Welcome to Litsy!

Did I know Bradbury wrote crime fiction before this book caught my eye in the bookstore? Nope, sure didn‘t. This is an entertaining collection of stories. Some are better than others, as is usually the case, but together they are more entertaining than not. Great plot twists, diverse settings, fantastic range of characters from thugs to circus performers to ventriloquists & more, the supernatural. Bradbury‘s crime fiction is a good read.

@Jadams89 here are your #trappedinaspookyhouse picks! I chose Joyland and Rebecca because I read them and loved them! I picked the other two on the bottom row because the covers are fun. And I picked the other in the top row because the cover is beautiful 🤷🏻‍♀️
@PuddleJumper thanks for organizing!!

Hey Littens ! Please send finding energy! I‘ve lost a library book in my house! 😱😕📚👻

Ray Bradbury mysteries for some weekend reading…

I picked this up yesterday after reading one of Starr‘s comics. I‘m not a huge crime guy but I dabble. Love the pulp aesthetic

3.0⭐️

This wasn‘t my favorite read and it took me a while to get through but I‘m really happy I gave this a chance. I‘ve been wanting to explore older books and different types of crime novels since paranormal noir is one of my favorite genres. The craziness of the end of this book was hilarious to see and I was honestly surprised with who ended up with the money.

Stopped by a Barnes & Noble and just wandered until something caught my eyes. Today‘s winners were the tagged book—I‘m not even sure I knew Bradbury wrote crime fiction—and a middle grade fantasy, the first couple of pages were very entertaining. Looking forward to the long weekend and some good reading.

Decent crime fiction. This was a random library pick because it‘s an Edgar winner, has a 4.42 on GR, and Dennis Lehane recommended it. I was curious about the Hard Case Crime covers, and they all seem to be like this! (There‘s almost no sex in this one. 😙)

1. Puzzle entitled Good Hair. I thought it was beautiful!
2. See the tiny rocket on the left? Daughter sent this image from Cape Canaveral.
3. Anybody catch this viral image of two kids with Obama taking a walk in the background?
4. Wow, my incredible library now has pick up lockers RIGHT NEAR MY HOUSE! I can walk there.
5. Really happy this week to have Litsy in my life.

Great book! Definitely an early work of his, not quite into his stride on writing style/story cadence as some of his later works like Jurassic park, but very interesting and a quick read. Professionals diver gets hired by seedy group to recover articles from sunken boat...and gets tangled in their web. 8/10 would recommend
