Thanks for stopping by! I'm Cori and I'm happy you've found your way here. If you're wondering why my blog is called "Let's Eat Grandpa," it's an old grammar joke: Let's eat, grandpa! Let's eat grandpa! (Punctuation saves lives.) 
So for Wednesdays when I can’t find random book-related item that I want, I think I’ll feature a book that I found on someone else’s blog. My to-read list is ridiculously long, but there’s always great books to add to it!
Today I want…

Synopsis (from Publisher’s Weekly): Starred Review. Those who like their historicals with a touch of humor will welcome Australian author Corby’s promising debut, set in fifth-century B.C.E. Greece. When the arrow-pierced body of Ephialtes, the main force behind democratic reform in Athens, literally falls at the feet of Nicolaos, a sculptor’s son expected to follow in his father’s footsteps, fate hands Nicolaos another career. Ephialtes’s politician friend, Pericles, who appears on the scene moments after the murder, is impressed enough by Nicolaos’s preliminary conclusions to hire him to solve the crime. Members of the Areopagus, the city’s ruling council, had the most to lose from Ephialtes’s policies, but the neophyte detective finds that not even his exalted employer is above suspicion. The bodies pile up as the investigation continues, leading to a dramatic climax in which Nicolaos’s survival hinges on his cracking the mystery. Corby displays a real gift for pacing and plotting.
Conclusion: Greece! Mysteries! Bodies! Yes—this is something I should love!
