This is not a book about capital-H heroes. Instead, it centers on people who engage in small acts of service, kindness, and yes, heroism—not for recognition or glory, but because it was the right thing to do in the moment. These are stories of people showing up when it would have been easier not to.
The Locked Room is clever, cozy without being complacent, and deeply satisfying for puzzle-lovers. If you adore classic detective fiction but crave a fresh perspective, Harriet White deserves a place on your shelf—and very likely, in your reading rotation for a long while to come.

There is also something deeply comforting about the cultural shorthand Spencer-Fleming uses. References to PBS, public radio–adjacent sensibilities, and a certain late-20th-century, educated-Northeast worldview made me feel instantly at home.

my yard needs rain….
Hi! I’ve nominated you for an Excellent Blog Award. Check it out here: http://mymuseandme.blogspot.com/2008/08/blog-award.html.
I usually love the rain to but it has now been raining for 5 days straight! Thank TS Fay!
I really really love rain! I can not think about anything in the world, that sounds more delightful than rain. Raindrops on my window. Especially when I’m lying in my bed, falling to sleep while I’m listening to that sound.
Rain is the best thing in the world. – And thunder is also fantastic! But only when you are inside, and don’t have any plans of going outside. That’s what I think. But even though I love rain, I think that Christmas has to be white Accept from Christmas, it could rain the rest of the year. I would’nt complain!
