Winston Graham, The Four Swans - ***Warning: spoilers for previous books in the Poldark series*** Tilling but didn’t care so much for Venetia and Kitty-so I didn’t absolutely love this book, but it’s still a very good read for fans of WWII novels. I wasn’t quite gripped by all of the characters-I loved Mrs. The not-so-subtle theme is that the women have finally found a way to raise their voices, exert their power, and make decisions for themselves. Jennifer Ryan, The Chilbury Ladies’ Choir - An epistolary novel set in an English village during World War II is obviously going to be right up my alley! The book is narrated by five girls and women from the village, who cope with their fear and grief by singing in an all-female choir.
I’d consider reading a future book in the series, but I won’t be waiting with bated breath. I have to say, I enjoyed the chick lit aspects of this novel much more than the mystery aspects-Regina H., Personal Romance Concierge, was a delight! But the mystery was very predictable, and I didn’t buy Riley’s somewhat indifferent reaction to her former BFF’s death. Meanwhile, in an attempt to get over being dumped by her long-term boyfriend, she subscribes to an online dating service, with entertaining results. She soon becomes convinced that Jordan didn’t kill herself, and she teams up with a local journalist to discover the truth. Jordan’s mother asks her to write the obituary, so Riley begins to investigate Jordan’s life.
Jill Orr, The Good Byline - When Riley Ellison learns that her childhood best friend Jordan has committed suicide, she’s both grieved and shocked.
