As a zoologist when I see things like this in books it makes me a little angry. Did the author purposely not check their animal info or are they trying to make the character relatable because people actually think these things about raccoons???
For the record: Raccoons are definitely NOT rodents. They are of the order Carnivora. Raccoons also do not hibernate and are active all winter long especially around people because there is always food!
Think this is far as I'm getting on #autumnbingo because I won't be reading anything with football in it. Oh well, very close!

so-soGreat pacing, really dials up for "the chase." However: constant objectification of women, at times unrealistic portrayal of the main female characters, 2nd plot was boring/predictable, unlikable MC. & I found the level of graphic brutality/torture literally made me feel sick; for multiple reasons it was probably not removed enough from me to make it palatable. Pretty much every trigger warning for this book. Won't be continuing.

Well, I'm sticking this book out so far...I just got a kick out of seeing my hometown, Guelph, mentioned. But something about reading about murders in the places I know makes it all a little more disturbing.

This might be the first and last reference to good ol' Gord that I'll ever see in one of my reads!! 🍁🍁
So you're telling me Delorme puts up with a**holes for colleagues but can't get over a photographer "ruining" a teenage relationship???!! Years later, probably many relationships later, I'm supposed to believe she feels enough hatred toward these photographers over some highschool crush that she nearly equates them with RAPISTS. WTF WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK.
Ok I may bail on this book and just watch the series...at this rate, it's probably better.
In every chapter there seems to be some chauvinistic comment made about Delorme and her looks, and always an additional blaming aspect to them and I'm pretty f***ing tired of it.
If I were Delorme, I'm pretty sure a few of my male colleagues would go mysteriously missing....
The discussion about the daily life and treatment of aboriginals is still, unfortunately, spot on- this passage especially hits close in regard to all the missing aboriginal women in our country.
Sadly, the latent racism portrayed in the book is all too present still too.
I was doing the mental math on this and coming up confused until I realised this book was published in 2000. Made a whole lot more sense after that.
And then it hit me...that was 17 years ago...and then I started doing the whole -well, I was only in middle school...aaaand down the rabbit hole! 😂😂

This is the first book in this series with Detective John Cardinal. I read it after watching the TV miniseries and it is SO GOOD! I loved the main characters. The criminals were horrendous and the story was shocking. I enjoyed the Northern Ontario setting a lot. 🕵💰🗡🔫
#currentlyreading I want to finish reading this before watching the tv show 😆
pickI just watched the first episode of Cardinal, based on the novel Forty Words for Sorrow by Giles Blunt. I absolutely LOVED all the books and this first episode of the TV series was fantastic! It is very Canadian, but I would say that if you liked Wallander, you will also like this - and seriously, check out the books - they are soooooooooo good!!!
It's the first Tuesday in November. Time for my #novembertbr! It's a mix of hardcovers and audiobooks. Looking for to it!#photoadaynov16 #tbr
pickSolid beginning to a series. Looking forward to the next books.
