#ClearTheCozies

Historical cozy set in Adelaide in 1917. Kate Cocks is “officer in charge of South Australia‘s women police”. Her duties are largely involve assisting the ladies of the Travellers‘ Aid Society & patrolling the parks with her 5 foot cane to ensure that courting couples remain “3 feet apart”. But when real detective work is called for she proves she is equal to her male colleagues. Having grown up in Adelaide I enjoyed all the ⬇️

CarolynM ⬆️ local & historical references - lots has changed, but lots was the same in the 1970‘s and some things are the same even now. Interestingly, Kate Cocks is a real historical personage & the subject of the author‘s PhD thesis. The character she has created here uses much of what is known about the real person. A good read. #ozfiction (edited) 9h

This was a fun read. It was so interesting with the circus, the cruise ship, the murders. It was all one big spectacle. I can‘t wait to see what happens in the final book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First book of the year was a rare re read. I very seldom reread as there‘s just sooo many good books on my lists. But I love Sarah waters - one of my favourite authors of all time and 2026 maybe the year I revisit all of her books 🙏

BiblioLitten I was thinking about Sarah Waters last night! I goggled looking for any updates and realized that I hadn‘t read The Paying Guests yet and added it to TBR2026. Such a brilliant writer! 1d
BiblioLitten I also like The Night Watch more than The Fingersmith. 1d
Ruthiella Oh why doesn‘t she publish another? It‘s been 10 years since 1d

My October favorite was this imagining of Anne Frank‘s life before going into hiding. Starting out as just a young girl with young girl problems and then her world begins to change.

November 2025 Book #1

There is a movie adaptation of this book, it is not bad but I highly recommend to read the book first. This is a slow pace character driven story. The book August character, is so different of the the movie one, the actor is good but not same. In the book you will understand better that great twist at the end😱Maybe there was a sensation that the story was dragged out after the half part but then…the twist⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) starts to reveal the truth behind the murders…tan..tan..tan..tan…But the movie is so good in presenting that dark, mysterious, gothic atmosphere. I enjoyed it as you can see…I love character driven novels…😍4/4.5⭐️and I like that edition cover, giving a vintage look, stained with blood😳 1d
