Welcome to Litsy!

Enjoy this series. Liked seeing the family together and watching MC interact with her mother. Enjoyed her defense of her sister‘s marital prospects in the face of their mom‘s aspirations for them.

I quite adore this series of cosy murders, the MC is an absolutely darling and her family is wonderfully dysfunctional (her mother's character development in this one was *chef's kiss*) and the veeeeery gentle sprinkle of romance is just right.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ◼️ I realize it‘s half the month and I just finished a book. #LitsyLove https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4558833799

I think this book is great. Follows along the story arc with family coming over from America. And a bit of murder. And injury. Overall a pick!

*And review of latest book*

The absolute BRILLIANCE of this is the characters. They are some of my faves from any literary world. This series= the pure definition of cozy mystery! It just makes life happier for a while. American heiress Francis and her partner in crime Mr Hazelton help solve crimes and go on adventures in Victorian England. While I wished for a bit more story progression in this new one ⬇️

Book 3 closes the dramatic arc started in books 1 and 2. On its own it lacks context for the new reader but as part of the whole series, Freeman waves a plot and character development faithfully in synch with the previous books. She gives depth to all her characters, female and male, principal or secondary characters. Characters that would be only plot point have shades. #netgalley #historical #cozymystery #arc

Next ARC in the pile.

I have mixed feelings about this one. Third in series, I need to go back and read the previous two to flesh out characters more. The writing was good (humorous, descriptive), but I had an issue with the pacing. The book felt too long for 250 pgs. The multiple “accidents” were not deemed more sinister until halfway through and by then I had lost some interest. The prior books both had good reviews so I feel I should go back at some point and ⬇️

Third in a series and up next for me.

And no, I haven‘t read the first two...😩😩😩🤞🤞

I didn't realise I hadn't read the series before, but I was able to jump right in without much confusion. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but thought it took accidents and coincidences a bit too far. Also, I could never shake my slight annoyance at the heroine. I'd recommend this to some friends, but I'm not sure that I care to read the previous books, not would I want to continue with the series.
