September 2021 Books Vs Moods

My last month's wrap up post was: August 2021 Books Vs Moods. This is my own spin on a monthly wrap up. These are the books I reviewed in September ( I will not say read because a lot of them were catch-ups from previous months) matched with the moods them might be best experienced in.…

Till Daph Do Us Part by Phillipa Nefri Clark

This is a first in a new cozy mystery series. It is not a very large volume and had an interesting premise, which meant that it would be a quick read. On that front, it delivered.This series has an unusual leading lady: The happily married Daphne, who recently started as a celebrant on the move.…

The Charlatan Murders (Elliott Bay Mystery #1) by Jennifer Berg
