A couple of months ago I borrowed Dying in the Wool by Frances Brody from the library. It’s the first of her Kate Shackleton mysteries, four of which have been published.
It’s a cosy crime book set in Yorkshire during the early 1920′s featuring a World War One widow turned sleuth which I really enjoyed reading.
I’ve subsequently read the others, all of which proved equally as good and been perfect for sofa flying with at this time of year.
The fifth book in this series, Murder on a Summer’s Day, is due to be published in September.
Happy reading!
This sounds like it could be something I enjoy so I’ve popped it on my list of books to look out for. I enjoy stories set in Yorkshire.
Jo I think you may well enjoy these, especially as they’re set in your part of the country. xx
I’m not much into crime. I’ve been reading children/teen books lately. Currently reading Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder. Loving it. Happy sofa flying! Hope you’re keeping warm
Alison fair enough. I used to read some children/teen books when I worked in the bookshop. Thanks, and yes I’m keeping nice and warm. xx
I’ll keep an eye out for it in our library. I’m currently reading Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin.
Pianolearner hello, and thanks for commenting. I read her books occasionally and have read this one, which I hope you enjoy. Cheers.
Ooh, I like cosy crimes! I’m half way through Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series and starting Alafair Burke’s Ellie Hatcher series. Also about 2/3 into Michael Connelly’s backlist but I needed a break from Harry for a while
Still have a pile of audiobooks waiting.
Nikki me too. These are similar to Jacqueline Winspear’s Maisie Dobbs books, but I found them more enjoyable. It sounds like you’ve already got plenty of good books to read or listen to. xx
I’d just about finished the Maisie Dobbs series. Sometimes I’m sorry to see a series come to a close, but with MD, I was ready. I’m keeping your KS series in the running, though
Nikki I know the feeling! I’m sure that you’ll enjoy these. xx
