This was such a cozy read. I enjoyed the author‘s discussion of periodical archives at the end, too. The mystery was relatively straightforward but plenty of red herrings to keep you guessing.

Picture of me resting after chopping logs for the fire at my friend‘s NYE party. Happy New Year! 🎆

This was fun, light, fluffy. A good historical mystery that's not at all demanding with a dash of romance and feminism. I did like the "agony aunt" aspect to the story, though perhaps it does reveal that this is more of a pastiche with modern sensibilities. It reminded me a bit of Deanna Raybourn's Lady Julia Grey series, which I also enjoyed. I read this for the cozy mystery prompt for #CloakAndDaggerChristmas @Ruthiella

Ruthiella Light and fluffy murder mysteries are perfect for when we need that kind of thing! 🎅🏻🔪💀🎄 3mo

This is the first book in a cozy Victorian mystery series. I liked that each chapter began with a question to and answer from Lady Agony. I also liked the hint of romance brewing and the MC‘s aunt-in-law. Overall, I enjoyed it, but there were moments that either I wandered (totally possible) or the story did. #SeriesLove2023

An assorted group of characters are all gathered at a hotel up high on a Mediterranean island for Christmas. Then a couple of deaths that look like accidents occur. Closer inspection shows the individuals were murdered. In the meantime a nearby volcano is coming to life

Borrowed from Libby. I didn‘t know this is book 13 of 20 of Perry‘s Victorian Christmas stories. Setting is Italy 1866: after gathering on Stromboli Island there is risk of volcanic eruption. As they plan to escape, one of the group is found dead…

These are cute. This might be my favorite in the series (though I have not read book 4 yet).

Me and this book are sitting at the car dealership because jump starting the battery at the grocery store isn't cute.

Yes, my dad was back in the hospital for a couple days. This book kept me company. I loved how fun it was...whilst being peppered with great characters and mystery. This is the first book in this new series. If you like cozy mystery reads you'll want to add this to your list!

Jas16 I hope your dad is doing better. 7mo
