Why read it?
1 author picked The Librarian of Crooked Lane as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Another entry by C.J. Archer (can you tell I like this author?) and another great blending of genres. Set in turn of the century England but including the existence of magic, the world-building is sure to immerse you and keep you reading on to the next book. Again, the “mystery” built in is not your typical, which makes the reading all the more intriguing.
From Nellie's list on historical fiction with a dash of magic.
