The Body in the Garden, Katharine Schellman. "London 1815. Though newly-widowed Lily Adler is returning to a society that frowns on independent women, she is determined to create a meaningful life for herself even without a husband. She's no stranger to the glittering world of London's upper crust. At a ball thrown by her oldest friend she expects scandal, gossip, and secrets. What she doesn't expect is a dead body in the garden."
This is to be the first in a new series.
Listening to
Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter by Blaize Clement, another first in a series. "With pooper-scooper in hand, smart and sassy Dixie Hemingway--top amateur sleuth and professional pet-sitter--fearlessly faces schnauzers, greyhounds, tabbies . . . and murder." Filled with laugh out loud lines and wisdom about animals. I'm really loving this one.

In other news, I got the DVDs of
Wolf Hall, the BBC series. It is marvelous. The costumes, the music, the scenery, the acting. Very true to Mantel's book.
