The reasoning offered in this book for the disappearance of Agatha Christie is as good as truth as far as I'm concerned.

Here‘s my review. This book is not on Litsy so I‘m adding it under the tagged book.

This book counts for:

☑️ 3 readathons - #wintergames, #readyourkindle, #bookspinbingo

☑️ 2 hrs of reading (It only took me 2 hrs to read this.)

☑️ Holiday or winter read (This psychological thriller novella is set during Christmas.)

This was a short but solid title that focused on the Victorian era tradition of telling ghost stories by the fire on Christmas Eve. Far from scary though, these tales are served with healthy portions of wit and sarcasm.

Rereading the Giver quartet. Kira is such a wonderful character, and I'm looking forward to rereading the final two books where the storylines all come together.

A very good installment in the Inspector Rebus series, in which Rebus investigates a school shooting that involves a family connection.

This novel is slow-paced and the characters unreliable, but I found the story very moving and I expect it will stay with me for a long time.

A heartwarming story about a mother and daughter in wartime England and the power of the books that bring them together. Emma Taylor needs to find a job to support herself and her daughter. She is a single mom and there is a war going on and Germany is bombing England. She signs up to send her daughter, Olivia, to the countryside to escape the bombs.

EadieB Books are mysteriously mis-shelved and disappearing, and her work forces her to confront the memories of her late father and the bookstore they once owned together before a terrible accident. I loved this story. There are many books mentioned throughout the book. Books that people are reading in order to not think about the bombs being shelled all over England. 9h
EadieB If you like stories about books and bookshops you will love this book. As the Blitz intensifies in Nottingham and Emma fights to reunite with her daughter, she must learn to depend on her community and the power of literature more than ever to find hope in the darkest of times. Highly recommended! 9h

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn‘t just any thirteen-year-old: she‘s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region‘s residents. And this isn‘t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara‘s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago

EadieB never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore‘s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore‘s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet. This is a very good read. One child goes missing in 1961 and another goes missing in 1975. 10h
EadieB Both of them are from the Van Laar family who are owners of the camp. The story has multiple characters, scenarios and suspects. The setting is the Adirondacks. If you like stories about being lost in the woods then you would love this book. Highly recommended.
