Currently reading/Just finished! CLOSED
Just finished A Rule Against Murder by Louise Penny. This was a re-read for me, as I decided to start the series anew (was a long time between starting the series, and it has lots of characters, I felt I needed to refresh myself before going any further. From here on all books will be new reads.
Enjoyed it (again) and gave it 4 stars (again) but this time what struck me most was how unlikable the Morrow family was - including Peter.
Looking forward to the next one, love this series.

Second Sight by Aussie Author Aoife Cliffordhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Case Histories by Kate Atkinson was a re-read for me, and a good one, too! There's a new addition to the series (book 5), so I thought I'd catch up. Just as much fun this time around, and I think I enjoyed the characters even more.
