Hey lovely ladies! I'm sorry to be bringing you this months reading picks so late and for the fact that there are only 3 instead of the usual 4 books to add to your reading list. Things have been very crazy around here hence my absence. These are my favorite new releases I think you all would enjoy!

I enjoyed this book by Kathleen Ernst so much! It satisfied my cravings of both historical locations and light mystery. Not only does Kathleen do a fantastic job creating a narrative that sets you right in the Wisconsin Pendarvis location, but she created entertaining webs of of mystery that leave you endlessly trying to connect the dots.
When two teenage girls head to London on the train for the weekend nobody expects that everything would change. They were supposed to be enjoying one of their first tastes of freedom. They were supposed to be having innocent conversations with young boys they met on the train. They were supposed to go to the theater. But nothing happened as it was supposed to. When a woman who watched the young girls on the train comes forward with information her life is also changed. While she wrestles with her conscience for not trusting her gut, she never imagines her struggle is just beginning. This one event turned so many innocent lives around, but all they want is answers. Lies are discovered and pieces begin to get put together, but the truth was something nobody expected.
I am watching you is a refreshing mystery that is anything but predictable. It managed to creep me out and left me looking over my shoulder more than ever before. Lock your doors before you dive into this one!
Phyrne goes on holiday to Australia with her companions in this installment of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. Set in the 1920s, the group have planned to stay the summer in a home rented from an acquaintance and are eager to settle in and hit the beach, but another mystery awaits them in the home. The housekeepers who are supposed to be there to greet them are nowhere to be found. The mystery only gets stranger when they find that every single item from the pantry is missing as well. The sugar, tea, flour all missing. Nothing left behind. The police seem to brush it off and expect they did a runner, but when a few days later the couple’s beloved dog shows up on the doorstep covered in filth Phyrne decides that she must find them on her own. Something clearly is not right and she and her companions will get to the bottom of it.
This energetic mystery was a fun read, although I will say that at times I felt like the uninvited guest at the party who had no idea what was going on. If you can get through the unnecessary pages with the surrealist group and the sometimes too accurate to the times and place language then you will enjoy this light read.
