Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Reading Reality. It's a place to showcase any books I have purchased, borrowed, or been lucky enough to have been given an advance copy of. Hope you find something that looks interesting to you or that makes you remember a favorite book you need to finish. Enjoy your reading this week!
I ran across this in my Early Bird Books daily email I get listing on sale books I might like. The premise looked unique and it won the Edgar Award in 1965. A Rabbi from Boston is the actual author so he will definitely know his background for this story. The main character lives in a small New England town and although he wants nothing more than to lay low and minister to his flock, he is often involved in helping with the typical cozy mystery small town murders that seem to just pop up everywhere in these books! It says it's a lot like Father Brown, one of my favorites.
Kindle price: $2.99
I have already started this novella and am loving it! I started to read Death Below Stairs by this author, the first mystery novel in the Below Stairs Mysteries. Then I discovered this book is the prequel to the series so I bought it and decided to stop and read it first. It definitely was the right choice....much more is making sense in Book 1 of the actual series. I am loving this author's historical knowledge of the time period. It is set in a Downton Abbey type house and the characters are well drawn. Looking forward to more from these books.
Kindle audiobook: Waiting on it to arrive in Libby (second in line!)
This is the October Read Christie book. I put it in for audiobook on Libby over a month ago and am still waiting. I have found I really enjoy listening to the Christie books in the car. It is so relaxing to do this on my way to work. But I may have to cave and actually get this book somewhere because apparently it is very popular right now! I'm hoping to get it this week and be able to finish in October right on time. And it's Miss Marple, I have grown fond of her :)
