Thanks for the recommendation, Karen Lisa! I have a couple of her books on my shelves but haven’t read them yet.

Hi Lesley! Happy New Year! I just wanted to mention for historical fiction, check out Good Things I Wish You By Manette Ansay. She lives in my area and I went to a book reading for this book. She teaches writing at Univ. of Miami and she was a great speaker. I loved the book, a love triangle of Johannes Brahames and Clara Schuman. Really unique book.

I understand – I do the same thing when I come across reviews of books I want to read, particularly when they contain suspenseful plots. I’ll be curious to know what you think of the book once you’ve read it.

I had to force myself to scroll down without reading too much because I also love Sarah Waters. Can’t wait to read this!

The Little Stranger is so much better than The Night Watch, in my opinion (although I did enjoy that one as well, it’s just a completely different story and technique). I know, another book for the wishlist is a mixed blessing, isn’t it?

I know, so many books, so little time, right? I sometimes wish I could just touch a book and have its contents absorbed into my brain. Wouldn’t that be a great superpower?

It would be a perfect selection for Carl’s RIP challenge if you happen to participate in that one. Have you read any of her other books?

Marg, this one would be a good one to start with and would be a perfect fall read.

Any of hers would be great and I particularly recommend this one, Affinity or Fingersmith. They all share that sort of atmospheric, gothic sensibility.

Well, having your own law practice is a good excuse. When you get the chance though, do read it!
