Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Reading Reality. It's a place to showcase any books I have purchased, borrowed, or been lucky enough to have been given an advance copy of.
Hope you find something that looks interesting to you or that makes you remember a favorite book you need to finish. Happy reading ya'll!
Lady Helena Investigates by Jane Steen (Scott DeQunicy Mysteries Book One)
Kindle Purchase: Free today (Book Bub newsletter)
I'd come across this series before and today the first was free on Kindle. In 1881 Sussex, Lady Helena mourns the death of her second husband (her first also dying under mysterious circumstances) and works with a French physician to find out if it was murder or not. In doing so she becomes more aware of her own family's secrets and realizes there is a lot she doesn't know. Looks like romance, mystery, and family drama in one novel.
Bones at the Manor House by Emma Jameson (Dr. Benjamin Bones Mysteries Book Two)
Kindle Purchase: 99 cents this week
This one doesn't take place in a favorite era of mine (1939) but it is in a small Cornish village and involves a ghost, love triangle and a dead body. It is book two and I'm always averse to starting that way but it was cheap and I'll just look for book one eventually. It is unique and so I wanted to go ahead and grab it! As if I don't have enough cozy historical mystery series to read, lol.
Marguerite: The Story of Marguerite of Anjou by Judith Arnopp
Kindle Purchase: 99 cents this week
I had seen this book advertised heavily lately and was intrigued. I love Marguerite as a subject of history but I admit the subtitle "Hell hath no fury!" kept me away. It just seemed a little too theatrical. But I'm going to give it a try because it may turn out to be a great. The author has written several books about other historical figures and people seem to have enjoyed them.
