A travelling theatre actress and a former military surgeon are thrown together to find the Hellfire Club's secrets her brother hid before his death. A letter with clues sends them on a dangerous scavenger hunt followed by men who are ready to kill for those secrets. Naturally the two MCs are attracted to each other, but have their reasons/flaws not to turn their collaboration into a dalliance.

This could turn into a series.

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for this #ALC !

When a small group of bookstore employees are told to immediately shut down their bookstore, they decide to stay, refusing to leave to show the importance of the store to the community. The reader sees the story from the perspective of the manager Jo, as she and a half dozen staff keep the online bookstore sales running.

It‘s a fun premise. There is the power of books and their special ⬇️

The book contains twelve short stories based on Jane Austen's 'Pride & Prejudice' & 'Emma'. There are nine based on P&P, & three for Emma, but I enjoyed the P&P ones the most. They were all rather good, but two stood out to me: the one from the view of 'Hill', one of the servants at Longbourn, & the story based on what happened to Anne de Bourgh following Darcy's rejection.

Wow another great Harlan Coben novel. I am a fan of the books and this was another great one. The plot is fast paced and builds to one hell of an ending. Im not sure i can remember the last time when a book had me on the edge of the seat to see how it would turn out. The mystery itself is clever and leaves you guessing. I had theories but was only partly right. I loved Myron and of course Win, their friendship is incredible. #Netgalley

Self-styled 'Indian Herb Doctor', Francis Tumblety, has long been considered one of the suspect pool of people rumoured to have been Jack the Ripper. This book looks at Tumblety's life in both America & the East End of London, & finds that there is circumstantial evidence that suggests that he may have been involved in both the assassination of Abraham Lincoln & the Ripper killings.

Not what I expected, based on the blurb.

It's the end of the 21st century. A class reunion on a luxury space station. There are two ensembles of characters, the ones "below stairs" and the ones "above stairs".

The rich people "above stairs" have rich-people-problems. Foremost, how to outwit the MERIT system that could get them to Mars. They have known each other since school. They have drifted apart, but are happy to ⬇️

I have no words to describe how much this book enraged me…So I believe that it served its purpose.

Jane and John‘s relationship is full of red flags from the start. But they persist, get married, have a child…

And what Manguso does is take you along through a horrible roller-coaster ride that you don‘t want to get down from (because the writing is THAT good!).

Read this!

The stakes are even higher in this mystery when Vivian Kelly is the only suspect in a murder. She has a week to find another suspect for the corrupt commissioner, or she‘s going to jail.

This series just keeps getting better! The countdown did an excellent job of ramping up the tension, we learn more about Honor, & all the side characters are so good! Everything just built. Loved Viv‘s persistence & her reliance on her community. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
