Because I Killed Him by Edith Birde

 Because I Killed Him by Edith Birde This note from the publisher is what drew me into this book. They state that this book is a '...sweeping, character-driven novel set in a bright, deadly world inspired by the glamour and decadence of the 1920s Jazz Age...written for readers who enjoy flawed, morally complex characters, lethal power struggles, dangerous alliances, forbidden relationships, found family, and a plot that unravels like a mystery'.

It's the second in the  Smallhope & Pennyroyal series set in the St Mary's universe and it picks up where the last one left. Loved the humour in this book and the time travel, Taylor is an exceptional writer and the characters feel very real as does the world they inhabit. Cannot wait to read the next one after that ending. Really well plotted and kept me fully engaged throughout. Thank you to the author, the publishers, and to Netgalley for this ARC.  4 stars 4 stars 4 stars 4 stars 4 stars Was this review helpful?    Lisa S, Librarian 3 stars 3 stars 3 stars 3 stars 3 stars I think if I'd read the first Stanhope and Pennyroyal book I might have enjoyed this onemore. It has all the Jodi Taylor humour and flair but I just didn't engage with the characters as much as I do with St Marys and found myself skimming some...

Tyrants and Rogues Understanding the Declaration of Independence by Robert G. Parkinson

   Tyrants and Rogues Understanding the Declaration of Independence  by Robert G. Parkinson This was not a subject I was very familiar with and Parkinson tackles this immense subject in an engaging and informative way, The author places the Declaration of Independence firmly within the context of the Revolutionary War and looks at it in depth. Parkinson is an excellent writer and handles this complex subject really well. It would be must read for those interested in getting to know this particular time in America's past. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC.
