Mehso-so

A solid: Okay. A fast read so you don‘t feel like your spending too much time on a story that isn‘t moving. However, the plot line is just kind of dry and disjointed. The author focuses too hard on trying to stick to police protocol that she misses the catch that keeps you wanting to read more.

Day 12 #AndItsAugust #NeedsMoreLove There are plenty of good British crime authors but Elizabeth Haynes is a favorite of mine who doesn't seem to get as much recognition as some others. I think her books need more love. She writes dark & twisty, whether standalones or her police procedural series (2 books so far). To illustrate the lack of love & recognition, I've been waiting for a new book from her & somehow missed that one came out last year.😬

elkeOriginal Which is your favorite or the best to start with? 7y
JaclynW I have the same question as @elkeo. ☺ 7y
DebinHawaii @elkeo @JaclynW Her first "Into the Darkest Corner" is really good (trigger warning for domestic violence). Human Remains is another of my favorites--really creepy. I like the series too--the first is the tagged book Under a Silent Moon. (edited) 7y

melbeautyandbooks Thanks for the reminder. I have read two of hers and I liked them. For some reason, I haven't read the rest even though they are on my TBR. 7y
MicheleinPhilly I have 2 of these that I have not yet read. Must rectify that. 7y
Ms_T I loved Into The Darkest Corner. I must read more of her books. 7y

Day 30 #MarchIntoReading #startswithuvw Looking through my stacks & read books to find titles that start with U, V & W was interesting. Plenty of W-titles, some U-titles, but all my V-titles were either vegan books or vegan/vegetarian cookbooks.😆 I need more V-title variety! These six are all books I have read and enjoyed. Bonus points for two Ws in Whistling Women! 😉
