Mrs Mac suggests - what to read in APRIL 19

We've had some lovely Spring days - today I was out without even a jacket (until the sun started to go down, taking with it the temperature of course).  I've put in a mini pond  in my garden, in the hope that at least a toad will take up residence..... I have given him/her a little shelter, should I be lucky.  I have a post with pics (dated 31 March 19)and will do another later in the Summer.

On to reading.  In April, I want to read. Hahaha!, of course I do, I always want to read!  But what; that's the question.  I have found myself reading a lot of books set between the two World Wars, and wonder if I should pick another.  No, a decision has been made now -


 I am going to finish a series.  

With one book left on my shelves of the Lewis Cole Mysteries, it's

Hard Aground - Brendan Dubois

There is another, but just published, so I'll wait a while before ordering the last.  I found them difficult or non-existent in the UK except for the first, so I was ordering second hand from the US (and it was fascinating to find that nearly every one available were ex-library books!)  So I found myself wondering where these small towns were.....

Have a lovely reading month, everyone.

  1. Oh my gosh, you are the first person I've found who reads this series set in the southern part of my state. I'm way up north. I love this series. I have read through book 10. I must read this latest one, too. I'm so pleased you read these books.

  2. Hi Nan! yes, I love them too. Mainly because I always like a flawed hero. And I love the continuity throughout the books. No-one I know over here reads them, except for the friend I pass them on to - and he loves them too!

Early One Morning - Virginia Baily

I was attracted to this novel purely by the cover (as I suppose this is meant to happen!) and it has very little about the contents on the b...
