I have discovered a new, delightful heroine, and it's time I introduced her: everyone, meet Saffron Everleigh! She's a spunky, witty botanist working as a research assistant at the University College in London in the 1920s where she suddenly finds herself mixed up in a murder scheme when the wife of a professor drops dead at a dinner party. Though at first she might seem like the awkward, bookish type, she quickly finds her footing in the throes of the chase as she first tries to acquit her ...

WOMS: The Last Heir of Blackwood Library
I wasn't looking for a ghost story, but I am so glad I stumbled upon The Last Heiress of Blackwood Library by Hester Fox. Introducing mysteries back into my rotations of genres has allowed me to branch out a little, especially since so many I read are historically inspired. Okay, all of them are, but what I'm trying to get to is that I have found myself "accidentally" reading historical novels I wouldn't have necessarily picked up at first had it not hinted at some sort of mystery within its ...
WOMS: A Sinister Revenge
This week for "What's on My Shelf," it's a Veronica Speedwell mystery, A Sinister Revenge, by Deanna Raybourn! I've shared before with how much I enjoy the plucky heroine of this series, but more especially, how these books helped me fall in love with mystery again.

In this latest installment, Veronica and Stoker's relationship is a bit ...

WOMS: An Impossible Imposter
I've had to tear myself away from reading The Kingdom of Copper to write this, but for Deanna Raybourn's Veronica Speedwell---it's worth it. The latest Veronica and Stoker adventure was full of reveals and twists. Meaning, I'm not going to be spoiler friendly this time around, so if you haven't read An Impossible Imposter yet beware! Spoilers ahead! Now I realise I haven't shared any reviews of any installments from the Veronica Speedwell mystery series. I started it after I was well ...
