Miss Winter was one of my holiday reads too! Although I have to admit it's slow-going for me. I think I've just been distracted by other things. Perhaps it's also a book that works better as a physical book than on Kindle (which is what I have). Your review inspires me to give it a proper go.
I've been reading about Tom Mead's works and how good they are. Also on my TBR shelf for 2026!
I imagine it does work better as a physical book (I have the hardback). It is still a long-ish read, but worth the time investment I think
I hope you enjoy Tom Mead when you get around to reading him! He was a random discovery on a library shelf a few years ago for me. As well as his own books, he's been doing some translations of the French locked room expert Paul Halter, which I haven't read yet but am looking forward to
Thanks very much for your nice review of Miss Winter, a book that has been very lucky for me. Much appreciated.
Absolutely adore a list of characters at the start of a book. I don't know what it is about them, but I find them delightful.
Yes, it's always a good start to a book! And often helpful in the early chapters if several characters are introduced at once

Oh, I didn't know about his translation work. Thanks for that tip; I'm going to look up Halter's work now. :D
