Friday Book Blogging

My head is full of phlegm (and little else) but I will soldier on and post a Friday Book Blog for my loyal readership. (Both of you!)
In a three-book week, the best of the bunch was Carola Dunn's latest Daisy Dalrymple mystery, Anthem for Doomed Youth. I love this time period (between the Wars) but have not, in the past, been a big fan of Dunn's previous work.
However, pickings were slim at my local library this week, so I made do, and was pleasantly surprised. The book splits its content between nosy Daisy who fancies herself a genius sleuth (and has had prior success as such), and her husband DCI Alec Fletcher. The dicotomy allows for a cozy and a police procedural in one novel. Nicely done.
