It totally sounds like something I would enjoy and I like that she shifts between the two main characters. That is interesting! I need to look through my shelves because I think I do have the first in the series but if not I may have to check out that Kindle bundle. Thanks for the great tip!Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-10722688567344220472016-07-03T09:14:08.117-05:002016-07-03T09:14:08.117-05:00I think the title of Assassins puts it at a disadv...I think the title of Assassins puts it at a disadvantage. If I had not read the description or paid attention to Churchill's photo on the cover, I would probably have dismissed. The title alone fails to generate much curiosity, but I enjoyed the book. :)jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-46627918091507302122016-07-01T20:33:22.414-05:002016-07-01T20:33:22.414-05:00I've to check out Anne Perry's books since...I've to check out Anne Perry's books since many readers seem to love them. And Assassins sounds interesting too, given the historical setting and some of the issues faced then.

The Monk series, however, has been a different story!

I wait for them to appear in my Little Free Library or for a mystery-lvoing friend to offer them to me. As I've mentioned to you before, Jenny, I do read most of the holiday novellas to see how Perry takes a minor character and makes it their story.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666609213171939599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-85593600715078220472016-06-30T18:22:39.826-05:002016-06-30T18:22:39.826-05:00I was quite fond of Charlotte and Thomas Pitt for ...I was quite fond of Charlotte and Thomas Pitt for awhile there, but my interest in the series fizzled after awhile.

I will check out both of her series and do some checking into them to see if it's a good fit for me.
