Finished January book

January: A Room Full of Bones by Elly Griffiths- Read 9 Jan - 4*


I started this series a few years ago and enjoyed this 4th in the series. Maybe not quite as good as the previous ones, and enjoyed catching up with the characters. I look forward to more of their stories and archaeological mysteries to solve in further books.

Finally tracked down and read my January book, We'll Always Have Parrots by Donna Andrews.
For some reason I couldn’t find it in either ebook or audiobook form, and a paperback was going to cost over $80. I eventually found a large print version in a library in a nearby town.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Wow! Hope it was worth it Helen!!! Glad you finally got it for free :)

In the bottom right hand corner of your original post, you'll see "reply/edit/delete/" - click on "edit", then do your star rating and date, and click on "edit post" and it'll be done :) Good luck!

Yes, it is a good series. I enjoy the archaeology and setting. Also the character development and their relationships. It is a series you get more out of by reading the books in sequence.
