bailedEnzo McLeod investigates the cold case of a senior civil servant who disappeared 10 years ago. He finds his skull in a box of objects which are clues to the location of the rest of his body.
DNF. The puzzles leading to the locations of the dismembered body were fun but 2/3 of the way through I realised I had no interest in the events and characters.
Starting my day with an unplanned choice from my TBR- visiting Paris where I honeymooned. 🇫🇷🥖🧀🥐☕️🍫🍷🧳 #winterreadathon
panThis book is called both Extraordinary People and Dry Bones - I don‘t know why
However, I did not like this book. I wanted to read more Peter May since I really liked the Lewis Trilogy. I will not be continuing this series.
I did not like Enzo. He was really just a horny man and all the thought about was women‘s breast. It just really turned me off him. The mystery itself was intriguing with the puzzle. It‘s the only reason I didn‘t bail.
pickEnzo Files book 1
The best beginning to a series that I've read for quite some time. Enzo has made a bet with several friends that he can solve a cold case murder. This starts him on a "treasure hunt" of sorts, beginning with an old chest found in the rubble under the streets of Paris, which held a skull and other objects. Definitely cant wait to read book 2!

Some of my favorite authors!
I think the Peter May series might be my favorite, even though I haven't even finished reading book 1 of the Enzo files. Such an interesting, funny character is Enzo Macleod. Any other opinions? Compared to his other series or standalones(which i have not read any yet) this book was also published under title of Dry Bones

pickThis is a pick, with reservations. I enjoyed the mystery and the characters have potential, but. Omg, the references to one character‘s “cantaloupe breasts” and cleavage and voluptuousness! Every single time this character appears! And she‘s one of Enzo‘s students and the same age as his own daughter. Just NO. The sex scenes are cringy. There‘s also a mention of how Enzo thought someone was wearing a mask under a mask, but no, he‘s black! 🤔😳🤬
So far so good. #FirstinSeries #EnzoFiles
UPDATE: “cantaloupe breasts”?!? Ugh.
Finally time to start this series! Peter May‘s books are sooo good! 🥰
bailedI got half way through and I just can‘t. I wanted to like it, a half Italian half Scottish professor that solves a bizarre French murder BUT the hyper masculinity and over the top clues made me just too tired. There are better books out there.

Peter May is one of my favorite authors!
No, YOU just bought the first book in yet another series because it was on super sale. I don‘t know what you‘re talking about. 😬
so-soAn interesting thriller with puzzles, history and forensics rolled into one. I would definitely read more. I listened to this one on audio and the voice the narrator used for the main character (slight Scottish accent) put me in mind of Hunt For Red October era Sean Connery...🤷♀️🤷🏻♀️Wasn‘t exactly how I wanted to picture the character lol. Here‘s a gratuitous pic of my cat trying to steal candy from my Cupid package
Getting an early start #24in48. Will finish this one in a few.
pickGreat start to a new series for me to read. Enzo is a wonderful investigator.
#freeread on the nook app under Serial Reads this title is running through the month of July. #Nook #nookserialread
This book popped up on my B&N Serial Reads. Any thoughts on it? Has any Littens read it? Just wondering if it worth checking out. Not like I need to add another book to my current reading TBR.
July's free read on the nook app. Thought I'd share. Forensic thriller/mystery.
We're so excited for the 6th and final cold case in Peter May's The Enzo Files series CAST IRON (Oct. 2017)
