Checked Out for Murder (The Haunted Library Mysteries, #4) by Allison Brook



My Review - 4 Stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I've enjoyed all the Graham Brack novels I've read so far, and the second in the Master Mercurius historical mystery series is another winner. Untrue till Death takes place in the Netherlands in the 17th century, full of murder and intrigue with the author's trademark humour.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Currently reading and enjoying it, what a gorgeous cover!!!!!!!

"Books are feasts for the imagination. Who cares if there's barbed wire around the walls. This is our escape. Right here, in all these glorious words. Between these pages, we can be free as the birds. We can go anywhere we please!"



A roller coaster read filled with steep hills, overcoming obstacles and trepidation of life's bumpy road. Through the characters' courageous actions, readers will travel along with them depicting a historical account of remaining brave during the darkest circumstances.

Just finished 'Sisters of War'


Lana Kortchik pens a heart-breaking tale about a lesser-known chapter in history when German forces occupied the Ukraine. In order to survive, the sisters find themselves at war and their decisions threaten to tear their family apart.

My Review - 4 Stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This was on NetGalley earlier, and #2 in the series is there for request now.
Interviewing The Dead by David Field is the first in his Carlyle & West Victorian Mystery Series. London, 1892, ghosts of plague victims - what?? A doctor and a preacher join forces to investigate.
3★ Link to my "Interviewing the Dead" review

Been trying to finish for a while now. Hope to read / review more for September.

Finished. Got HOMELAND vibes. Was okay.

Finished a disappointing read My Mother's Choice by Ali Mercer. I didn't find it at all 'heartbreaking or emotional'

Long Live the Post Horn! by Vigdis Hjorth.

Just finished "What Became of Us" and I give it 4 stars. It proves that you can't judge a book by its sweet cover as there are so many twists and turns to discover that will delight readers.

Maxwell unleashes a chain of events that will reawaken the past and expose guarded secrets.

Ready to start either:

I just finished Homeland Elegies.

A great non-fiction that's perfect for all cat owners/future owners. This one does only come as a Protected PDF or uses the Netgalley Shelf app due to the number of illustrations.

My Review
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Two five star reads in a row!
The First to Lie by Hank Phillippi Ryan the author had me tied in knots!
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and
my webpage https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...

The next book I picked up because I had the second in the series to read, and I didn't want to start on that until I had read Good Girl, Bad Girl by Michael Robotham which turned out to be the best read of the year (so far)

Cry Baby by Mark Billingham

Finished the excellent #2 in the Cyrus Haven series, When She Was Good: The heart-stopping new thriller from the mastermind of crime by Michael Robotham

https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...

I just finished The Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult.

Here’s a link to my four star review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just finished and absolutely loved Kristin Hannah's "The Four Winds."



Elsa Martinelli and her children moved west for a better life. The Dust Bowl and Great Depression forced families to leave behind their barren, dust-laden lands that they loved despite hardships. Elsa bravely lets the winds cast their fate at a new future in pursuit of the American dream.

Although this a fictional account, women like Elsa often wore the pants in the family. That chapter is often overlooked in history books but Hannah's "The Four Winds" gives homage to those heroic women.

My five-starred review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Started a wonderfully atmospheric piece of Australian fiction The Night Whistler by Greg Woodland
Finished Cry Baby by Mark Billingham which, although it is #17 in the series, is actually the prequel to the first book in the series Sleepyhead

My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

(This book is #7 in the Rowland Sinclair Historical Mystery Series and was originally published in 2015 but was reissued this year.)

Rowland Sinclair risks his beautiful yellow Mercedes S-Class and his life on the "Killer Track" speedway in 1934 Sydney in Give the Devil His Due by Aussie favourite Sulari Gentill.
