Status Updates From The Splendour Falls

A good twisty read.

After reading Lynn Put's comment section on Susanna Kearsley's Shadowy Horses (which I loved.) And I started thinking, wouldn't it be nice to read another Kearsley book and then POOF my hold on The Splendour Falls comes in. Magical thinking at work in the library system, who knew!
Already midbook and wonderful. With all the lovely descripsions of Chinon,I want to run off to France.

Am liking this book. Not a lot of history in it yet, more around the characters than Isabelle?

This is a contemp mystery. SK usually weaves together modern and historical tales but this time the old part is only about 3 pages. And it’s creepy to see King John through the eyes of a very much in love Isabelle.
Keeping the reader wondering about the crime(s) has a price: every one of them could be the killer. This goes in detriment of the romantic part since you keep suspecting them all. Overall a nice mystery.

Not one of her best, but good read now it's got going...

I'm finding this a lot slower than the other Susanna Kearsley books I've read. I still like it and will finish, but wanted a new start for the new year, so will get back to this after that.

On hold!
