After two strike-outs...

A re-read to save the day!  

I keep a bullet journal and in my monthly review section I make a list of all of the things I really loved and am SO thankful for that month.  I chose about ten or twelve topics - things such as something we watched, ate, drank, smelled...etc;  One of the topics is labeled BEST: and WORST: and here I track my favorite and least favorite book for the month.  This month, I already had my worst, but after getting to chapter five or six of Murder She Barked, I now have a worst, worst book.  😒

And that was my cozy mystery pick to fulfill a challenge.  

*sigh*

So I decided to go in a different direction.

So without further ado, I give you my review (again) of Sense and Second-Degree Murder by Tirzah Price.  

This is a book best listened to, as the narrator REALLY adds to the story.  I LOVE Tirzah Price's two Jane Austen mysteries.  She hits the perfect balance of faithfulness to the original story, while sprinkling in well-written, unique aspects to support her mystery.  LOVED it,  She has a new book coming out in June (I think?), and I cannot wait.  

I had a few nights this week that I just could not get to sleep and this book came in to keep me company in the long hours of a quiet house.  One night my wireless headphones died and I got up and searched the house for my old wired headphones and a connector piece just so I could keep listening.  I highly recommend this book, and as this was published in April 2022, it meets the requirements of the Calendar of Crime reading challenge.  💝
