Welcome to Litsy!

Two women who barely know each other start up a marriage bureau in London after WWII. When one of their clients is murdered and they suspect the wrong person has been jailed for the crime, the two start to investigate for themselves. Really enjoyed this palette cleanser. Fun banter and great side characters (I would read this for Sally alone#) made me it easy for me to buy the next two books in the series.

No shame in my Shakespeare game. Checking another play off the list!

Glad that I finally got around to trying this series. Delightful listen. Nice that I have several more to look forward to. If you like Maisie Dobbs &/or The Emmy Lake Chronicles (A.J. Pearce), I think you‘d enjoy Iris and Gwen.

⭐️⭐️⭐️This is a story I would enjoy as a tv series, but as a book it was a bit too much silly banter and non-detectives doing detective work for me.It read like a light mystery while dealing with heavy themes, and when I finished, I did wonder what the characters will do next even though I wasn‘t very invested in the current story.So I think if you like British WWII mysteries, give it a chance.&if it ever gets made for tv, I‘d definitely watch it.

Three books I know I need to read this month…. The Right Sort of Man, The Once and Future Witches, and my #LMPBC pick which is The House of Salt and Sorrows. #busy #lotsofreading #bookspin #november

This is the first in a cozy mystery series set in post war London. Gwen and Iris have opened a marriage bureau - of course a client is murdered and naturally they want to solve the crime. But there‘s lots of interesting detail to liven up this trope. So fun that I immediately started reading the next available ebook I could borrow. The other book is on hold. 👍👍💚🐉

Recharging for the week ahead 🥰😎😌
