I’ve enjoyed Larkin’s previous novels and loved this one, about a young woman who scrapes together a career as a singer-songwriter in 1990s New York. I enjoyed the characters and some pieces of the story, but didn’t really feel like the whole of it came together. It follows several young men (and one younger boy) on a road trip gone sideways. I loved Towles’ two previous novels so I was excited about this one. I love this series and this was a jolly Christmas entry. With family in tow, Georgie and her husband Darcy spend Christmas with Darcy’s eccentric aunt and an odd mix of guests – and of course there are a few murders. Lady Georgiana is preparing for her first Christmas as a married woman when she’s summoned to Sandringham by the queen. A really fun second outing for these characters, and so very British. People start dying, naturally, but this crew of elderly folks (plus their police compatriots) are on it. The Thursday Murder Club is back on the case! An ex of Elizabeth’s shows up, spinning an interesting tale (he does that) involving stolen diamonds and international intrigue. December has been rushing past, and between work craziness (so many thank-you letters!) and trips to the post office, I’ve been reading.
