While double-checking the work I’d done recently, I discovered not one but two reviews I’d written and somehow never posted. This showed me how far I have fallen off the efficiency wagon, and I cannot apologize enough to the writers concerned.
Woven in Time Trilogy Book 1 by Jessica Ann
Across centuries, three women are bound by an invisible thread, one that dares them to question everything and follow what whispers in their souls. Because it turns out, we are far more magical than we ever imagined.
1307 England: Miryam, a weaver’s daughter, longs for more than her impending arranged marriage. When she meets a handsome monk and begins practicing magic in a secret mystery school, she believes she has found her true path—until the earl begins hunting heretics, and her new powers may cost her life.
2017 California: Leah, an atheist fortune teller and boxed-wine connoisseur, just wants peace during a brutal custody battle and debilitating migraines. But when a strange journal from the 1300s arrives addressed to her, she is drawn into a mystery that challenges everything she believes.
2307 New Soteria: Karaia, a rising marketing analyst, witnesses an impossible murder in a world where crime was supposedly eradicated. Thrust into the dark underbelly of society, she learns of disturbing government cover-ups, repressed childhood memories, and her own connection to a thousand-year-old prophecy.
Our Review
This story grabbed hold of my curiosity the minute I saw it. An unusual and complex story, weaving magic and the supernatural together in very interesting ways.
Different times, different places, and three very different women, powerfully linked together on a fascinating journey.
History, intrigue and transformation, all blended together to spellbind whoever reads the first book of the Woven in Time trilogy…
The Shattered Bauble: A Christmas mystery from the author of The Corfe Castle Murders #Review
It’s Christmas in Lyme Regis, and DC Tina Abbott is looking forward to some well-earned time with her family.
But then her mum Annie, true to form, reports a crime. The pottery shop has been broken into and the owner Peg, Annie’s friend, attacked.
The evidence is scant. A solitary fingerprint in blood, but nothing stolen, at least as far as the police can tell.
But when Annie discovers a gaudy pottery reindeer that was left at the scene of the crime, she and her swimming club friends get drawn into the mystery.
Was the man who attacked Peg the same man PC Dougie Anderson almost ran over on the night of the crime? Why does the local councillor keep turning up? Does the car Annie saw leaving the scene belong to her friend Rosamund’s husband? And just what’s going on at the dilapidated café across the way from the pottery?
The Shattered Bauble is a Christmassy mystery which makes an ideal gift for anyone who loves whodunnits, the stunning Jurassic Coast, or evil seagulls.
Second Review
The Shattered Bauble is a Christmassy mystery, which makes an ideal gift for anyone who loves whodunnits, the stunning Jurassic Coast, or evil seagulls.
The characters and the location are delightful and a joy to read about. Everything feels so real, it was as if I was really there.
I love being an armchair detective, and Rachel makes it such fun to follow along.
This is one hell of a read, and I look forward to many more!
