How the Dead Speak

I feel like I should of read the previous books in this series to become more invested in the characters. Otherwise great storytelling, gripping and plenty of drama to keep me interested.

I promised some more sinister nuns + this the 11th tony hill/carol Jordan outing the nuns certainly play a very straight bat in the face of what has been appalling child care. These characters are like old socks, very comfortable once you start reading and the last few bks have i felt been a bit hit and miss as they get truly buffeted. This was better but i felt still needed another 100+ pages to explain the real villain. Still i hope not the end.

Cathythoughts Like old socks .... ❤️😁 (edited) 5y

Cathythoughts Appalling child care .... desperately sad , the saddest of all 💔 5y

andrew61 @Cathythoughts yes it was horrible but crime novels do take the worst stories and use them. I'll try and avoid nun novels for a while. 5y

Val's not called the Queen of Crime for nothing.
At the end of the previous book I could not see a way forward for this series. Not in the original sense of how it use to be. But I had great faith in Val after that last sentence. And she did not disappoint!

This book was different from the previous ones in the series, but still just as good.

Last read for 2019. I haven‘t read one of her books for a very long time. This did not disappoint. A quick, engaging read. A perfect holiday read and end to the year.
Happy New Year to you all. 💥💥💥 @MrsMalaprop

ShelleyBooksie I got 3 books in the Louise Penney series and I also received The Winter of The Witch from a wonderful Litten. I got gift cards for my local bookstore and am excited to purchase some books coming out in January. 5y

Enchanted_Bibliophile @ShelleyBooksie Awesome! I love getting gift cards for Christmas. It helps for the loooooong month of January if you can still spoil yourself with some books. 5y

Given the way events have affected things, this is a bit of a different book to others in the series, but despite that it was a very enjoyable book. This series is always changing perspectives and writing books in different ways, following life events for the characters, but this keeps the books fresh and enjoyable. I love this series and hope we will see more.

#SummersEndReadathon 2762 Pages, 7 Books Read.

Andrew65 @Cathythoughts One of my favourite all-time series. Enjoy. 😊 5y

andrew61 Thanks Andrew im looking forward to it and thanks for no spoilers ☺ 5y

Andrew65 @andrew61 I always try to ensure I don‘t give anything away, as would spoil this book and previous books for other people. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it. 5y

Time to pick up the brand new book in the Tony Hill / Carol Jordan Series. Given the devastating events at the end of the last book I‘m not sure how Val takes this series forward. Should be fascinating! I LOVE this series, if you haven‘t read it ...why???? ❤️❤️❤️

TrishB I‘ve forgotten where I‘m up to with these, think I may be a couple behind. 5y

Cathythoughts I‘m definitely going for this series ... sounds really good 👍🏻 5y

Andrew65 @tammysue This month we extended the #24B4Monday to run the extra day as a Summer Special and to finish at the end of Monday. The #SummerEndsReadathon hosted by @Clwojick runs until the end of Friday. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @Cathythoughts Book 2 in the series is one of my all-time favourite books, and love the ‘interesting‘ dynamics between the two leads. 5y

Andrew65 @TrishB Some interesting developments in the last couple. 5y

TrishB Going to review where I‘m up to, then try and catch up eventually! 5y

Andrew65 @TrishB 👍 5y

tammysue Ok thanks! 5y

Crazeedi I've read the first 2 or 3, book 2 was CRAZY!! I'll have to pick this back up soon 5y

Andrew65 @Crazeedi Book 2 is one of my favourite all-time books, Jacko Vance - what a character and he reappears in a later book. 5y

Crazeedi @Andrew65 yes! Definitely a character! Very wild! 5y
