THE CASE OF THE MURDERED MUCKRAKER by Rob Osler features a feisty, independent, bike-riding female private investigator in 1898 Chicago. She is just starting out as a PI, still trying to prove herself, when a scandalous case jeopardizes her future. #ewgc @kensington-library.bsky.social

The real pirates of the Caribbean were Black women! Set in 1675, Vanessa Riley’s immersive saga FIRE SWORD AND SEA is based on the life of pirate Jacquotte Delahaye. Check it out! #ewgc @librarylovefest.bsky.social

So excited about the latest Georgia O’Keefe mystery, SACRED LIGHT by Kathryn Lasky. Just look at that beautiful cover art! Set in New Mexico 1937, painter Georgia O’Keefe learns that a friend has gone missing and Georgia feels compelled to investigate. #ewgc @severnhouse.bsky.social #netgalley

In the1940s, the US implemented a plan to reduce STIs among soldiers, young women even thought to be sexually active could be locked up for an unknown length of time. To learn more, read Donna Everhart’s stunning novel WOMEN OF A PROMISCUOUS NATURE. #ewgc @kensington-library.bsky.social

Naomi Hirahara’s latest mystery, CROWN CITY, is set in Pasadena, 1903. The main character, Ryui Wada, is fresh off the boat from Yokahama and working as an art dealer’s apprentice. Then Ryui and his roommate are hired to investigate an art theft. #dontmiss #ewgc @sohopress.bsky.social

Looking forward to reading EVELYN IN TRANSIT by David Guterson. This is his first novel in quite a while and centers on a woman who questions conventions, defies expectations, and seeks the right way to live. #ewgc @wwnortonlibrary.bsky.social

@megmcardle.bsky.social You will love this. #ewgc

Currently reading THE CYCLIST by Tim Sullivan. This fascinating mystery features a British detective who finds social interactions a challenge but has a brilliant mind for puzzling out the clues in murder investigations. #ewgc @groveatlantic.bsky.social

Loved it! So happy it madehe LibraryReads list. #ewgc

THE ONCE AND FUTURE QUEEN by Paula Lafferty is a real feast for readers, even if you know nothing about King Arthur. A modern woman is transported back to the 7th century to help save Camelot and breathes new life into the legends. Beautiful! #ewgc @kensington-library.bsky.social

Just finished A DEFIANT WOMAN by Karen E.Olson, and wow, is this fun. The author takes the characters from Henry VIII’s court, transplants them to the modern US, and writes mysteries about the deaths that surrounded him. #Tudorsforever #ewgc @pegasus-books.bsky.social

Love, love, love SECRETS OF THE FIRST SCHOOL by T.L. Huchu, the final book of the Edinburgh Nights fantasy series. If you haven’t read these books, go ahead and do it now. Ropa Moyo is an unforgettable lead, and the mix of Zimbabwean and Scottish magic is brilliant. #ewgc @macmillanlib.bsky.social

Hello galley chatters! Is everyone enjoying some nice autumn weather? Can’t wait to hear what everyone’s been reading! #ewgc

THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF JUNETTA PLUM by Valerie Wilson Wesley is the start of a new mystery series set in Harlem in the 1920s during the Harlem Renaissance. Perfect for fans of Nekesia Afia’s Dead Dead Girls and Avery Cunningham’s The Mayor of Maxwell Street. #ewgc @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social

So excited to read CANTICLE by Janet Rich Edwards. In 13th C Bruges, a fiercely independent young woman seeks shelter within a community of religious women who do not answer to the church. This debut is said to evoke a world on the verge of transformation. #ewgc @spiegelandgrau.bsky.social

I’m in the mood for a good mystery so what could be better than Terry Shames’ THE CURIOUS POISONING OF JEWEL BARNES? Small town Chief of Police Sam Craddock has his hands full with illegal dumping and feuding sisters—until one of the sisters ends up dead. @severnhouse.bsky.social #ewgc

With a young protagonist who decides to solve a series of murders in her community, THE LIST OF SUSPICIOUS THINGS by Jennie Godfrey sounds like a charming coming of age story that will appeal to fans of Alan Bradley’s Flavia de Luce mysteries. #ewgc @hachettelibrary.bsky.social

Looking forward to reading WHEN THE FIREFLIES DANCE by Aisha Hassan. After his young brother is murdered in front of the family home in Pakistan, Lalloo sets out to save himself and his family at great personal cost. Based on a true story and perfect for book groups. #ewgc @ssedlib.bsky.social

Took a peek at NEEDLE LAKE by Justine Champine and it looks really good. On Christmas Eve, two young cousins witness a man twitching and dying below the ice. Hope to read it this month. #ewgc @prhlibrary.bsky.social

EVENSONG by Stewart O’Nan is a quietly moving novel about a group of older women in Pittsburgh who form the Humpty Dumpty Club to provide help to their friends and acquaintances in need—picking up groceries and medicines, driving to dr. appts, etc. So much ❤️. #ewgc @groveatlantic.bsky.social

I love Mark de Castrique’s Secret Lives mysteries and in particular DESPERATE SPIES, this 3rd entry in the series. The star of the series is 75 year old Ethel Crestwater, a retired FBI agent who runs a boarding house. Sounds harmless but she still has mad skills. @severnhouse.bsky.social #ewgc

THE FERRYMAN AND HIS WIFE by Frode Grytten is such a quietly beautiful and moving story, I can’t wait to start putting it in readers’ hands. In luminescent prose, Grytten paints a portrait of a man, a place, and a way of life. Don’t miss it. #ewgc @hachettelibrary.bsky.social

THE TORTOISE’S TALE by Kendra Coulter was a lovely and thoughtful look at the past century of American life as seen through the eyes of a rare (and very observant) giant tortoise living on the grounds of a California estate. So much love for this book. @ssedlib.bsky.social #ewgc

Enjoyed THE QUEEN WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, the latest in S. J. Bennett’s “Her Majesty the Queen Investigates” mystery series. It’s fascinating to think about the Queen of England solving crimes in between all her actual royal duties. @crookedlanebooks.bsky.social #ewgc

Hey everybody! #ewgc
