Finished
. It wasn't a very good series IMHO, but it does have a pretty cover. ★★★.5 but the premise sounds much better than that.
Thanks, Marla. I need a T for one spelling challenge and a P for another, so that will work nicely for both :)
You're welcome. I like that series. I'm on Book #5.
I finished my book from Post #698:The Big Brush-off by Michael Murphy - 8/24/22 ♥♥♥♥
A good finish to what has been an interesting cozy mystery series set in the 1930's Depression era.
I liked that series too and was sorry to see it end.

Finished the book Marla chose for me and liked it more than expected. Although some of the characters were more than little silly, I'll read more from this series. A Case of Blackmail in Belgravia (Freddy Pilkington-Soames #1), by Clara Benson, finished 10/11 ★★★.5

Thanks! You must know how much I like Amos Decker - and how annoyed I am that I'm a book behind in that series :)
It’s possible those were factors in the decision.

Finished the book Jennifer chose for me, and am glad there's at least one more book in the series :) It's Baldacci, though, and he's not known for long-running series, so who knows how many more there will be?Walk the Wire (Amos Decker #6), by David Baldacci, finished 10/30 ★★★★

I hope :)"I read some VI back in the 80s when the Kathleen Turner movie came out. Not sure why I didn't follow up: recently picked up Windy City Blues and was reminded of how much I like her.
"Indemnity" will be a re-read but after 35 years I probably need the re-introduction. Thanks for the pick!
Also, I really liked
and the PBS series (same writer) is well worth a watch if you're interested.
Thanks, Heather. And Jennifer, I'll keep the PBS series in mind after I've read the book. I (almost) never watch a movie/show before reading the corresponding book.
