My Thoughts: Dear Mrs. Bird came onto my radar from some friends who read it and loved it. I love historical fiction and so I decided to check it out. Best decision ever! It landed on my list of top books I read in 2018 and I simply adored it. The story takes place in London in WW2 and centers around the people, the women in particular, left behind in war time London.

The latest installment in the series is no different! In Hot Winter Nights, Lucas and Molly are thrown together on a case that Archer (head […]
