Welcome to Litsy!

The Tour de France. Racing! Tension! Crashes! Murder? Someone is willing to kill to influence the race, and cyclist Marc gets recruited by the police to help flush out the murderer.

An interesting read! Lots of info about cycling and the Tour. And fast paced, the drama kept up during the whole story. But the characters all felt a little flat, to where I kind of didn‘t care who won? And I felt really unsatisfied with the ending. 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑

Forgot to snap a pic before I returned the book to the library, so here‘s a glamor shot of Gus instead 🐶

I have to give the author props for keeping me consistently interested in competitive cycling (something I knew next to nothing about) throughout the mystery. I did guess the saboteur fairly early on, I wasn‘t wowed by the ending, and this definitely would not pass the Bechdel test, but I somehow still wound up liking it overall!

July‘s #diversecozy buddy read is The Black Jersey! 🚴🧐

Described as Murder on the Orient Express meets the Tour de France, I picked this mystery in translation to coincide with the Tour, which starts today, and this month‘s #foodandlit country.

Looking forward to starting soon! Please let me know if you‘d like to join in on this casual buddy read 🙂
