What Fiction are you reading this week, September 18, 2022?

[hermetic]

National Library of Scotland

Reading An Unhallowed Grave by Kate Ellis, the third Wesley Peterson crime novel. A woman's body is found hanging from a yew tree in a local graveyard and then an archaeological dig uncovers another corpse from long ago who was supposedly hung from that same tree. Is there some connection? Wesley must discover as much as he can about the latest victim, but she appears to have been a woman with few friends, no relatives, and a past she has carefully tried to hide.

I'm also reading A Good Hanging by Ian Rankin. This is a collection of short stories about Inspector John Rebus. If you are a Rebus fan, you will enjoy these. I really liked one story wherein Rebus goes to the National Library of Scotland, one of the largest libraries in the United Kingdom, to do some research. (Yay, libraries!!) It is a real place, pictured above.

Listening to The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill. "An unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and shows us that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all."
