I like Hawley, but this is a miss for me…
I loved Hawley‘s Before the Fall, so I thought I‘d go back and read his debut, but frankly, it‘s a mess. I‘m about 1/3 through and can‘t take anymore. The premise is intriguing, but it‘s bloated with unnecessary exposition and scenes that don‘t contribute to the story. Good to know that he learned and grew, so I‘ll stick with his later books.
My first #LMPBC and I‘ve enjoyed all the books read. This literary thriller was suspenseful yet very dense in places. Linus Owen is a professor of conspiracy theories and married to Claudia. One day at work, Linus is informed that his wife has been killed on the way to Brazil. With the help of two friends, Linus embarks on a search across the country asking questions he needs answering. An Interesting read.
#LMPBC
#lmpbc choice, so won't say too much.
@Cupcake12 @charl08 because of Christmas/postal strikes, do we want to start it in January so that we avoid some of the hassle?

Would work for #western #atyin52weeks2023 @BarbaraBB
@Cupcake12 @charl08 I'm currently reading this for #lmpbc but it's an ex-library book and I've just discovered some pages missing. Should I chose a different book or are you happy to continue with the tagged?
#booksandchill as Publisher's Weekly describe it as a chiller in their review.

Just bought this one from the library, along with The Dressmaker by Rosalie Ham.
Not long ago I had a brand new credit card that I used one time online and next thing I knew it was used for for a $ 1000 meal in Belgium!
