Welcome to Litsy!

In an effort to clear the kindle I picked this 2013 buy. it‘s a solid if perhaps unecesssrily complex murder mystery set in the Arizona desert. Narrated by Bridget Quinn in the first person its the story of a somewhat disgraced, early retired FBI agent and the case that got away. Bridget is frankly infuriating but also kind of awesome and it was interesting to have a slightly older protagonist. Apparently now there are also another 3!

The mystery part of this novel was pretty good and the identity of the killer wasn't revealed (or obvious) too early. But some of the decisions made by the main character were so stupid that I found it difficult to believe she was a former FBI special agent.

#62 let‘s keep the morbid dice rolling lol let‘s see if this one is a better read than that last one.

Meh. That's all I have to say.

Going up on Mount TBR, or @Samantha.1020 made me do it. 😄 #blamelitsy

I was so disappointed in this...didn't even finish the second chapter. Joining #springflingreading late, but still eager. #failedtofinish

Enjoying on the porch. It's 80. It's Feb. it's NC. My daughter is jealous and snowed in at college in Massachusetts.

I thought that this book would build on how the main character has to assert herself for example against sexism or ageism in a male dominated environment or at least a more complex main character but that was not the case. It works ok as a thriller but is not what I expected and I feel like an opportunity was wasted...

For a year I gave retirement my best shot. I joined a book club, but the other women started ignoring me when they found out I never read the book.

Heard about this book on the radio! Love the idea that the 'detective' is a 60 year old retired FEMALE FBI agent! :)

Not as good as I was hoping it would be. Took a long while to get into it. Seemed to have a lot of running around and not really getting anywhere. I wasn't as invested in this read, and didn't really connect with the main character as much as I hoped I would. When the action kicked in, and the story started to move, then it got interesting, and I couldn't put it down.

Someone isn't happy I have another book handy... but he doesn't mind curling up beside me while I read. 😍

Finished #24in48 last night with 17:35! Not too shabby for my first time out. It was so fun to devote big chunks of time to reading over two days. (Probably helped that the kiddo was building LEGOs all weekend! 😉)

Finished off by starting this thriller recommended by Nancy Pearl. So far, it's gruesomely terrific.
