June wrap up time! 11 books on the list, many of them highly recommended. What should I read in July?
historical fiction
A Lethal Lesson.
5/5 Stairs. A missing person, an unconscious victim, and a hit-and-run. There's a lot going on in King's Cove. Highly recommended for those who enjoy historical fiction/mystery, strong female leads (think Maisie Dobbs!), and mysteries that dive into not just the whodunit but the why?
February 2021 Book Wrap Up
I read some great books in February 2021, including three 5 Stair reads!
The Lions of Fifth Avenue. A mini review.
5/5 Stairs. Excellent historical fiction: takes place in the NYPL, features two female protagonists, and alternates between 1913 and 1993. Don't miss it.
An Extravagant Death – A Historical Mystery to Savor.
5/5 Stairs. The mystery itself is both straightforward and complex at the same time. There are plenty of suspects, and Newport even feels like a character itself.
