I have discovered the Inspector Lynley series and am really enjoying it, especially since this one, the #18th, is set in Tuscany as well as London. It involves the kidnapping of a child by her mother, who takes her to Italy, where she again goes missing. Lynley is sent to Tuscany to facilitate the case for both parents.

I have The Perfect Nanny on-hold at my local library. I think there are about 250 people ahead of me though!
ReplyDeleteOoooo The Perfect Nanny...Never perfect. I am riding out the storm that took out our power at a friends. So surreal looking at all the downed trees and power lines cut in half. They say we won't have power to our area till Wednesday!! Have a good Sunday!

I've been eyeing The Perfect Nanny...and I'm curious about the others. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHere are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I'm interested in reading The Perfect Nanny. Have a good week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThese sound amazing. I hadn't heard of either before now. Hope you have a lovely week :)
ReplyDeleteI have Sold On A Monday and The Perfect Nanny as well. I can't wait to read Sold on A Monday. I love her work. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSold on a Monday looks great and I really like Elizabeth George. The Perfect Nanny looks good too -- great book week!
ReplyDeleteThese all sound intriguing. I've never read Elizabeth George and should look for the first book in the series. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI really like the quote you have at top. I don't really read trends, something that frustrates me a bit when it comes to the Goodreads voting b/c most books are the new ones. I like to take it one book at a time and pic something I'm in the mood for right then and there. The first book sounds interesting. Breaks my heart to think of situations like that and how it must have happened in the past before all of these laws.
ReplyDeleteI requested SOLD ON A MONDAY - haven’t heard yet
ReplyDeleteTHE PERFECT NANNY has a great cover.
Thanks for sharing....have a good week.
Sold on a Monday sounds like a fascinating but heartbreaking book. I'm currently re-reading Anne of Green Gables for a reading link-up I'm participating in.
ReplyDeleteSold on a Monday looks interesting though very sad. I used to love Elizabeth George but haven't read her in awhile. I hope you enjoy them all. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI love McMorris's novels.
