Weirdo
Weirdo | Cathi Unsworth
3 posts | 4 read | 6 to read
Named one of the Best Crime Books of the Year by the Guardian , Weirdo is an atmospheric thriller about a teenage girl convicted of murder in a 1980s seaside town and the private investigator who reopens the case to discover that she may not have acted alone . . . Corinne Woodrow was fifteen when she was convicted of the ritualistic murder of her classmate in a quaint seaside town. It was 1984, a year when teenagers ran wild, dressed in black, stayed out all night, and listened to music that terrified their parents. Rumours of Satanism surrounded Corinne and she was locked up indefinitely, a chilling reminder to the parents of Ernemouth to keep a watchful eye on their children. Twenty years later, private investigator Sean Ward whose promising career as a detective with the Metropolitan Police was cut short by a teenager with a gun reopens the case after new forensic evidence suggests that Corinne didnt act alone. His investigation uncovers a town full of secrets, and a community that has always looked after its own.

This is what I love about doing challenges!
I do both an Author & Title A-Z every year, to enhance my MtTBR & shake up my reading. When I DNF‘ed my U author pick with over half a year to go still, I decided to find another choice, even though it wouldn‘t qualify for MtTBR.
Well, what I found was a new author I can‘t wait to dig into deeper 🥰. This book checked all my boxes - can‘t believe I haven‘t come across her sooner.
Read this book!!!

My favorite paper freak, Chico, and I are having a quiet day at home. I've been sorting through books prepping to maybe get rid of some (especially work-related ones), and sorting paper piles, half-watching cheesy Hallmark movies and drinking too much coffee. Fingers crossed I can tear myself away and get some reading done later on. 🤞🏼

Lcsmcat Black and white kitties always seem to like paper. Ours certainly does. 7y
rubyslippersreads Look at those big bunny feet! 😻 7y
erinreads Aw, Chico! 😻 My cat found a balled up receipt at 3 this morning on my nightstand and took it to his lair (under the bed), so I had to make husband get out of bed to lure him out because receipts are loud when they're cat toys... especially at 3 in the morning! 😹 7y

AlaMich @Lcsmcat That's so weird that you say that, because our tuxedo kitty Luna used to love to shred paper with her teeth. She didn't eat it, she just tore it up. I had never heard of that being a thing with b/w cats! (edited) 7y
Bette ❤️🐱👍 7y
Lcsmcat @AlaMich Every tuxedo cat I've known loves paper, especially wadded up bits that can be chased, batted, or caught. 7y
Readerann Ha ha. Chico is an adorable paper sorting assistant! 7y
LauraBrook @Lcsmcat I didn't know this was a thing until now! He's always been a paper lover. 7y
LauraBrook @rubyslippersreads I know, he's such a horse! 😉 7y
LauraBrook @erinreads Hah! Yes, receipt paper is sooo loud! I have to be really careful with that stuff, it's his favorite to rip up. Hope you haven't had any more 3AM adventures with your kitty! 7y
LauraBrook @AlaMich Same here! His sister, who was more of a tuxedo than Chico is, mostly liked to "surf" around the floor on paper. Or the slick cardboard strips you pull off of a new box of Kleenex, those were her fave. Chico love licking and tearing paper, same as yours, no eating! I love cats, they're so funny and quirky! 7y
LauraBrook @Bette Chico says 😽 7y
LauraBrook @Readerann He loves to "help" me with paper! ? 7y
AlaMich @LauraBrook Luna always had a "shredding corner" or "shredding closet." We joked that she would go there when she was stressed to work off her anxiety. Which was funny, because Luna was probably the most chill, UNanxious cat you would ever meet. ❄️? 7y
