Will be reading Her Last Breath by Hilary Davidson.

Challenge Complete
Key Word-- Case
Title--The Case of the Wandering Scholar
Author--Kate Saunders
This is #2 in a new series for me. Laetitia Rodd is a widow in Victorian England with a knack for gathering information and solving mysteries. Lots of English countryside and Victorian society, but with issues that are relevant today. A great cozy mystery.

I read The Book of Cold Cases and really enjoyed it!

[Cecil]

Challenge Compete!
Word - Breath
Book - Her Last Breath by Hilary Davidson
A good twisty thriller, told from two perspectives; the main character and the main suspect. Money, greed, status (or lack of it), lies, and toxic family relationships. It’s got it all.

Challenge complete.

I couldn't find something that I wanted to read with those keywords, so I just read my little boy a book with the keyword of case. The book I read him was called Chase's Space Case. He's 5 and absolutely loves Paw Patrol

JoAnne, I'll have to see if I can find those and try them. Out of my 3 kids, my youngest one is really the only book lover. We are currently reading Charlotte's Web.

Case: A Case of Two Cities by Qiu Xiaolong
#4 in the series Inspector Chen which takes place in Shanghai. I listen to the audio on these translated books. I'd never be able to come close to reading the characters names without listening to it.

My favorite book from childhood!

My younger daughter's second grade teacher bought each child a copy of Charlotte's Web and they read it together in class. I think she does it each year. :)
