SIX DEGREES OF SEPARATION: From A Gentleman in Moscow to The Jacobite's Wife
It's the first Saturday of the month which means it's time to play Six Degrees of Separation. This meme is hosted by Kate of Books Are My Favourite and Best. The aim is to link six books to each other from the starting point.
Today's starting point is A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. I've not read this book, although I do want to, hopefully before the TV series is released.

The Millwood Mystery by Jeannie Lockett
Book Review
This book, published by Corella Press, is part of their 19th Century Australian Crime and Mystery Collection.
