The Walking People | Mary Beth Keane

Themes: Family (especially sisters!), Ireland and NYC during 1950s to 2000‘s, Great storytelling!

I was hooked from page 1 of this beautifully written book 🥰 Mary Beth Keane has a gift for amazing storytelling and scenery setting; you‘ll shiver from the rain she describes and feel yourself warm up with her descriptions of drinking tea beside a roaring fire. A definite pick!!!

Why yes, I did “treat myself” to some tea after I cleaned up the kitchen post-dinner 😆👵🏼 Settling in for some ‘Finding Your Roots‘ with a little book reading on this crazy Tuesday night 😍🥰

Spent the last couple of weeks re-listening to this spicy 🌶️ historical romance. My favourite in the series because I have a crush on Cam ( Amelia is a lucky lady) 💚 🐉

Another stellar performance from Winspear. As I've said before and I'll say it again because it bears repeating, this series just improves with age. This was a bit different (although all of Maisie's adventures are unique) in that it involved both a current case and an unexpected 10-year cold case. The present-day case centers around fraud conspiracy while the cold case entails murder, lies and coverups. While both cases were absorbing,

robinb I found the cold case more compelling and heartbreaking.
Winspear's writing is always thought provoking, but this book in particular was a step above for me. There is a theme of fire throughout the story, with multiple connotations, that I found insightful and interesting and also well done in comparison to the character development of Maisie.

Again, wonderful reading on every level. 5/5 stars

robinb @kspenmoll thank you. 😊 The first book almost made me give up on the series. So glad I stuck with it. ♥️ 4mo

Not my favorite Maisie Dobbs. Still, always a nice visit.

I prefer Belgian chocolate. Specifically 70% dark.

Halloween chocolate treat would have to be coffee crisp or Mars they're tied for me.

🍫. Chocolat by Joanne Harris
☕. Hershey's Dark Chocolate, Lindt
🍪. Reese's, Hershey's Special Dark
*Judging by all the Reese's answers I think I buying stock could be a smart financial decision.

@WildAlaskaBibliophile #NationalChocolateDay

WildAlaskaBibliophile I love, love, love Chocolat!

And lol, buying stock in Reese's might not be a bad idea!
