  • The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin

    A compelling and engaging historical fiction novel set in London during World War ll. We loved getting to discuss the gritty and compassionate characters and glean wonderful quotes from them. If you want a front row seat to living in London during years of bombs and rationing we highly recommend giving this book a read.

    Here is a link to the milkman photograph that Sheila mentioned in the episode. A picture really is worth a 1000 words. https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/london-milkman-1940/

  • The Golden Spiders by Rex Stout
    Published in 1953, this noir mystery novel took us back in time with a Dick Tracy feel. This was a quick and fun read and our first of Rex Stout’s, a well know mystery writer of his day. Do not fret, we did not give any spoilers or disclose who the killer is. If you want to know that, you will have to read the book!
