuesday. Cooler, dark and rainy, hence, the wish to be home instead of wasting a beautiful day at work.

I played with the beads last night. Learning the stitch for the upcoming class bracelet:

 


 And I'm going to be going with this combination:

 


 I think it will look amazing and classic. And the stitch was fun to do. I'm looking forward to this in a couple weeks. 

About to start reading WHAT THE DEVIL KNOWS by C.S. Harris. 16th of 16 in series featuring Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, an investigator in Regency England

 


It's October 1814. The war with France is finally over and Europe's diplomats are convening in Vienna for a conference that will put their world back together. With peace finally at hand, London suddenly finds itself in the grip of a series of heinous murders eerily similar to the Ratcliffe Highway murders of three years before. In 1811, two entire families were viciously murdered in their homes. A suspect--a young seaman named John Williams--was arrested. But before he could be brought to trial, Williams hanged himself in his cell. The murders ceased, and London slowly began to breathe easier. But when the lead investigator, Sir Edwin Pym, is killed in the same brutal way three years later and others possibly connected to the original case meet violent ends, the city is paralyzed with terror once more. Was the wrong man arrested for the murders? Bow Street magistrate Sir Henry Lovejoy turns to his friend Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, for assistance. Pym's colleagues are convinced his manner of death is a coincidence, but Sebastian has his doubts. The more he looks into the three-year-old murders, the more certain he becomes that the hapless John Williams was not the real killer. Which begs the question--who was and why are they dead set on killing again?

Published 2021; 329 pages.

 Tonight I've got Curse of Oak Island to watch. Steve has a board meeting. I'm making chicken and dumplings in the crockpot.

 


And then reading and bed. 

 

Have a good day

Much love,
