"She neither wore, nor required any jewelry save the exquisite diamond-drop earrings that glittered beneath the dazzling electric chandalier. Despite her youth, the girl's features were well-defined and of a classic line."

Murder on Nob Hill
Shirley Tallman

This line really has nothing to do with the mystery of this book. Well, at least as much as I know, so far. That's not to say that she doesn't come back into the book at a later. I think this is a great teaser. These sentences paint a picture of what I consider the ultimate "society" woman in the 1890s... like her... Mrs. George Gribbs... painted by John Singer Sargent.


I think the reason I like stories set in this time period so much is because I love the art of John Singer Sargent. His subjects were society's elite and books like the Sarah Woolson Mysteries usually have one of these women who defy society's conventions and do what they believe is right.

I carried my large black Coack Carly. J and I went to a meeting at his new high school and I knew I would have to carry a lot a papers. It was perfect as they gave us a packet with papers explaining every club, elective and athletic option the school offers. Tonight was also my book club. I thought I'd have to miss it because of the school meeting but as it turned out, the meeting ended early enough that J and I headed over to the bookstore. The meeting was still in full swing so I was able to see my friends and discuss the book.
