Happy Friday, all!

This week has been a new book bonanza for me, starting with the second in Charlotte Vassell’s brilliant DI Beauchamp series, The In Crowd, in which DI Beauchamp finds two seemingly unrelated cases (a dead body in the river and the very cold case of a girl’s disappearance from her boarding school over a decade before) unexpectedly intertwined.  Come for the mystery; stay for the snark.  I adore the writing style of these books and I hope she writes many more.

After that, it was through the wardrobe– or the forest, as the case may be– to Narnia for adults with Meg Shaffer’s The Lost Story, in which a girl’s search for her long-missing half-sister takes her into a story she never imagined.  It’s about magic and found family and growing into oneself, and, really, Narnia for adults about does it.  No lions, though.  Or wardrobes.

What have you been reading this week?
