Finished MURDER IN THE VILLAGE
Saturday, April 6, 2024
Finished FOLLOW THE ANGELS, FOLLOW THE DOVES
I have now begun Murder in the Village, by Lisa Cutts. I think I am drawn to these murder mysteries set in English villages by way of loving the PBS series, Midsomer Murders. I am enjoying getting to know Belinda Penhurst, a 41 year old woman who has lived in a castle in this small village most of her life. Of course it is set in present day and the castle does not support itself, so Belinda has organized tours and books events to help pay the overhead. Her unpredictable brother often skirts the edge of the law requiring her to rectify his messes.

Finished MURDER IN AN ENGLISH VILLAGE
I have now begun Follow the Angels Follow the Doves, a fictionalized biography of Bass Reeves (black US Marshal born into slavery in Oklahoma.) This is a trilogy of books. This first book deals with the raising of this young slave, favored by his master, but carefully taught to be wary by his mother.

Finished BUFFALO BILL'S DEAD NOW
I am now about to start another Henry Melton YA Science Fiction story. I love his stories because they make me think and I believe they most likely make young people think as well.
