Storygraph July 2024

 Goodness! OK this was my first month with covid so yep I read a lot! 11! But a lot were quite quick reads, so without further ado! The wayward alliance, do you know I do t actually remember much about this! Maybe more to do with my mindset than the book? Hold your tongue, I had forgotten about this one! Really good and it's set in Aberdeen too, must look at getting more of hers, I do like a gruesome serial killer story and this fitted the bill, enough twists and turns to keep me engaged. Vampire knitting club and Tagnghles and Treason, the first and the prequel in the vampire knitting club series, I ADORE these hooks,don't know why I didn't rate them I should have, writing a cozy is actually quite difficult and Nancy Warren does it marvellously I'm invested in the characters and the plot skips along nicely. Year of wonders what an amazing book based on the true story of the village of Eyam which cut itself off to stop the spread of the plague, loved this one. Vow of silence, just cojld not get to grips with this book, I have more in the series so will try with the next one. Trial of Gwen Foley, loved this book, engaging loved the characters plot skipped along nicelywell deserved 5 stars.  Next 2 - False Truths and Dangerous Lessons - Bunbury mysteries,  i have to declare i know the author, Olga Wojtas writing as Helena Marchmont, a lovely lovely lady but her books deserve 5 stars, great character development loveable characters and great story lines and the plots fairly skip along too, love them. A rising man, I really really really wanted to like this one  but I inky gave ut 3 stars and I remember why I didn't like it, too over blown, it just felt in dire need of a good edit. Kings investigator, yup DNF it was dire sorry but 😬it was. Wool on Audible well another DNF but thus time it was the narrator I really couldn't take to them, will ftry the book, lov3d the TV series. Bluebird bluebird,  yes this didnt really grab me not enough to DNF but maybe I wasn't in the mood?
