Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
Better late than never, I finally read Anthony Horowitz’s Magpie Murders and loved the whodunnit within the whodunnit (especially the internal whodunnit, which was 1950s, small English village, so, basically, Father Brown without Father Brown). Then I treated myself to Lynda Loigman‘s upcoming The Wartime Sisters, set at Springfield Armory during World War II, tracing…

Where on earth has this week gone? Between the Barbados book and final proofs (!!) for the next Three Ws’ book (more on that soon!), I’ve been reading the second DI Manon Bradshaw novel, Persons Unknown, in fits and starts. But I have a lovely, large care package of books that was just sent to…

Happy Friday, everyone! This week, Karen White, Beatriz Williams, and I were hard at work plotting the third Three Ws novel (and maybe a bit of outlet shopping). But I did have a couple of lovely, long flights for reading time. This week, I discovered a new to me author, Susie Steiner, and her Manon…

With a Nor’easter howling outside the window, it would be a perfect day to hunker down with a book or two (if only there weren’t, well, life to attend to– hello, umbrella and boots!). This week, I finally read Kate Moretti’s The Blackbird Season, set in a dying Pennsylvania mill town and the scandal that…
