Welcome to Litsy!

Set on the Kentucky /Tennessee border in 1955, this atmospheric mystery novel follows Dave Hendricks, a WWII vet and former mayor, as he investigates the murder of the ne'er do well son of the richest man in town. This novel made me briefly wish I lived on a houseboat, while also examining the corruption and hidden costs behind the creation of Kentucky's man-made lakes. Author Silas House has said there will be a sequel--looking forward to it!

My favorite day was yesterday—the Kentucky Book Festival. Maybe not as good this year due to federal funding cuts, but I still found too many books to bring home. This is my stack, but I also bought 3 others for gifts. The tagged is my bookspin this month.
Today, I‘m continuing the bookish weekend by going to Bloomington (3 hrs away) to see Alix E. Harrow. Have we already met her twice before at signings in our own state? Yes, but should be fun

Really enjoyed this one- picked it up because the Barnes and Nobel bookseller told me it was up my alley (based on our quick convo and other books I was purchasing) and boy was he right.
