#SeriesRead2021 @TheSpineView

This is the third book in this series and definitely my favorite so far. A woman is found hanging in a churchyard and the mystery only gets better from there as Wesley Peterson tries to find out what happened to her.

Like the others in this series, Ellis blends historical fiction with a modern mystery and I really enjoy the combination of the two.

TheSpineView Fantastic! 2y
rwmg One of my favourite series 2y

Book 3 of the Wesley Peterson series. I'm enjoying this series more with every book. A woman is found hung on a tree in the church yard. Was is suicide or murder. As the archaeologists uncover more at the site, there seems to be a connection with this 'hanging tree'. I like the how the chapters start with blurbs written centuries before. The blend of archeology and mystery is well done.

These are the 4books I am in various stages of reading for this coming week. Paired each with their locales. Pemberley, Lizzie Bordon‘s house (now a Bed & Breakfast), “Stokeworthy Manor” in Kate Ellis book, a neighborhood in in the 1990s, Queens NY where Kendi spent his childhood years. I had such fun house hunting!

Andrew65 Some great books. 3y

First book in my #24in48 finished, and next book up. Fairly solid crime fiction, a decent read although I wouldn‘t scream about it to anyone.

Having a spot of lunch and half an hour‘s reading before I start work.

Managed to get some reading done while at the hairdressers (it‘s a training college, so they like that I read and let them concentrate on what they‘re doing), and while waiting in various queues in town. Multitasking!

First I have to turn these leather panels into notebooks, then I can finally get some reading done. I‘m enjoying the book so far.

This was book 3 in the Wesley Peterson series. There are two time lines running through this story. One from 1475 and one from (1969-1999) which tie together in the plot. An archaeological dig finds a body from 1475 who had been hanged from a yew tree and the 1999 body is found hanging from a yew tree. Is the present murder an execution as in the past or murder?
Unputdownable. Plots interesting, tie into history. Unique characters. Recommended.

Currently at 21 hrs and 2 minutes in the #24B4Monday Readathon.
I‘ve finished Morning Star and The Silent Patient, and hoping to finish The Undomestic Goddess by Midnight.

3 hours reading needed to get to 24 hours with 3 3/4 hours of the day to go.

BeansPage You're doing so well sweetheart just keep going!!! 🥳 5y
Andrew65 @TheReadingMermaid Thanks, can see the lights at the end of the tunnel! Hope you are over your bug. 😊💕 5y
BeansPage I am for the most part. My ear is still a little bit plugged but everything else seems to be okay. Thank you for checking in on me my friend ❤️🤗❤️ 5y

Andrew65 @JazzFeathers Thanks, I always like to put my all into challenges, and especially if I am hosting. Would feel wrong of me to encourage others and then not try to lead by example. 5y

This is the schedule for the Group Read of the third book in the Wesley Peterson Series we are doing on Librarything. The first questions will be posted on Librarything on Saturday.

EadieB Thanks! 5y
Tove_Reads @Andrew65 @EadieB Btw, getting Rain Dogs on Friday. I think we were supposed to start today. 5y
EadieB @Tove_Reads What should we read until Friday! Did you get The Stranger You Know Jane Casey yet? (edited) 5y

Tove_Reads @EadieB I did, and I was meant to just look at it, but ended up reading it... embarrassed 😳 But, I don‘t think @andrew65 has read the previous one. I should get the man from st. Pete on Friday as well. I do have Gone. And we have the Elizabeth George series as well. I gather Andrew is still really busy?! 5y
EadieB @Tove_Reads I guess we should wait and see what Andrew has available to read this week. @Andrew65 (edited) 5y
Andrew65 I am in he middle of reports so am going to struggle to read anything beyond finishing The Unhallowed Grave, and Evening Class, in fact unlikely to have much of any reading time until reports go out on Friday 12th. By all means read on and I will catch up during the Summer Vacation in late July and August. This two week period it is impossible to take any other commitments 😢 400 reports to read and write a paragraph as well as many other tasks. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Ok! Work comes first and then you will have time to read! Good luck! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Thanks, I hate this period. I need to read to stay balanced, which is even more important at this beyond hectic time of year. 5y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Let is know when you are ready for (all) our group reads! @EadieB 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Thanks. After 20th I have a lot of reading time available until the end of August so can play catch up. @EadieB 5y

So far so good, purchased last year. Love a good murder mystery especially those set within the uk.
