I found this receipt tucked into the book I‘m starting today. I was confused by shipping charges from my local indie. I order online from them a lot but I drive the short distance to pick up my order when it‘s ready. Then I checked the date: April 12, 2020. It must have been one of the first orders I placed during lockdown once they were allowed to have one or two employees at a time working to keep their business afloat.
pickI fell behind on this series. I wish I hadn‘t, but this was the perfect book to break a slump. I love Harris‘s writing style, and it‘s great to be back in her version of Regency England with Sebastian and friends. The ending felt a bit rushed and too neat, but I can overlook that in favor of the joy I get from reading the rest. Too dark to be considered a cozy, but not so graphic as to be unbearably traumatizing. TW in comments.
pickI might have been on a tiny little murder spree these past weeks, thanks to #EasterCrime. @Leniverse
My latest adventure took me to Regency London where Sebastian St. Cyr was on the hunt for the person who murdered a bishop. A case that revealed secrets that had been buried for decades.

pickEighteenth in the Sebastian St. Cyr historical mystery series finds Sebastian (on the eve of Napoleon‘s second wave of forces) drawn into the murder investigation of a major with a long list of enemies…his mistress, his wife, and their governess, a fellow officer and a list of Napoleon‘s spies that he is transporting to the Regent. This one also adds in the intriguing side interests of old English folklore and the occult.
Lots going on 🔻
pickAnother good book in this excellent series, however I don‘t think this was as good as some other books in the series. There seemed too many variables and suspects at play, and the author seemed to keep her cards close to her chest. But this is still an excellent series and I look forward to reading the next one as events in the series took an interesting twist.

I received this book long time ago in a book subscription box, page habit which is not longer working. I didn‘t know this is book 13 in a series. But I will like to read book 1 What Ángels Fear because it sounds like a good series

pickI‘m racing through this series! 3rd book in 2 weeks! Historical mysteries are one of my favorite genre. So glad I finally started this one. I love the characters more and more as the books progress. I‘ll be jumping ahead to book 8 to join @Andrew65 on Librarything for a group read of the book. Join us if you are interested! Andrew creates wonderful questions and the discussions are lively, fun and informative.

pickFinally, finally, finally getting to this series.
I promised myself I would not start a new one until I finished one of the 32 other series I am currently reading.
Fail! But this was worth it. A great first book. Love Sebastian! Love the Regency Britain historical setting! Appreciate a Magistrate (police officer) that is neither a buffoon nor an antagonistic pain in the …. Lots of great characters! Looking forward to more. #serieslove2023
