Welcome to Litsy!

Vera is the best!

At a writers' retreat, one of Vera's neighbours is discovered wandering the corridors with a knife in her hand moments after a dead stabbing victim is found.

Enjoyable mystery.

A good escape but not my favorite in the series so far. A writers‘ retreat where the attendees start being killed off. Vera‘s crankiness was less endearing this time around and it all seemed to drag on a bit.

Hi everyone today I am taking myself away to windermere for 3 day's (excited) anyway my Keswick change over I found this Literature Festival for March.

Well at least I‘ve finished one book on the #readingretreat
Another great Vera mystery, last person on my list for the murderer.

It was a dark and stormy night!!
It certainly was, couldn‘t sleep through the noise. Early morning read in bed.

Hardly done any reading the past couple of days. Quick lunch time cup of tea and a couple of chapters.

Not my favorite of the series, but still an enjoyable read.⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another solid Vera mystery that I couldn‘t put down once I‘d started. I like Vera and the dynamics of the team, and how each member contributes to the investigation.

Having watched the Vera series on TV I had to agree with my partner, who read this book first, that you can imagine Vera and Joe saying the words written in the story. Following the case in this story was long and drawn out, ideal for a TV series, it was far to slow a read for my liking. Even with compelling content I couldn't say that I liked this book. Compared with other crime novels is was just OKish

This month I read 3 European authors. I decided to try & read as many mystery translations as I can find while reading across Europe. I am open to any suggestions from Littens!

Vera has an aha moment of clarity while “... hurtling through the night in the carriage...” She knows who the murderer is. “...she just has to prove it.” Vera seems to percolate all her tidbits of information until just the right amount of brewing time. I have not seen the TV series based on these books. Thinking of checking season one out.

While I was making coffee, Em & Poe were checking out my book. 😻😻

A book to read and a coffee to drink while I wait for my son.
Love their Polish pottery mugs. Feels elegant.

Relaxing and enjoying Vera Stanhope‘s world. After pizza and some news, reading with hubby in bed. Heavenly.

The light had almost disappeared and the mist had returned like a fine drizzle on her skin. On the terrace the wrought-iron furniture appeared ghostly and insubstantial, a distorted memory of warm summer days.

I really love coming to a series late, that way I know I have many books to look forward to reading. Halfway through the Vera series by Ann Cleeves and they are just perfect for my hectic lifestyle right now.

I usually enjoy Ann Cleeves, but I was disappointed in this particular Vera Stanhope mystery. I just didn't care who did it. Or why. That being said...I love Vera and Joe as characters.

#bookisholympics Its 12.15am Sunday here so I've officially finished the olympics. Yay! As well as the nine books here, I also finished The Glass Room by Ann Cleeves & I got through half of A Court of Thorns & Roses. So all up its 10.5 books in 7 days. I'm quite proud of that, though I do have a lot more free time than most people competing, but hell. Not bad for a self taught reader! #goingforplatinum🏅🏋

#bookisholympics #bookthree Ok, book three is done & dusted. Would have been done an hour ago but the hubby coaxed me onto his motorbike for the first time since I was 21. I haven't felt that free in years, I even let go and had my arms up like on a roller coaster! Anyway, book. Right. This was another brilliant Vera book, about a group of aspiring writers at a retreat until one of the tutors is murdered. Very entertaining. #rebelwithoutacause

#bookisholympics #bookthree Onto book three, & I've picked The Glass Room, book5 in the Vera Stanhope Mysteries. DI Vera Stanhope is not one to make friends easily, but when her neighbour goes missing she feels obligated to help. When she's found alive & well at a writers retreat, Vera is relieved, but a body is found & her neighbour is there with a knife in her hand. At 374pges long it's well above the novel cutoff, plus the font is really tiny!
