F in headscarf

The thriller Falling, by T.J. Newman, has attracted a lot of fans, and I can see why. It would make a terrific movie or mini-series. A terrible dilemma, lots of tension, and some good characters.

I was delighted to enjoy watching Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club solve the mystery of The Man Who Died Twice. It's every bit as good as their first outing, I reckon!

I have completed the Spring Challenge - one byproduct of a COVID lockdown means there is more time for reading. This challenge allowed me to find some new series from authors I knew and a couple of new author's.
I thought I might add another version of the Spring Challenge - and try to see how many of the items shown on book covers (or word/s mentioned) that I can find and create a new list to read.
8/8
1. ✅Umbrella - cover – The Mitford Scandal by Jessica Fellowes 4★
2. ✅Newspaper - cover– A Testament of Character( by Sulari Gentill 4★
3. ✅Chocolate - cover- The Sweet Smell of Murder (Chocolate Centred Mystery #1) by Cindy Bell 3★

Newspaper on the cover.

The Rowland Sinclair historical mystery series is terrific. He and friends travel around the world "between the wars" (WWI & WWII), chasing Nazis, dodging gangsters, mixing with the rich and famous (which Rowly is himself). Cameos: JFK, Errol Flyyn, F. Scott Fitzgerald among others.
