Probably Won't Recommend

I could have sworn I had rread this book years and years ago but I when I started reading it recently it wasn't ringing a bell.  However, I soon became somewhat uncomfortable with some of the content...not terrible but it was leading places I wasn't excited about...so I decided to not finish it.  However, I was interested in the overall plot and so I skimmed the rest to find out the basics.  Tragic story, but things definitely didn't go south like it seemed they would.  There were still some {Uncomfortable Moments} and some {Backstory} that I didn't love.  There is also a suicide that is mentioned with a few details {Subject Matter} but again, it turned out to be not as undesirable of a book as I was expecting.

  I remember in the past, my comfort level with this author has been hit or miss.

Probably Won't Recommend due to everything mentioned above.

I read GG Vandagriff years ago when I started reading as a hobby again after my kids were all born.

I really  enjoyed most of her stuff but was disappointed in her regency romances.

It wasn't until recently when I was telling my mom about her that we found out that she had written a Golden Age mystery series since those earlier days of mine.

My mom tried the first one out and I followed.

We both found it to be quite clean!

I was thrilled since finding historical murder mysteries that are not offensive has been quite difficult for me.  There was a {Backstory} of an affair involving two unmarried people and a couple of instances of a stronger version of "Thank Goodness" (I don't know whether to count that as {Language} or not...probably not...so, like I said, pretty clean!

We are both interested in reading more of this series and crossing our fingers that they stay equally unoffensive :)

I feel comfortable recommending this book!
