Mailbox Monday – 18Apr16

April18

Everything that landed in my mailbox this week was ebooks: one ARC from NetGalley and two purchases.

Clouds in My Coffee photo clouds in my coffee_zpsgufve5eo.jpg

I was most excited about Julie Mulhern’s Clouds in My Coffee, due for release on May 10, 2016. This is the third installment in the Country Club Murder series set in 1974 Kansas City, Missouri.

The protagonist, Ellison Russell, widowed and “on the cusp of 40”, is smart and funny; and the electricity between her and Homicide Detective Anarchy Jones could run the lights in my house for a year. This time out, it seems someone is trying to kill Ellison, although no one can figure out why.

Wednesday’s BookBub mailing tipped me off to to Michael Alvear’s Eat it Later: Mastering Self-Control and the Slimming Power of Postponement on sale for $1. Although the title makes this sounds like a diet book, the author insists that it’s not, and I think he’s right. No doubt putting into practice what he advises will result in weight loss in the long run; but the goal, as Alvear say, is well-being.

I should write these things down because I’m getting old and forgetful: I can’t remember what twigged my attention to Karen Charlton’s Detective Lavender mystery series, set in Northumberland England in the early 19th century. Whoever it was, was talking about Charlton’s second or third book but intrigued me enough that I actually bought (at full Kindle price!) the first in the series, The Heiress of Linn Hagh.

Clouds In My Coffee sounds good. I really need some slimming power – Eat it later sounds like a worthwhile read. Have a great week Debbie!

I could do with that slimming book! It looks very interesting.

I’ve read Karen Charlton’s book ‘Catching the Eagle’ which also features Detective Stephen Lavender. Maybe you read about it on my blog? I enjoyed it and hope to read ‘The Heiress of Linn Hagh’ some time too.

I love historical fiction so I am especially attracted to The Heiress of Linn Hagh. By the way, it’s great to discover another Canadian blogger! And thanks for visiting my blog.

I’m a big fan of Julie Mulhern’s books and am looking forward to Clouds in my Coffee. I loved the first two books in that series, some of my favorite recent mysteries.
