Murder on Pleasant Avenue by Victoria ThompsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Great seeing everyone again. Once again one of their own is in trouble. I did wonder who done it. I also know one character was not what she seemed. The story includes a lot of historical information woven into the setting and the plot. This series is holding its own with new and interesting characters and plots.

Hi Jo-
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a relaxing night in Little Rock.
Have a review request & book rec for your, a sci-fi alternate history mystery.
This story is a heart-pounding political satire set in 1941 NYC that eerily parallels Washington, DC today, the perfect novel for a US election year.
Your review would be due in March at Amazon, Goodreads, B&N, and your blog.
