Another intriguing and confusing addition to the series. Confusing, in a good way, as you're never sure what will happen next. Lots of character development for Lynly and Havers as well.

I'm going on a bit of a review binge this morning. Sorry for the spam! 😂

I read this series back in 2019-2020, and loved every page of every book, so I'm rereading them!! My original review of this book said that it was like being wrapped in a loaf of warm, homemade bread, which is kind of a mixed metaphor, but you get my point. It's cozy, wholesome, and delicious. I think this book is practically perfect. All the stars.

My #bookhaul from the library today.
Do I have 4 books I'm in the middle of? Yes.
Do I have 2 successive books to read afterwards? Also, yes.
Do I regret bringing home another stack? Absolutely not. 😂

The Silence of Ghosts: A Novel | Jonathan Aycliffe

Written in the classical gothic style, this is a tale of a man who has been badly injured in WW2. (Written in diary/letters). He ends up staying with his young deaf sister in an old house which no one will go near or talk about. They and the caregiver begin to have experiences. After suffering more tragedy they come to learn of the house‘s dark past. This book kind of reminded me of some of Lovecraft‘s stories.

@AllDebooks THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING IN THIS PACKAGE! The 🍫 won't last long 😂

A yearly Xmas tradition in our house is to watch The Tailor of Gloucester, so I'm really excited for the tagged book to find out the meanings (although when I unwrapped it, I struggled to remember if there were any 💐 in the story! 😂)

The Fair Botanists has been on my radar for a while, so you've finally given me the motivation to read it 😂

AllDebooks So glad you like it. Enjoy x 3mo

The Grave Tattoo | Val McDermid

Difficult to choose my favourite book in #August for #12Booksof2023 as I read the next books in a lot of my favourite series that all got five stars, but going for The Grave Tattoo (a non-series read). This book has everything mystery, intrigue, compassion and a theory for what happened to Fletcher Christian of Mutiny on the Bounty fame. Loved both the past and modern time line and strongly recommend this, which I couldn‘t put down.

Andrew65 Think August was my best reading month of the year, and also notable mentions for An Evil Mind and Hunting Evil by Chris Carter, Lustrum by Robert Harris (book 2 in the Cicero trilogy), The Whisper of Sorrows and The Big Man Upstairs by JD Kirk, and The Wrexham Killings by Simon McCleave.

Also Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel.

All highly recommended.

Dead Ground | M. W. Craven

This is becoming a favourite series, and in book 4, poe is dragged from the court case about his house to assist Mi5 in an investigation set around a world leader summit in Cumbria. As poe and Tilly Bradshaw are drawn into a Web of intrigue, the mystery goes into events in Iraq 20 years earlier. This was my weekend reading and a definite page turner.

Tamra Nothing better than a page turner! 3mo

A Vicarage Christmas | Kate Hewitt

This was sweet and I wanted to like it but I couldn‘t quite do it. Characters made very big decisions very quickly, decades-old grief and mental health problems had turning points after single conversations, and people who‘ve had two conversations are planning lives together without discussing being in a relationship at all?

Also it‘s petty but the narrator kept mispronouncing Keswick and it grated so much, but the author couldn‘t have foreseen
