Welcome to Litsy!

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 🥰😎😌

1. Jimmy Perez of the Shetland series
2. Sometimes I can figure it out, and that‘s fun. I like to be surprised too though.
3. Adding the tagged book for an upcoming book club.

I‘m so glad I was finally able to participate in #NewYearWhoDis! @Laughterhp ‘s list pushed me towards some stuff I‘ve been interested in for ages and plenty of mysteries I might not have found on my own.

I managed to read 9 of the books in January. I loved the ones with hearts on them and really liked most of the others, with only two that just weren‘t to my taste.

I also have complicated feelings about ONCE THERE WERE WOLVES. Review pending.

Oh, how I adored this book! Allison Montclair imbues her post-WWII mystery with pathos and psychological depth, plus top notch banter between characters you absolutely cannot wait to read more about. You‘d better bet I‘ll continue the series. #NewYearWhoDis
