Linda Dobinson (baspoet) | 545 comments The Vanishing Thief (Victorian Bookshop Mystery #1) by Kate Parker - I loved this story, and I can't wait to read more about what Georgia and Blackford get up to.
The research into Victorian London was good and I thought the language rang true to the period.

Linda Dobinson (baspoet) | 545 comments The Highland Falcon Thief by M.G. Leonard - M.G. Leonard & Sam Sedgman - 23.1.23 - 5 stars. I love this series of adventures on trains. Hal uses his drawing skills like a camera - different and fun.

Anna Faversham (annafaversham) | 847 comments What I like about this thread is that all the books you have read you have given 4 or 5 stars. It shows you've chosen well and that you're a generous giver of stars!

Linda Dobinson (baspoet) | 545 comments I am happy to say to two books I am currently reading will continue the 4/5 star trend :)


message 7: by Linda (new)

Linda Dobinson (baspoet) | 545 comments Love Your Life by Kinsella Sophie - Sophie Kinsella - 2.3.23 - 4 stars. Kinsella is one of my favourite authors, and usually I like her heroines from the get-go, but it took me awhile to like Ava - hence only four stars. However, by the end, I did enjoy the story.

Linda Dobinson (baspoet) | 545 comments The Royal Assassin (Victorian Bookshop Mystery #3) by Kate Parker - Kate Parker - 14.4.23 - 5 stars. Middle class Georgia loves a duke, and, methinks, the duke loves her ;)
