I like how Nancy stood up for herself even though she was scared.

This book ended differently than his other books. It was sadder and yet more inspiring. The female who became a spy was courageous and brave. I liked the book and would recommend it.

An Elderly Lady Is Up To No Good
by Helene Tursten

book cover


Despite being an unusual character who’s not entirely likable, I still wanted to be a fly on her wall, and revisit her. The wicked behavior is creative, funny, and her craven motivations are very human, and admittedly, relatable. Fun collection to dip into periodically.

I enjoyed reading this. So far I have read all 15 other books in this series and this one was good. Not my favorite but I liked it and I hope that there is another one after this one.

The Disappearance Of Astrid Bricard
by Natasha Lester

book cover


Set in the fashion world, primarily in the 1970s but also present day and early 1940s. This is historical fiction but definitely a blend of history and fiction, as the author details at the end. The main characters are fictional but real people abound. Beyond an entertaining story and a mystery, the book is a commentary on how people are portrayed in the media, how their stories and history in general can be shaped by the offhand comments when people don't look further. Good book.

Death Upon A Star
by Amy Patricia Meade

book cover


The author harkens back to the time where actors and actresses were king and queen and movies were all the rage right before the horrors of World War II. This book, which I hope is the first in a cozy series, takes place during the filming of Hitchcock's famous movie Rebecca. The plot revolves around a young Hollywood script supervisor, Evelyn Galloway, who finds herself embroiled in a mystery surrounding the murder of an actor from the studio she is working at. With the help of her room mate and others actors, she finds herself in an adventure that evokes the time and place of the early 1940's. I had seen Rebecca a few times previously and now after reading this "behind the scenes" (albeit fictional portrayal of Hitchcock and the main actors), I want to see it again. The mystery has a great ending and Evelyn then accept a job working on another Hitchcock movie, The Foreign Correspondent, so I hope that means there will be a followup. Likeable characters and very interesting plot. I found myself googling various people and events in the story to gain more insight. A fun read overall!

I didn’t really like how mean the family was, but I though Amelia was funny!
