The Story of Arthur Truluv (2017) is the first novel in the Mason series. There are two more books to follow, A Night of Miracles (2018), and The Confession Club (2019).

Apparently if you liked Where The Crawdads Sing, then you’ll love This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger according to Parade Magazine. There were so many praises for this book and it was so highly recommended that we had to check it out for ourselves!
Having read Kueger’s Ordinary Grace (such a great book), I had high hopes going into This Tender Land.
Did it meet my expectations? Yes!
Here’s why you should read it:

The Liar’s Girl was my introduction to Catherine Ryan Howard.
I was looking forward to reading this book because it was nominated for the Edgar Award in 2019. Also I was keen on digging in a book set in Dublin, Ireland and by an Irish author.
The book also had rave reviews from the book community so I was eager to read it to see if it would live up to its hype.

This is my first book by author Peter Swanson.
I feel very late to the Peter Swanson fan party. I love to discover new authors to love and having read Eight Perfect Murders I can honestly say I will be checking out more of Swanson’s work. Swanson’s is known for The Kind Worth Killing and Her Every Fear so I will add those to my to read list!
I really enjoyed this cleverly crafted murder mystery.
