sunday spotlight






carpe librum 

seize the book - what a perfect thought! 

welcome book lovers


each Sunday myself and my BFF Ann from Romancing the Readers
will be featuring /shining the spotlight on a book or book related themes.  maybe it's a book we read and loved or maybe it's something we can't wait to read or a burning question we have...well you get the idea!

we also blog together on Book Club Thursdays (aka BCT) and on fridays (various features).

today my feature is:



From the moment Lucy met her husband’s mother, she knew she wasn’t the wife Diana had envisioned for her perfect son. Exquisitely polite, friendly, and always generous, Diana nonetheless kept Lucy at arm’s length despite her desperate attempts to win her over. And as a pillar in the community, an advocate for female refugees, and a woman happily married for decades, no one had a bad word to say about Diana…except Lucy.
That was five years ago.
Now, Diana is dead, a suicide note found near her body claiming that she longer wanted to live because of the cancer wreaking havoc inside her body.
But the autopsy finds no cancer.
It does find traces of poison, and evidence of suffocation.
Who could possibly want Diana dead? Why was her will changed at the eleventh hour to disinherit both of her children, and their spouses? And what does it mean that Lucy isn’t exactly sad she’s gone?


oops- i forgot to review this the other day - but that's okay- here are my thoughts now on this book that just just came out

this is my first novel by this author and it won't be my last

i really really enjoyed it and it was NOT exactly what i expected that's a good thing

a bit more of a character study driven domestic mystery- it's riveting and i was glued to the pages

smartly written and again - not what i expected, especially the hint of the sarcastic and heartbreak - HUGE FAN- buy this book

lastly i think this would appeal to fans of Sandie Jones Lisa Jewell and Liz Nugent
