Mailbox Monday ~ October 10th
Mailbox Monday was created by The Printed Page. It is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their home last week.
Mailbox Monday is currently on tour, hosted by a different blog each month. The October host is Savvy Verse & Wit.
Only one book this week but that’s probably a good thing as I’m getting behind in my reviews. With all the gorgeous weather we’ve had in the Midwest this past week, I haven’t spent much time sitting still reading and only managed to finish one audiobook.
This weekend was perfect for a few longs walks, watching birds, taking photos and some garden cleanup. Plus we’ve been busy remodeling the family room. Buying one new chair snowballed into more new furniture, replacing the floor and a lot of redecorating. Funny how small projects always seem to expand into large ones.
For review from Atria Galley Grab:
The Goat Woman of Largo Bay
by Gillian Royes
The Goat Woman of Largo Bay begins the detective series featuring Shad, a bartender in a fishing village in Jamaica, who is the community problem solver and right hand of Eric, an American who owns the bar and a hotel left in ruins by a hurricane.
When Shad sees movement on the island offshore, he thinks it’s just a goat. But it turns out to be Simone, an American who has run away from her professional and personal life in the U.S., an intriguing woman who captures Eric’s heart. Always keeping his ear to the ground, Shad discovers that a gunshot heard near Simone’s place late one night isn’t exactly friendly fire, but tied to a plot to harm Simone and ultimately manipulate local elections. But why does someone want to harm Simone? And what does she have to do with the elections? Only Shad can find out.

I’ve been noticing this one, and it reminds me of another detective series, with the intriguing titles: (The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency). Hope you have a great read!
