January 2025 Book #8
I enjoyed this book inspired in real facts and real people. It motivated me to read about what happened in that period of time before WWII and about these characters. I couldn‘t put it down because I like novels inspired in this period of time. 3.8/4 ⭐️
pickThis #8 in the DCI Banks series is a stunner.
A man is charged with the murder of a wealthy, prominent politician‘s daughter.Prior to his trial,the accused spends months in jail,which he narrates in minute detail.I don‘t want to give anything away, but suffice to say there is a clever multi layered plot,& an in-depth character study. The surprising ending left me cynically wondering if her murder will be avenged or court justice will prevail.
pickJanuary 2025 Book #7
My experience with short story collection is that like/enjoy some stories more than others just like this collection. Some of stories were so beautifully written, others in my humble opinion, were like beautiful expressions but didn‘t feel like a short story for me. 3.5⭐️
pickJanuary 2025 Book #2
Dimpsie invited some friends from the theater to spend Christmas with him in his castle located in a private island near to Edinburgh. Dimpsie was found dead near to the tree which appear to be an accidental death…Dun Dun Dunnnand the drama begins….
Quite predictable 😏 with some funny scenes but predictable. I enjoyed it as a holiday read. It should be a so-so but I usually enjoy these crime classic stories🤷🏽♀️3⭐️

Much better score than last week (which was a 14! 😮) Three faves:
1. THE MALTESE FALCON: “When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it.“
2. GASLIGHT: “Are you suggesting that this is a knife I hold in my hand? Have you gone mad, my husband? Or is it I who am mad?“
3. 12 ANGRY MEN: [Juror #8]: “Well, I think testimony that can put a boy into the electric chair *should* be that accurate.“
pickI loved everything about this sweet romance! The right amount of spice and very lovable characters, except for Seth the dirtbag. I loved reading all the Indian phrases and words of endearment. I‘ve never been to India, but I love reading about Indian culture through the voices of characters like these. Book #8 in 2025
