The sensational new crime novel from the bestselling author of SNAP IT WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO BE MURDER . . . Pensioner Felix Pink is about to find out that its never too late . . . for life to go horribly wrong. When Felix lets himself in to Number 3 Black Lane, hes there to perform an act of kindness and charity: to keep a dying man company as he takes his final breath . . . But just fifteen minutes later Felix is on the run from the police after making the biggest mistake of his life. Now his routine world is turned upside down as he tries to discover what went wrong, while staying one step ahead of the law. Exit is the heart-pounding, heart-breaking, and often hilarious new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Belinda Bauer. __________ 'Belinda Bauer's fiction teems with life.'

An elderly widower, who is with a volunteer group that helps terminally ill people ‘take their own lives‘, finds himself on the run from the police. Although the subject matter is a serious one, there is much humour in the novel. The characters are likeable and endearing, especially the older ones. If you‘re a fan of The Thursday Murder Club series, you‘ll enjoy this.
Thanks @TrishB for sending me this copy some time ago. 😅😘

Cathythoughts Nice review! I really enjoyed this one. 13mo

Not much reading done recently, as I have been binge watching some TV detective series. Marcella, a British nordic noir series, kept me at the edge of my seat - but I stopped at season 2, too much grimness and violence to continue). Then Happy Valley, absorbing and fantastic - I highly recommend!

Anyway started the tagged book. Hope it‘s good, as I liked Rubbernecker and Snap.

Happy Monday!

batsy I loved the first season of Happy Valley! I should catch up on the following seasons. 13mo
erzascarletbookgasm @batsy Please do! Season 3 last episode (finale) just released earlier this month. Very good! 13mo
Cathythoughts I really enjoyed Exit ! 13mo
MyNamesParadise I loved Happy Valley!! I don‘t have the streaming service the new season is on though. 13mo

#12Booksof2022 🎶 On the third day of Christmas my true love read to me, a warm witty mystery 🎶

For my twelve, I‘m highlighting my favorite audiobooks of the year. Great books that were all the more enjoyable thanks to outstanding narration &/or production.

Andrew65 Not read this yet, clearly need to sort that. I love great audiobooks so thanks for sharing your favourite ones. 1y
jlhammar @Andrew65 Hope you enjoy! I feel like the cover and description are somewhat misleading, making it seem darker than it is. I was delighted to find it was funny and heartwarming. I also enjoyed Bauer‘s previous book, Snap, though I read that one in print. 1y
Andrew65 @jlhammar On my list for 2023. 1y

A bit disappointed with this one, loved the other two books I've read by Bauer but this one was just a bit flat 😑

BarbaraBB I felt so too. I loved Snap. Which one did you love? 2y

At first glance this mystery may seem dark, but it is actually quite heartwarming and humorous. Gave me some Thursday Murder Club and A Man Called Ove vibes.

Felix Pink, a 75 year old widower, volunteers as an Exiteer helping terminally ill patients end their own lives. Things do not go as planned on a particular job prompting an investigation.

This was an Earphones Award winner from last year. Excellent narration by Rupert Degas. Great listen.

EvieBee Wow! This sounds great! 2y

This was a very entertaining novel and the narration for the audio is outstanding! Felix, one of the main characters, has a bit of Ove Lindahl about him. The “who dunnit” plot got a little convoluted and far fetched in the end, but that didn‘t detract from the enjoyment.

Will have my eye out for more from Bauer!

I've never read a murder mystery full of such heart and humor and kindness. 🤔 It was an intriguing mystery with a gentle, kindly MC, compassionate cops, and various quirky characters. This is my first by this author but definitely won't be the last!

This is a fun read about an elder man, who incidentally commits a murder and wants to deal with that in a decent way. Completely different from Snap, which I liked better, but an enjoyable read nevertheless.

Great read. Bauer doing what she does best- quirky, funny/sad characters and a great plot. Twisty and didn‘t see the ending.
Always a treat with her books.

Absolutely brilliant! My first 5 ⭐️ read of 2021. Bauer writes excellent plots, she‘s my favourite crime fiction writer.

This will be compared to The Thursday Murder Club (which I enjoyed) due to the age of the protagonist and I don‘t know if it will be as successful but it should be because it is the better book.

Felix Pink is an Exiteer, a stranger who sits with a terminally ill person whilst they commit suicide. This time the wrong person ends up dead, and Felix is now wanted for murder.

I requested this as I enjoyed Snap by the author, but I found this MC to be rather dull & I expected it to take a darker turn, given the subject matter, than it did. 2⭐

Thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Random House UK/Transworld, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
