My June 2023 books reviewed. I thought the best was #ClytemnestrasBind by #SusanCWilson.

This cozy has been on my radar forever so again can't wait to read my goodness so many books so little time. I recently discovered the Countess of Harleigh series by @diannefreemanwrites so really happy this is @cozychallenges pick for February. The best thing about book clubs are the new books you get introduced to. They enable my addiction #diannefreeman #diannefreemanauthor #countessofharleighmystery #cozyauthor #cozymysterytribe #cozymysteries #cozycrew #cozymysterycrew #bookworm #cozymysteries #cozymysterylover #books #mysteries #mysterybooks #bookaholic #readaholic #addictedtobooks #bookstagram #addictedtobooksforlife #cozymysteryreader (at Durham, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ59BIRMG6e/?utm_medium=tumblr

I suspect you only wish to marry me because I indulge your sense of the macabre - and supply you with your favorite beverage. - A Lady's Guide to Mischief and Murder by Dianne Freeman ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ I had a fantasy rich TBR planned for the month, but my brain has informed me that was not going to happen. I gave in to my brain, reading a contemporary romance, a m/m romance, a few historical romances, now this cozy mystery. The first in this trilogy pulled me in with the cover and the title, A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder. The Countess Harleigh mystery trilogy is such a fun time and I'm really enjoying the last book. ☆Do you get upset when you can't stick to your TBR, or do you roll with it?☆ ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ #readersofinstagram #bookstagram #bookswelove #bookaholic #booklover #booklife #amazingseries #aladysguidetomischiefandmurder #diannefreeman #countessofharleigh https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzqgM0Aobg/?igshid=1sct7e1dc7ip8

🎉 Happy Pub Day to A LADY’S GUIDE TO MISCHIEF AND MURDER by @diannefreemanwrites 🎉 . 🔍 . This is the 3rd book in the Countess of Harleigh Mystery series. I don’t know about you, but I’m always ready for a little murder and menace in the English countryside! . 🔍 . Thank you to @kensingtonbooks and @tlcbooktours for sending me an early copy! London is known for its bustle and intrigues, but the sedate English countryside can host—or hide—any number of secrets. Frances, the widowed Countess of Harleigh, needs a venue for her sister Lily’s imminent wedding, away from prying eyes. Risings, George Hazleton’s family estate in Hampshire, is a perfect choice, and soon Frances, her beloved George, and other guests have gathered to enjoy the usual country pursuits—shooting, horse riding, and romantic interludes in secluded gardens. But the bucolic setting harbors a menace, and it’s not simply the arrival of Frances’s socially ambitious mother. Above and below stairs, mysterious accidents befall guests and staff alike. Before long, Frances suspects these “accidents” are deliberate, and fears that the intended victim is Lily’s fiancé, Leo. Frances’s mother is unimpressed by Lily’s groom-to-be and would much prefer that Lily find an aristocratic husband, just as Frances did. But now that Frances has found happiness with George—a man who loves her for much more than her dowry—she heartily approves of Lily’s choice. If she can just keep the couple safe from villains and meddling mamas. As Frances and George search for the culprit among the assembled family, friends, and servants, more victims fall prey to the mayhem. Mishaps become full-blooded murder, and it seems that no one is safe. And unless Frances can quickly flush out the culprit, the peal of wedding bells may give way to another funeral toll. . . . . 🔍 . #jennblogsbooks #aladysguidetomischiefandmurder #countessofharleigh #tlcbooktours #kensingtonbooks #diannefreeman #historicalfiction #historicalmystery #unitedbookstagram #booksbookabooks #newbooks #pubday #mysteryseries #bookishflatlay https://www.instagram.com/p/CDNM0dylpz2/?igshid=turyrq27qw31

What Ladies don't do

I don’t know if this had a previous book and was the second in a series – it did read as though it was and there was information about Frances and George that we were missing. However, I tried to ignore the fact that I really wanted to know more about how they had met, and what, if anything, his job/occupation had to do with it, as I could quite imagine a good story that was missing, as this story was different. NB I found out later that this was book 3 in a series.

Certainly, I have never encountered a house party story with quite so many ‘accidents’. That clearly were intended for someone – but hadn’t yet quite managed to complete their intention.

It did look as though one particular person was the intended victim, but the clues were also there for yet others to be the victim – or victims.

Not a deep book nor is the story a psychological thriller, but a fun murder and mayhem type of plot that would make great dinner theatre.

I’m giving it 4 as a play rather than a novel.

Ps – the fashion as you can see is not intended for any sports – and I remember my grandmother wearing a similar corset and that might explain why she claimed an 18 inch waist on marriage! Note that Bloomers for women were similar to golfing trousers and came in as women attempted to ride a bike in their dresses and found that they couldn’t!
