The Burning | 
pick2024 Reread.
After 6 years, I've decided to reread this series before tackling book 11 - due to be released this year. First time around, I actually liked Rob & was rather irritated with what happens with his character in future books, & I'm intrigued to find out how reading the series with foreknowledge of that & the introduction of Derwent (whom I hated) will compare with reading it with fresh eyes. (continued)
A great read, very much in the world of India. Characters are relatable!
pickI stayed up late last night and finished my #doublespin before I knew this was the one! I am really excited this one is a series! @TheAromaofBooks
pickThis was a really good, solid police procedural featuring an Irish detective working in England. Maeve is an engaging character, the story is well-written, and my pulse sped up during one critical scene. I did guess whodunnit pretty early, but the story was good enough that I wanted to see how it unfolded regardless.
For the past month or so I've been starting every Saturday with one hour of reading. Before the chores, before tackling my to-do list. One hour of disappearing into a good book. It is fast becoming my favorite way to kick off the weekend.
We're home! Vet visit went fine. I mean, Charlie thought he was going to die... He hates the vet... But she did not seem too worried so that's good news. He's on a special diet of rice and chicken for a while. Which he seems to be quite enjoying. Now we'll just keep doing that and hope it fixes the problem. We're back at our favorite Friday night joint.... The couch.
pickExcuse me while I go kick myself for not reading this book sooner! 😧 So so so good! Maeve is awesome and Rob makes me hopeful for happiness in Maeve‘s life. Even with his sarcasm and quick witt. 1st goal accomplished for #feastmode 🌟🌟🌟🌟 @Hestapleton
Long morning with the little man. He‘s sleeping and I should be an adult and clean. Well, I‘m not! Instead I‘m going to use this precious quiet time to read before the tornado awakes. 🤣
Jumping right in this morning before instructing a Saturday Strength class! Happy to be FINALLY starting the Maeve Kerrigan series. 🤩 Happy Saturday! #NovelNovember
Day 16 #Top20Series #20Series20Days
One of the best female detectives out there. A brilliant series and devoured books 1 - 8 last year, reading along with @EadieB and @Tove_Reads
If you haven‘t read these you need to. Love Maeve‘s interesting relationship with Josh Derwent.

Love Maeve Kerrigan! (It‘s Monday - that‘s the most thought I can summon.)
Day 3 #Top20series #20series20days Maeve Kerrigan. Must read series! Absolutely fantastic literature! So worth reading! I realize I actually prefer series set in the countryside, small towns, remote areas, but this one is set in London. Great characters. Yes, I‘m a Maeve fan 😃 Jane Casey‘s other books are excellent reads as well.
pickThe trick with reviewing mysteries, even older ones like this book, is to make sure you don‘t spoil anything, right? So hard. So without spoiling anything, I‘ll just say that if you like character driven mysteries, you‘ll likely enjoy this book. I did. This is the first in a series featuring DC Maeve Kerrigan and it gives readers more than enough to want to keep reading the series. Recommended.
pickA great listen for my daily commute. I especially liked the main character Maeve. I wonder if the next books also have multiple viewpoints. I might like just Maeve‘s POV! I definitely pick up the next in the series

1. Jane Casey‘s Maeve Kerrigan series was a great addition this year.
2. Cozy recliner or my Tempurpedic adjustable bed.
3. My family is telling me I need to downsize my library.

@gradcat Thanks for the tag
Ooooo, I‘m really enjoying this latest instalment of #whodunituk. Not sure whose selection this one is but I‘ve found it really gripping so far!!
Hi everyone! I'm posting this because @LoveToReadLiveToRead has two #whodunituk books (January's & February's) at the moment so I thought it would help everyone to know whereabouts we are in the group. In May we get our original books back! I hope everyone can see this (Ruth, you're in dark pink/underneath red).

pick@TrishB I liked this one! The only reason I'm looking for them in charity shops is because there's no rush for me to have them - Jane hasn't become an #autobuy author whereas Attica Locke has.

You can change everything about yourself – the way you look, the way you talk, the way you behave – but you can‘t escape what you truly are.
Overall I really enjoyed this first book in the Maeve Kerrigan series. A good new character, and an interesting serial killer or not plot. I look forward to reading on in the series. My only slight gripe, and it is a slight gripe, is at times the story moved along a little too slowly, and felt it needed a bit more dialogue to inject more pace. The ratings for this series only get better so exciting times!
pickgood debut of the Maeve Kerrigan series. Maeve, a female in a mostly male force. Bob Langton, a personal interest in Maeve. 4 women brutally murdered, set on fire. 5th victim is Rebecca Haworth and Maeve is determined to bring her murderer to justice even though she doesn't have much evidence. cleverly written with interesting characters, 2 point of views. Ending complete surprise. recommend this book to those who love psychological thrillers.

#Booked2019 #femaledetective This is my third attempt at finding my female detective.... 3d time lucky ?! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Yes!! It‘s on the way to my library! The old copy vanished, and they ordered two new copies! @Andrew65 What‘s our schedule? I think we were planning on reading this one in February. @EadieB
pick#StartASeries I absolutely loved this. More of a “whydoneit” than a “whodoneit.” I won‘t get into particulars because [spoilers] but I would totally recommend this to fans of Tana French. This was my pick for #femaledetective for #booked2019. Looking forward to continuing the series.
Continuing my #booked2019 journey. I‘ve really been looking forward to this one and so far it has not disappointed.
#StartASeries
@Andrew65 @EadieB Here are my suggestions for our next crime series. I miss Frieda Klein and I need a fix! Withdrawal symptoms. Bad, bad, bad. Let me know which series you two would like to read. Not to worry, these are just five out of about 20 I have on my mind... Have you read any of these series? All are new and unfamiliar to me.
Time to take a break from the cheesy Christmas books and catch up on the next #whodunituk book! 👍🏻
I am posting this very late because there was a mix up at the post office and I almost didn't receive this!! I was a bit grumpy about it all to be honest!!
Thank you @thegirlwiththebookishcandle for the extra book (Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn) and the Haribo!!
#whidunituk
Thank you to @jhod for the next #whodunituk. Really look forward to this one.
Used bookstore haul with the hubs! I had to restrain myself, I had another stack bigger than this but I decided to save it for next time 🤣
Has anyone read amount by Lucinda Berry or Jane Casey? They're new to me authors.
Absolutely beautiful notebook @TrishB and very excited to start a new series, will it be complusory reading for me now...?!
thanks for the lovely bookmark and card @ShookBelf I still need to read the Colleen Hoover - do you mind if I'm bit late...?
pickOther than quite a bit of violence toward women that didn‘t seem fully necessary to the story, I really enjoyed this one. It was more procedural than thriller, and the serial killer wasn‘t the real story, but I liked the cast of characters, especially for the first in a series.
Two of these books I still have yet to read but I did read Liar Liar and loved it. I have a massive TBR and keep pushing books I‘ve owned for a while now to the bottom pile! 😂 #burnittotheground #getmovin
Many thanks @TrishB - your parcel for #whodunituk arrived this morning. The little extras are very much appreciated - you're very generous 🧡🧡
Looking forward to getting started.
pickA quick and interesting read! I love it when books explain a little more about procedural aspects of investigation and autopsy, this one gives some great details and keeps the story moving along nicely.
pickAnother page turner.. 5/5.. Gripping, Intense.. Made a note to track down more of her Maeve Kerrigan Series.. 😊
pickA decent start to the series, with a solid plot and it was readable, if a tad predictable. Rating: 3.5/5
#sharethelitsylove
Congrats Rachel 🎉🎉 and thanks for the giveaway.
As we share a love of many thriller series - I‘m recommending this one if you haven‘t got to it yet.
This is the first one.
#TBRBingo I'm in like sin! I should not buy any books until I get at least one row cleared! I'm going to try really hard.... my husband says he doesn't think I will make it to the weekend without buying a book. Outside of #botm I'm now on a self-imposed book buying ban! This is an awesome idea.
pickStarted the day wonderfully by finishing this in bed 😀 New detective series for me, enjoyed it and have the second on the way!
Number 1 priority today - I'm finishing this book in bed before anything else happens!!

@RealLifeReading
Yes she should have! And friends should not leave drunken friends out on their own!
New series for me. I brought one the other day and realised it was number 7 - so this is number 1.
so-soA little lackluster. The switching points of view wasn't very well done, and main villain was a bit of an obvious stock character. I didn't really find her story compelling or well fleshed out.
I have bumped up the rating for this one to 4🌟 I found Maeve a more sympathetic character this time around, & the storyline, whilst predictable, was good.
