Welcome to Litsy!

Got to meet this lovely individual today and listen to her talk about her work!

Next up is my September #bookspin.

Just a couple mystery/suspense picks, as usual. #BOTM

There were so many characters in this story that I physically charted them out. When I finally keyed in on who I thought mattered most to the story, I was able to enjoy this opioid mystery. Even though it concluded well, I have to wonder if there is more to come with Eli‘s story because this one was chock full of character development. …BTW- the background pic is a sister‘s Wisconsin front yard!

4/5⭐️ Really enjoyed this #mystery. Characters are well written and the story is very engaging. Looking forward to the second book in the series. Heard about the book through the Thoughts on a Page #2024 #bookreview #contemporary #fiction #thriller

My plan is to dip in and out of each these books this weekend, hopefully finish one or two of these books. #weekendreads

This was good. It's an overarching murder mystery with elements of substance abuse and PTSD. The characters were well fleshed-out and interesting. The setting was a small lake town in northern Wisconsin, which I loved as I grew up in northern Minnesota.

The vacation town of Shaky Lake is rocked when a teenager is found dead and another one is missing. This is a gripping police procedural featuring the classic flawed investigator. I could not put this one down.

Good debut mystery/thriller. Pease nailed the small, resort town, WI setting. This is going to be a series, I guess. Look forward to reading the next! #BOTM

Pretty good debut mystery.

A lot is going on in this small lakeside resort town which has a woman sheriff and only two other police officers - one being her son Eli who has PTSD from his time in Afghanistan.

NORTHWOODS was a bit confusing at first, but once the investigation got going, my interest picked up.

A well-written debut.

This is a debut novel and it was interesting to say the least. While I did find a few things aggravating about this book it was still good. It had a lot of the things that I enjoy in a good mystery. Murder, kidnapping, drug addict, PTSD, possible alcoholic, relationships, children and a few more things.

A procedural taking place in a summer resort in Wisconsin. I especially loved the voice of Eli, the police investigator, who is also fighting alcoholism and PTSD. The book is well written, and as more secrets are revealed it only becomes more interesting. The opioid epidemic features heavily into this and makes what should be a wholesome summer getaway turn into a nightmare.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley and the publisher.
