Set Change: a Nina Bannister Mystery (The Nina Bannister Mysteries)
““All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Except Nina applied these lines to months. Every miserable month had its own story, or stories.

Such was her June in Bay St. Lucy, following the announcement of The Great Hamlet, which was to act as forerunner to The Great Summer Festival.
Every day she ro...se, breakfasted, Furled, Unfurled, went to run on the beach and ultimately walked on the beach, worked for two or three hours in Margot’s shop which meant she chatted for two or three hours with Margot, came home, Furled, Unfurled, lunched, napped, fished with Penelope Royal, dinnered with any one of a number of friends, came home after dark, Furled, Unfurled, had a glass of wine, went to bed resolved to read something truly great (there was a volume of Schopenhauer on the nightstand, where it had lain for several months), read instead a mystery, and then dozed off to sleep.MoreLess
