The Librarian of Crooked Lane - C. J. Archer
Tumblr media
The first book of the sequel series to Glass and Steele.
Having lost her brother in the Great War and her mother to Spanish flu, Sylvia Ashe is struggling to make her way in post-war London where no one wants to hire women anymore now that the men are returning home.
Upon discovering in his old journals that her brother suspected he was a silver magician, Sylvia sets out to find famed magician India Glass in the hopes that she will be able to help shed some light on her family history. Instead, she finds India's son, Gabriel, and becomes entangled in his investigation of a stolen magician-made painting.
This series is shaping up to be just as effortlessly addicting as any of Archer's other books. I am looking forward to uncovering the mystery of Sylvia's past, and it looks like Gabe has some secrets of his own that have me intrigued!

The Librarian of Crooked Lane by C. J. Archer
Tumblr media
2.5 out of 5.
The Glass Library 1
Set in the London of 1920. Sylvia Ashe is an assistant librarian at the London Philosophical Society, reluctantly hired by Mr. Parmiter who would prefer a man in the position, but only men without scars, physical or mental, from the Great War. She is alone in the world, having lost her brother in the War and her mother a short time later to the Spanish flu. Daisy, an artist, is her only friend.
An article discovered by Daisy about the heroic attempt to rescue a fisherman and his son by veteran Gabriel Glass has Sylvia flipping through her late brother's diary and remembering how James believed he has silver magic and mentioning Garbriel's mother, India Glass, the Baroness of Rycroft. James had wanted to ask her Ladyship some questions. Sylvia decides to speak with India in his stead.
A wonderful setup of a historical romantic mystery with magic elements that I was so looking forward to reading. sigh The first chapter was a wonderful start, but it seemed to just slow down immediately after that, getting slower and slower. Now I honestly don't mind the mix of a virgin and a rake, but I prefer the rakes to, at the very least, respect the women they become involved with. And to not cheat on their fiancées.
This was supposed to be a mix of romance and mystery, a combination that I love. But here I felt that both genres were poorly handled. The promise of the start betrayed me. So much so that I have deleted the other works by this author that I picked up for free over at Amazon. Maybe I'm being unduly harsh, but I was just too bored with this to give her another shot. Too many authors are out there waiting to be read to take the chance.

Favorite Reads of 2022
My reading this year kind of fell by the wayside due to some personal issues, but recently I was able to get back into it a bit more (thanks especially to Little Thieves which brought me out of my rut.)
So some of the books I read this year that I enjoyed the most:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dreams Lie Beneath, by Rebecca Ross (audiobook) The Bone Maker, by Sarah Beth Durst (audiobook) The Queen of Blood, by Sarah Beth Durst (audiobook) After the Rift series, by C. J. Archer (audiobook) The Librarian of Crooked Lane, by C. J. Archer (audiobook) The Business of Blood, by Kerrigan Byrne Books 5-8 of The Extraordinaries series, by Melissa McShane Little Thieves, by Margaret Owen
Obviously Little Thieves is probably the one that stands out as my absolute favorite of the year, but the others were all quite enjoyable too. The Bone Maker by Sarah Beth Durst was a little dense, but so well-written and with a world-building that was absolutely thrilling. It led me to The Queen of Blood which I also greatly enjoyed, but unfortunately the second book was only so-so for me and I had no interest in reading the third.
I made some more headway on C. J. Archer's backlist and finally listened to the last book in the Glass and Steele series, as well the first one in her new Glass Library series. I also listened to the whole After the Rift series which I adored. I know her books can kind of fall into a predictable pattern with similar tropes and heroines, but their so easy to listen to and fun so I don't care.
The Business of Blood was one that took me by surprise actually. I thought it was going to be a generic Victorian London murder mystery but there was some real grit thrown into it, especially concerning racism and prejudices. I got scared when the Jewish gangster character was introduced, afraid I was going to be forced into reading a bunch of antisemitic stereotypes and such, but it wasn't. He was Jewish, and he was a criminal, but he wasn't a criminal because he was Jewish. He isn't a good person by any means, but he does have some moralities and it just made for such an interesting character and I loved it. (Read my review here.)
I was really happy to finish reading The Extraordinaries series by Melissa McShane. It was one of those series I took a break from for a bit but it was easy to fall right back into.
I definitely did not read as much as I did this year as I normally do, but that's okay. I read for enjoyment, not to meet a quota. Here's to whatever books steal my heart in the New Year.

#FlashbackFriday featuring A Novel Disguise (A Lady Librarian Mystery) by Samantha Larsen #Review / #Giveaway @HastingSamantha @samanthahastingsauthor @crookedlanebks
Tumblr media
On Flashback Fridays I will share with you the books I was not able to review when they were first released that have been screaming at me from my To-Be-Read bookshelf. A Novel Disguise (A Lady Librarian Mystery) Historical Cozy Mystery 1st in Series Setting - Imaginary English village, 1784 Crooked Lane Books (May 16, 2023) Paperback ‏ : ‎ 320 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1639103465 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1639103461 Digital ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0B9WJ8FFT When Miss Tiffany Woodall assumes the identity of her half-brother after his death, she realizes she isn’t the only one with a secret to hide in this historical series debut, perfect for fans of Deanna Raybourn and Sherry Thomas. 1784 London. Miss Tiffany Woodall didn’t murder her half-brother, but she did bury him in the back garden so that she could keep her cottage. Now, the confirmed spinster has to pretend to be Uriah and fulfill his duties as the Duke of Beaufort’s librarian while searching Astwell Palace for Uriah’s missing diamond pin, the only thing of value they own. Her ruse is almost up when she is discovered by Mr. Samir Lathrop, the local bookseller, who tries to save her from drowning while she's actually just washing up in a lake after burying her brother. Her plan is going by the book, until the rector proposes marriage and she starts to develop feelings for Mr. Lathrop. But when her childhood friend, Tess, comes to visit, Tiffany quickly realizes her secret isn’t the only one hidden within these walls. The body of a servant is found, along with a collection of stolen items, and someone else grows mysteriously ill. Can Tiffany solve these mysteries without her own disguise being discovered? If not, she’ll lose her cottage and possibly her life. Dollycas's Thoughts Mr. Uriah Woodall is the Duke of Beaufort’s librarian and his half-sister Miss Tiffany Woodall keeps house for him, most days feeling like a servant more than a sister. One morning Uriah doesn't come down for breakfast. When Tiffany checks on him, she finds him dead. He had been sick in the night and between the smell and the shock she is lost about what to do. In fear of losing their home and knowing she won't inherit anything, she makes an risky decision. She buries her brother under a tree in the backyard. Then she dons her brother's clothes and wig and pretends to be him to do his job and to keep the cottage. While there she will look for their only family possession that had value, a diamond pin Uriah lost at Astwell Palace. Amazed that her plan is working she goes into town without her disguise only to have the rector propose marriage following the death of his second wife. What he really wants is a caretaker for his 14 children. She also realizes she is developing feelings for another man, a local bookseller, and constable Mr. Samir Lathrop. Then the Duchess has a house party and invites the Duchess of Surrey who just happens to be Tiffany's childhood friend. She is sure the woman will immediately see through her novel disguise, but Tiffany realizes her secret isn't the only one at Astwell Palace. When a servant dies suspiciously and when another person becomes ill, Tiffany knows there is something afoot in the Duke of Beaufort's home and she is determined to solve the mystery. Can she do it without revealing her own secret? or will she die trying? _____ I know I would never survive London in 1784. Tiffany Woodall is a strong woman hemmed in by the constraints of the time. She had been engaged to Third Lieutenant Nathaniel Occom but he died before they could marry. So she has been keeping house for her half-brother for twenty years. He was a hard man to work for, a selfish miserly man, but probably very true to the time. Following his death Tiffany had the courage to save herself. Digging the grave and burying her brother takes physical strength. Then she has to think on her feet and out of the box. She seems to be able to fool people dressed in her disguise or people at that time really don't look closely at others around them. It was her actions and human nature that would reveal the truth to some people but they held her secret. Mr. Samir (Sam) Lathrop was an open-thinking man. A bookseller who Tiffany later found out is the town constable. They didn't get off on the right foot. There were times he thought she needed rescuing and those moments had me laughing out loud. But Tiffany had to work hard to keep up her ruse and Sam is a pretty observant man. I enjoyed the diverse cast of characters in this book. I was engaged by Tiffany and her plight. Sam, is a kind man who just wants to help. I loved their interactions. Ms. Larsen also gives her readers characters to dislike, one who was especially intense and even creepy. All the characters developed nicely throughout the story. I was delighted by the author's descriptive writing style. I can tell from the historical details that the author spent time thoroughly researching the era.  From the palace and all its rooms to Tiffany's Bristle cottage, the bookstore to the church, I was able to envision each place clearly. I also appreciated her attention to detail about what the characters were wearing including the heavily powdered wigs. I believe this custom started as a way for a King to hide his gray hair and others soon adopted the custom. Such crazy vanity that went on for years. Ms. Larsen has written a very strong mystery that develops slowly at first with Tiffany's masquerade falling into place. Then precise clues move the mystery forward. Tiffany was juggling a lot at the palace and away from it. Tending the library she learns there have been thefts at the palace.  The rector is relentless in his quest to control her. But she takes her investigation seriously and uncovers things at the palace are not what they seem. She just needs to put the pieces all together. I must say, I was so wrapped up in Tiffany's life that I didn't really work on solving the mystery before her. I just let myself be entertained by the captivating story. A Novel Disguise is a clever debut for the Lady Librarian Mystery Series. It's a wonderful mystery laced with humor and a bit of romance. Ms. Larsen's strong and memorable characters will grab your attention and hold on tight until the final page. The sequel is impatiently waiting on my Kindle. I hope to escape into it soon!

REVIEW
The Lock Box by Parker Adams
Intense, interesting, immersive story that drew me in, made me think, and wonder what I would have done in Monna’s situation.
What I liked: * Monna Locke: ex-army veteran, single parent, safe cracker, mostly raised herself, mother died when she was sixteen, taken in for a few years by a teacher, good friend, not a scholar, great with machines and mechanics, intriguing
* Evan: Monna’s child, five, smart, loves Monna, protective, had a tough time in this book
* Mule: high school shop teacher, good friend and mentor to Monna, a strong presence in her life
* Constance-Miss C: retired librarian, Monna’s neighbor, sometimes caretaker of Evan – wondered what happened to her
* The plot, pacing, setting, and writing
* Learning a bit more about safes
* Being able to dislike Huang and understand the thugs he had on hand for the heist though most were rather unsavory.
* That the bad guys had some good qualities
* That one of the bad guys was not as bad as the rest
* The way it all played out and the conclusion of the story – did wonder if it might be a one and done or the beginning of a series
* That I could see this as a movie
What I didn’t like: * Who and what I was meant not to like
* The ease with which Huang could manipulate others and the darkness and evil emanating from him
* The oligarch on the yacht…and his henchmen
Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more by this author? Yes
Thank you to NetGalley and Crooked Lane books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
4-5 Stars
BLURB
When an army vet-turned-safecracker is forcibly recruited to be part of a dangerous heist, she’ll need all her skills to get out alive in this fast-paced thriller perfect for fans of Jeffery Deaver and P. J. Tracy. Nearly a decade after getting chased out of the Army for fighting back against abuse, Monna Locke’s skill and discretion have made her the go-to safecracker for Los Angeles clients who need vaults opened and no questions asked. When a lawyer hires her to retrieve a box from his client’s mansion, it seems like an easy payday–until she opens the safe and is immediately attacked by heavily-armed men. Locke barely escapes and returns to her isolated cabin only to find the client waiting in her home, threatening what she holds most her son, Evan. After being knocked unconscious, she wakes up across the country, trapped in her own personal she and Evan will be held captive until she helps a seedy crew pull off a seemingly impossible heist. Forced to practice breaking into the most impenetrable safe ever designed, Locke bides her time and eyes her escape routes. She knows there’s no way to finish the job she’s been forced into, but it’s either crack the lock, or lose everything.

The Medici Manuscript - C. J. Archer
Tumblr media
In the second book of the Glass Library series, Sylvia discovers an old manuscript bound with magical silver clasps that might provide a clue to her (potentially magical) lineage. But the manuscript holds her fascination for another reason as well: it bears the symbol of the Medici family. And it is written entirely in an unbreakable cipher.
Gabriel Glass takes it upon himself to assist Sylvia with her investigation of the manuscript, bringing them closer together, and eventually prompting Gabe to reveal his secret.
I was surprised that the secret reveal happened so early in the series; I remember that happening much later in the Glass and Steele series. But now that we know what's going on, there's still a lot to figure out and I'm looking forward to it!
