A dramatic cover and title:
Why Kill the Innocent by C.S. Harris, Sebastian St.Cyr #13
Genre: historical mystery
London, 1814, a brutal murder draws Sebastian St. Cyr into the web of the royal court, where intrigue abounds and betrayal awaits.
Queen Anne's Lace by Susan Wittig Albert, #26 in the China Bayles series
Genre: mystery
Setting: Pecan Springs, Texas
A present day ghost leads China Bayles to a secret from Pecan Springs's past in this haunting mystery involving early 20th century and 19th century lacemakers.
I finished reading a new to me Scandinavian mystery writer, Henning Mankell of Sweden.
After the Fire by Henning Mankell, October 1, 2017, Vintage
Genre: mystery
... an aging man's quiet, solitary life on an isolated island off the coast of Sweden is turned upside down when his house catches fire.
My comments:
| A very likeable elderly man, a retired surgeon, lives on a small island in Sweden, battling the elements and fitting easily into the island lifestyle he probably grew up in. The book covers a mystery solved, and new relationships to ease him into old age. |
