A new month begins and I’m currently in the middle of two really good reads.
I wanted to read a mystery and I wanted a comfort book so I thought this means I need to revisit with a favorite series. Going back to favorites means you are already acquainted with the characters and can easily sink into the story.
So I chose A Study in Death by Anna Lee Huber which is the fourth in the Lady Darby series. Lady Darby quickly finds herself investigating the death of woman whose portrait she had been commissioned to paint. Not only does she feel some guilt about what led to the woman’s death but she is also concerned about her sister’s health and her own upcoming wedding. Definitely a lot going on but I am thoroughly enjoying this book. If you’ve not checked out this mystery series I encourage you to give it a try but I would recommend starting with the first book.
My other read is Not That I Could Tell by Jessica Strawser. A group of women friends had an fun evening outdoors, chatting, drinking and enjoying some downtime but the next day one of them is missing and all wonder how well they knew their friend and all the others. I can already tell that this is one where I’m going to have doubts about all the characters and think everyone is hiding something.
Of course I’m thinking what else can I add to the mix. Granted then I take a look at all of my HR material I’m supposed to be reading and well maybe I just stick with these two for a while. What about you, what are you reading to kick off this month?
Happy weekend everyone!
I just ordered Not That I Could Tell as my Book of the Month selection. Hope it’s good. I have thought about reading the Lady Darby series, but haven’t yet. Mystery group is this coming Wednesday night and it’s one of our ‘snack’ nights. Those are always fun. Plus talking about The Dry. April is a Sherlock Holmes theme and I’m going back and forth about what to read there.
I’ve got three books going right now. Two are nonfiction and the other one is The Last Hours by Minette Walters. Guess which one is hardest to put down. 🙂
Got your letter! Thanks for the tag–I DO use them as bookmarks.
These sound really good; thanks for posting about them.
I love the Huber series! Those are books I can read again and again. 🙂
I just added Not That I Could Tell to my reserve list at the library! It sounds like my kind of book!
I’m planning on reading Not That I Could Tell this month as well! I’m so intrigued just by the summary of it! I hope you enjoy both of these!!!
I haven’t heard of Not That I Could Tell, but it sounds like a good mystery/thriller. I’ll add it to my library list. Thanks!
Glad you are enjoying your books, I like going back to old favorites too. I’ve been reading a few romance novels, for myself but also a few for review. After I’m caught up, I definitely want to pick up Stephen King. Maybe an old fav. Happy weekend!
These both sound good, Iliana. I think I will be picking up a thriller next, but I am not sure which one. I hope you have a great week!
Not That I Could Tell sounds good! I’ll have to check it out. Hope you’ve a great week, Iliana!
