Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It‘s been a minute since I‘ve read a Department Q novel!

These books don‘t disappoint! Great characters along with very intricate storylines that weave and tie end nicely throughout. This one explores the oldies in Denmark when the right wing nationalists wanted to keep Denmark “Danish” and explored the lengths some crazies will go to keep in that way.

The relationships between Carl, Assad and rose gold deeper.

Oh my gosh, there is only one week of June left!!! Which means we are only a week away from being HALF WAY THROUGH 2025!!! I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that years begin with “20“ so we can all see how well I'm doing with the passage of time 😂 Anyway, I hope everyone is having a lovely summer so far (or a cozy winter, depending on where you are!). We are in the midst of an intense heat wave, unusual for this early in the ⬇

Much darker than the Cal Hooper books of hers I read. I liked this better - it was more gritty and I appreciated that things weren‘t neatly resolved. I‘m definitely going to read the next one, which I think focuses on Cassie and I want more of her. This audio wasn‘t great on this one but it was an entertaining listen in the car.

Enjoyable

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Intricate plot, a plethora of characters, side plots, personal lives, all connecting. I couldn‘t guess a damn thang that happened in this novel 😅 what a masterful storyteller. Dense book and the longest in the series so far and it flew by. Really hope Robin catches a break in the next one tho lol

You have to like the writing style of Edgar Wallace which is very simple without any gloss-overs. I especially like his crime novels because tgey are that dry. This one follows episodically the life of master criminal Arthur Milton who purges the crimes of others by doing the work of Scotland Yard.

I simply couldn't live without Sherlock Holmes, so I'd have to say detective fiction is the genre I'd read for the rest of my life. #sherlocked

We‘re a week away from our next #ChristiesCapers discussion! I‘ve seen some good reviews posted so far; this one does get mixed reviews by Christie lovers. I like this one and plan to reread it this week to have it fresh in my mind for next Sunday.

Discussion questions will be posted by 12pm US East Coast time on the 29th! #AgathaChristieClubR3
