Death of a Spy | M.C. Beaton

pick

The latest in the Hamish Macbeth series is kind of a tie-in to events that happened in the previous book. Green‘s contribution to the series has made the narrative a bit more polished, which I think has made the characters and setting fresher and in some ways has revitalized the series.

I can tell I am that distracted that I forgot to take a photo of the book before returning it to the library! So, enjoy a photo of #SebastianKitty #CatsOfLitsy !

Foul is Fair | Hannah Capin

#Scarathlon #Buddyread #HHC
A reread for #Scarathlon. 😳 While I loved all of the references to MACBETH,
it was sometimes difficult to take the journey with the hero in this novel. Why? Well, the hero is a sociopath for one, and even though she‘s justified in what she does, it makes for a blood-gripping ride. I couldn‘t put it down, but I didn‘t walk away with any human-condition idea to make me a better person. ⬇️

dabbe Reading it felt like being on a 100-mile-an-hour rollercoaster. Then, once you get off, your whole body is wobbly; you stumble over to the trash can, throw up, then want to do it again. Maybe. #aahliterature

I thought this book was really interesting but something about it didn't fit with me. The references and overlap of the history of Shakespeare and Macbeth were fascinating but something about how they were presented detracted from the action and I found myself rereading aspects as there was almost too much detail packed in. I know that's a strange criticism but it's hard to explain any other way.
