Is this not lovely:
Read: Cover Her Face – P.D. James ★★★☆☆ 📚 Country house mystery. Good fun.
Read: Deacon King Kong – James McBride ★★★☆☆ 📚
Took me a while to get into the rhythm, a meandering tale.
Read: Snow by John Banville ★★★☆☆ 📚
A nice trip to Ireland & crime fiction’s past. Country houses, local colour and character. Somewhat disrupted by the gory details.
Read: Burnt Shadows by Kamila Shamsie ★★★☆☆ 📚
Read: The Corner That Held Them by Sylvia Townsend Warner ★★★★★ 📚
Super book, full of small incidents, ageing, illness, deaths & disappointment in a 14th century nunnery. The Black Death, a phoney priest, riot, rape & murder. A really sense of time passing, & quite a few laughs.
