The Last Murder at the End of the World: The dazzling original new high concept murder mystery from the author of the much loved, The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle | Stuart Turton

pick

A small island. About 125 inhabitants. One is found dead. It could have been any inhabitant. Because everyone's memory of the night had been erased including the AI's who was the only one capable of doing so.
The murder collapsed the barrier keeping the island safe. If the villagers can't find the murderer and get the AI to raise the barrier again they'll all die. It's a race against time, they have less than two days.

Balibee146 Looking forward to this one 👍 2w

TrishB I‘m thinking I‘m the only person who doesn‘t like this author 🤷‍♀️ also I have AI every second in work, feels like the only thing we‘re talking about. So I‘m reading medieval based books from now on 😁 2w

julesG @TrishB It was a low pick. Not because of the AI, but it played a role. 2w

Andrew65 Well done 👏👏👏 2w

TrishB 👍🏻 I don‘t feel I‘m missing out. 2w

The Missing Maid: The BRAND NEW page-turning historical cozy murder mystery from Holly Hepburn for 2024 | Holly Hepburn

pick

Demoted to a small dark office in the basement of the bank in Baker Street, Harry now has to answer letters sent to Sherlock Holmes. She comes across a letter from her home village and decides to not only write back as assistant to Mr Holmes, but to investigate herself. Of course she finds the missing maid, but also much more.

A short cosy mystery. Perfect palate cleanser.

The Other Valley: A Novel | Scott Alexander Howard

so-so

Odile lives in an unnamed valley close to a lake. East of the valley is the exact same valley, just 20 years in the future. West of the lake is 20 years in the past. Citizens can petition to visit the valley to the East or West under special circumstances and after consideration and under strict security conditions by the Conceil.
Odile notices such visitors one day after school and identifies who they are, and by that... ⬇️

julesG ... that her friend from school will die.

Speculative Fiction about time's progress and whether we should or even can interfere with it.

What made me put this down over and over again was that there are no punctuation marks or indentations that indicate dialogue. I know this is a current trend, but it's annoying when you have to track back half a paragraph because you did not notice there was dialogue until the end of it. 3w

TrishB That current trend needs to be over! 3w

julesG @TrishB Yes, sooner rather than later. 3w

Bookwomble @TrishB Seconded! (Actually, thirded!) 3w

Lindy I just picked up my library hold but haven‘t started reading it yet. I checked just now to see the dialogue style in the Canadian edition and it‘s without dialogue marks. In general, I don‘t mind, although it depends on the author‘s skill. I find the absence tends to contribute to my immersion in the story rather than detracting from it. 3w

julesG @Lindy It might be easier when you read the finished novel. The eARC had strange line breaks and that made the missing dialogue "landmarks" even more of a nuisance. 3w

Lindy @julesG Yes, digital ARCs can be rough 3w

Wanted to read the tagged #ARC. You know, eroding #MountARC and all that... Got sidetracked and spent nearly an hour reading reviews and review comments on Goodreads. 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️🙈🤦🏻‍♀️🙈🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyone else regularly fall down a reviews rabbit hole?

RaeLovesToRead I'm going to go see Stuart Turton next month. He is awesome! 4w

julesG @RaeLovesToRead I'll let you know if I've got any questions for him. I'd love to live somewhere where I can go to author events without having to use my passport 😐 4w

Hooked_on_books I do sometimes do that. Sometimes I‘m glad I did and sometimes I regret it, as some people have spoilers they don‘t mark as such. 4w

Ruthiella Totally. Sometimes I spend more time reading ABOUT reading than I do actually reading books. 😆 4w

The Ministry of Time: A Novel | Kaliane Bradley

Change of scenery for this afternoon's reading - #GhostCat and I are at the vets'. Her feline highness has a wound in a rather delicate area that might need antibiotics.

Never a dull day, especially when I had planned to have a dull afternoon.

julesG @Balibee146 @Cupcake12 @kspenmoll @dabbe @squirrelbrain @AnnCrystal - Thank you. 2mo

RaeLovesToRead Poor Ghost. Is she gonna need a cone of shame to stop her chewing on it? 2mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead Sure. The funnel has been attached. 😈 She was grumpy for a few hours and since then she's been basically clinging to me. The bubo has been expressed. It was wet all last night (my sheets look interesting) but it seems dry for now. Will try to clean up and disinfect the area again later today. 2mo

RaeLovesToRead Hope she is doing OK! Not sure I needed to know about the bubo 🤣🤣🤣 Give her a snuggle from me! 2mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead You're a GP, you can handle the mild TMI. 😜 2mo

RaeLovesToRead Just don't post a pic of the leaky bubo sheets for us all to admire hahaha 🤣 2mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead Damn! Too late for that. Fresh sheets on the bed and the others are in the machine. I promise you get a picture tomorrow. 😈😝😜 No, won't post a picture, promise. I actually hope the doctor uses that silver spray stuff on the wound when we visit tomorrow, Ghost is nothing like her usual self with the cone on. 2mo
