I have been on another kick of reading adult books…I know, GASP! In my defense, though, they have all been British thrillers and murder mysteries, and you KNOW how much I love all things Great Britain. Best of all, they’ve all been audiobooks! I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoy being read to in any British accent. Scottish, Welsh, Irish, English – it doesn’t matter, I love them all. Here’s a breakdown of the series I’ve enjoyed, and yes, there are MANY to choose from. These books can be found on Audible, at your local public library, and on Kobo. I HIGHLY recommend that you plug into one or more of these series.

 

Vera Stanhope by Ann Cleeves (this is an excellent television series available on Britbox and well worth watching)

 

 

Shetland by Ann Cleeves (this is also an excellent series on Britbox…Brits know how to tell a good story!)
