Human Remains | 
pickThis is dark & disturbing, especially the parts from the villain's POV. He is messed up! But calling him a villain isn't quite right. Up until his last "project" is there anything illegal about what he does? Is it even wrong? It feels wrong but it's very grey & that ethical dilemma is the best thing about this book. It feels a little long & a little detached. It's hard to be in Anabel's head too as her reactions are so unusual. Soft pick.
When I got home I could smell the trash cans on the cold air, a faint bad smell that made me wrinkle my nose... and then the dragons arrived. 😄
bailedAfter a promising start .... I‘m bailing, not for me 🤷🏻♀️
On a small road trip & just downloaded my first Elizabeth Haynes ( so much for giving Crime a break 😐)
I‘m excited ... I‘d say she is good. Any more E Haynes recommendations welcome !!!
#ReadingResolutions #CreepyCharacters😱It's been going on five years since I read & reviewed this creepy book, but one of the characters, Colin, still creeps me out.😱Is he just a weird creepy loser or is he somehow involved in the pattern (24 in 9 months) of dead bodies found decomposing in their homes that a police analyst spots after she discovers her own neighbor's body? Either way, reading the chapters told from his POV made me want a shower.
Stack one of possible reads for #RIPXII reading all off of my own shelves! I love this time of year and these types of reads!
pick#TBT to 3 years ago. I read & reviewed this mystery-thriller by one of my favorites, Elizabeth Haynes. The best, scariest thrillers feel real, like it could happen & Human Remains builds a sense of dread as Annabel finds her neighbor's body then discovers while researching at her police dept. analyst job that there are similar cases in her borough--24 in 9 months. Good, creepy, graphic at times. Paired w/ quick bread on my blog review-link below😱
so-so
