Book 33/30. My rating: 3 of 5 stars Well this was disappointing 😐Not long into The Alice Network I started to seriously question why Kate Quinn didn’t just set the story in 1915 during the Great War.

Book 29/30. My rating: 3 of 5 stars The Guest List is set off the coast of Ireland and the island, together with The Folly where the wedding was held, was quite atmospheric and made for a good locked-island murder mystery.
