This thriller was a page turner with its many twists. But the end was not as I expected, maybe rush or too simple. But it kept me reading. 3/3.5 ⭐️

so-soAfter 9/11 the narrator of this book moves from NYC to Lisbon to wait for the end of the world. He‘s waiting for his partner Cecilia in his new apartment, that very much resembles the NY one.
Described as a psychological thriller the book is much more a stream of conscience novel and I have to say I got very confused at the end. Just like the narrator. Not sure what to think.

pickI enjoy the Lucy Stone mystery series. The books are well-written, and the characters feel realistic. This book is #31 in the series. Lucy‘s daughter is getting married, and I could so identify with the “wedding industrial complex” that suddenly takes over their lives! I also appreciated the thoughtful treatment of the history of the Native Americans in Maine. And it‘s a cozy, so of course there was a murder! It kept me guessing until the end.

I don‘t remember when or why I bought this book, bu I really enjoyed it and will definitely pick up the next one in the series. I kept waiting for a major betrayal and was shocked when it happened. I‘m glad Isla found her purpose and what she was truly made of. Book #31 in 2025
An alternate universe “Frankenstein“ story. A dedicated scientist tries to bring her sister back to life but another spirit inhabits the body, desperately afraid of being driven out or further experimented on. A poignant story about identity and found family.
