What am I currently reading?
My current read is a listen. I’m listening to the audiobook of The Lady’s Guide to Death and Deception, which takes the characters from Pride and Prejudice and puts them into a historical cozy mystery series. You can learn more about the book by clicking on the cover. This is book 3 of the series.
What I recently finished reading
This was a disappointing read for me, with a three-star rating. This series is about a brother and sister who own a restoration shop and cafe, and often encounter mysteries through the restoration shop antiques. Good premise, but it fell flat. I’m going to go ahead and put up my mini review here because it’s just not interesting enough to get its own page:
I had a hard time getting into this one. There isn’t much of a mystery. The book spends way too much time on the daily routines and lives of Cullen and Luna and their significant others, even up to the point of putting the uninteresting content of text messages into the story. It just wasn’t compelling enough to hold my attention.
I received a free copy of this book from Kensington Books via Netgalley. My review is voluntary and my opinions are my own.
What I’m reading next
Set in Cork, Ireland in the 1920s, this is Book 9 in the Reverend Mother Mystery Series. This one is set during Christmas. Click on the cover to learn more about this series.
Have a great reading week!

I finally tried a Fern Michael’s book about a year ago and I was unexpectedly disappointed by it, so I haven’t tried any more. Your current read/listen sounds excellent! Great first WWW 😊. Happy reading!

I love the idea of a Pride and Prejudice style cosy mystery – I shall take a look at that series.

I like a lot of the P&P retellings. This is a good one so far.

Gosh, I haven’t read a Fern Michaels book in forever. Her Texas series will probably always be my favorite. Sorry this one of hers was a let down.

Unfortunately I picked up a few of hers on Netgalley and they were not as good as I expected.

That’s a bummer. If you haven’t, you could try that Texas series. It’s so old you could probably find it at a library.

I am reading Secrets by Fern Michaels right now. I had a coworker years ago that always read her books.
