May 17th: Mysteries
May is considered “Mystery Month,” so let’s share some of our favorite mystery reads!
I prefer mysteries which are not graphic, and focus more on characterization and motive. I read an occasional thriller, but lean more towards historical or cozy mysteries.
The Lady Julie Grey series is one of my favorite of any genre.
I loved this mystery and found Lena to be a lot more relatable than a lot of protagonists in cozy mysteries.
The Cormaran Strike novels are written by J.K. Rowling under pen name Robert Galbraith. These mysteries are so good and a completely different writing style than Harry Potter
This is book three in the Lady Darby Mystery Series. This is my favorite, but I would recommend reading them in order.
The Australian Outback setting adds an interesting level of danger to this mystery. This is more of a slow burn mystery where a lot of time is spent developing the back story and family relationships.
