What am I reading?
I have finally managed to find a moment (or two) to read the last in the Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths. I was so looking forward and yet dreading reading the last in the series. Definitely not looking forward to a yearly dose of characters that had become good friends.
There was an engrossing mystery, danger for Cathbad – still suffering the effects of Covid — and the will they/won’t they finale for Ruth and Nelson.
I thoroughly enjoy it, although I think I may have read it too fast. In fact I may have to go back and re-read the entire series.
Thankfully, Elly has some other really good stuff on the go. Lots to enjoy there.
Part 2 – A new arrival
I was passing a chain store bookshop on Saturday when I spotted that Lucy Worsley’s Agatha Christie is now out in paperback. Resisting the 10% discount that my membership of the Society of Authors would give me, I walked on up to our wonderful indie bookshop and ordered a copy there. My granddaughter picked it up for me today and it is now sitting, enticingly, within reach.
While I was in the bookshop, I picked up a copy of Booktime, the industry giveaway full of the new season titles and I spotted this. Private Inquiries is the history of the female sleuth – the real ones, not the fictional ones and they go back as far as 1855.
It’s not out until October and it’s a hardback so a bit pricey. Will I be able to resist until there’s a paperback? I’m not sure.
