3.5 ⭐️

Short novella. Kate Burkholder and Tomasetti go away for a weekend. They end up intrigued by a missing person case. It was short, and not a whole lot happened. But that's how most novellas in a series are. This was my #BookSpinDouble

😊Happy Reading 😊

Latest Karen Pirie was good fun. Set in lockdown a librarian at the national archives links a crime writers manuscript to the disappearance of a young woman. With lots of nods and winks to the Scottish crime writing community, I think val macdermid enjoyed making the villains fellow crime writers. I enjoy the characters in the series, + it also still feels strange remembering lockdown. Hopefully, a new one soon + maybe a further TV adaptation

kspenmoll Great series! 3mo

Glad I gave her another go. This was her first book and I have really enjoyed it. The characters are very real. Looking forward to reading more with the detective Cormac.

Avanders I love this series! Which one of hers did you read first? 4mo
Jeg @Avanders I read The Murder Rule and just recently What Happened to Nina. I didn‘t warm to either of them. Just so so. Think I‘m a Cormac fan though. 😊 4mo
Avanders Those are the only 2 of hers that I haven‘t read! Good to manage my expectations. 😉 I definitely found the Cormac series to be the best. 4mo

I somehow ended up putting the fourth book in this series on hold at the library (I think from a YouTube recommendation), but decided to return it and start at book 1. It was a good start to detective series, although all the more heartbreaking bc you really get to know the victim through flashbacks. Lots of twists and looking forward to the next book!

This is an excellent detective/crime story with a fantastic narrator. More so than any other audiobook I‘ve listened to, I envisioned it so clearly like a movie the whole time I was listening.

I loved the setting, having just been to southern Sweden. However, I was indifferent to the main character, felt her professional nemesis was portrayed as an OTT irredeemable jerk, and didn‘t really care about the murder so I bailed without finding out whodunnit.

The body of a girl who has been missing for 30 years has been found, as well as the secrets that were buried with it.
Page-turner! I did not guess the culprit until the end.

#unpopularopinion I just can‘t get into this one. The personal lives of the detectives feel like needless distractions. I don‘t care about the case. I know it can‘t be as easy a solve as the current set up, so there has to be a big twist coming, but I find that I simple don‘t care. Plus, I almost cried when I saw how much of the book I had left to listen to. That‘s never a good sign.
