Last #bookspinbingo read squeezed in for January @TheAromaofBooks 📖 I liked the setting of this historical thriller - the author brought 17th century London to life, particularly the fear and panic of the 1665 plague outbreak. However, the plot was weak with far too many coincidences and easily resolved problems to help the heroes along.

TheAromaofBooks Great progress! 3y

Pickpick

A rollicking romp through a plague-filled London. Slightly overlong, I would've struggled with the physical book, but the narrator of the audiobook (Napoleon Ryan, if you please!) was so fantastic that even the more boring parts were entertaining enough!!

Sparklemn I took a chance on this one as an Audible daily deal. Worth it! 4y

Pickpick

I‘d call this a low level pick, but still a pick. It introduces Charlie Tuesday, and London in 1665. The Black Plague is rampant, and Charlie gets involved in a murder case. For a guy who usually finds missing people and things, it‘s a big stretch. And, of course, there‘s a beautiful woman involved. There are gruesome details, nefarious villains, and more.

Because our world and my recent dystopian reads aren‘t dark enough. I picked a book about solving a murder mystery during the Black Plague. I needed a #letterQ on audio for #LitsyAtoZ. So ... I‘m going in ...
