pickBook #4
4.5/5
I must say, as much as I love Negan in the show (...ahem...Jeffery Dean Morgan...❤), I found that the season of "war" with the Saviors was just too much action action action. On the contrary, I find this to be the best part so far of the graphic novels. I still haven't watched the last half of the final season. I seem to do this with shows I love. I think part of my brain thinks that if I don't watch it, it didn't end.
pickKaren Pirie Book #4 #serieslove2023
A car crash victim is linked to a cold case that Karen is pursuing. Another case,out of Karen‘s purview,intrigues her whose roots are in a 20 yr old terrorist bombing. So she pursues that case as well. She is a complex character.Along with these cases to contend with, Karen is grieving the violent death of her partner& love.she tries to assuage her grief with late night city walks.Highly recommend this series.
pickThis is #4, but the 1st I‘ve read. It works fine as a standalone. I never felt like I was missing important background. The writing was decent, although there were little things that annoyed me, like the way every witness was described as “hiding something”, like the author tried too hard to create red herrings. The pacing was good. I didn‘t love it, but it‘s good enough that I‘ll read more of the series.

pickI enjoyed this novel, because it was so interesting to know about these immigrant Muslim families , how some of them integrated themselves better to a new culture without leaving their religious beliefs and traditions. Khalid and his mother were more traditional. I liked Ayesha, Nana popular/literary wisdom and Nani. Love the quotes and Ayesha poem and glad that the work discrimination was discussed and resolved.
