Friday Book Blogging

Ah. The return of the Friday Book Blog. I had lots of free time for reading this week. Unfortunately I did not have the lighting for it.
However, I did get through a couple of books and one of them, Elizabeth Speller's The Strange Fate of Kitty Easton, gets the nod this week.
True to my recent proclivities, this book takes place in England between the wars. I suppose I've become something of an Anglophile in my reading tastes, which is inadvertent. I am drawn to this time period, though and it seems that most of what is available is set in England.
(Do we Americans really find ourselves so dull in the same intervening years or have I just not searched well enough? It was our Roaring 20s. You'd think that would be an admirable setting for a novel.)
Our sleuth, Laurence Bartram finds himself drawn into the disappearance of 5-year-old Kitty, despite the fact that the disappearance occurred over a dozen years ago. There is, of course, the mandatory corpse, and the innumerable red herrings, but on the whole this is less a mystery than a story with mysterious parts.
I liked the initial book in this series, The Return of Captain Emmett, but this one is better.
