This was what it said on the tin: a cute, fun, Golden Age cosy crime. Set in 1941 in London and surrounds, this follows two main characters who are unhappily lumped together to puzzle out a case. This was the perfect curl-up-on-the-couch-with-a-cuppa sort of book.
November is knocking at our doors, and so is an army of new releases that all sound positively delectable. So get yourself a cup of tea and get ready to build up a fantasy shopping cart (or go wild, and actually check out once you have all the books you want, I dare you). Here are some of the awesome books on my radar for November!
A fabulous follow up to The Thursday Murder Club! I once again listened to the audio version narrated by Lesley Manville, and I can't recommend it enough. The narration is fantastic and the plot is just as good as the first time around.
This was unexpectedly spectacular?! I had [WRONGLY] assumed this book was cruising purely on baffling TikTok hype, but this is actually exceptional.
It's that time again! Writing these posts has turned out to be quite lethal, because since getting back into scouring the web for upcoming releases, my bookshelves have had quite a few extra additions to them ... the pre-order game is strong, friends.
Well, hello. It's been a while since I've posted anything other than a review - but here we are! Back in the good old days, I used to post regular upcoming release posts, and you know what? I miss doing that.
Another sensational Kate Quinn book. I loved every page of this and highly recommend it to Kate Quinn fans (as well as everyone else!) Though it may be somewhat different to her other books, being crime/mystery, it still has that distinctly historical-forward (and feminist-forward) tread to the plot that makes her writing so special.
A funny and page-turning crime mystery - set on a train! What more could you want?
A fun and mysterious fiction novel about cartography and the magic of maps.
Alex Hay's Downton Abbey-esque crime mystery – set in the cosy early-1900s London.
