Sixteen years as a Red
"When she woke she was red. Not flushed, not sunburned, but the solid, declaritive red of a stop sign."
So opens Hillary Jordan's sophomore novel (after Mudbound).

Oldie but super-goodie
I used to read Jane Feather but haven't picked up anything of hers in a while. So I decided to dip back in and read one I hadn't yet. And boy am I glad I did. The Widow’s Kiss starts off with a bang, or maybe that’s a thud, when Lady Guinevere Mallory has a hand in the death of her drunken, abusive husband. He comes at her while she is standing on a balcony and ends up falling to the stones below. Whether or not Guinevere intended his death is unclear. Even her longtime servants are a little leery since this is the fourth husband she’ll be burying.
