pickI read this in 2016. I love Harlan Coben & his books. When I saw that Nobody‘s Fool was a sequel to this I couldn‘t figure out where Coben would be taking us. Soooo, I reread this so I can go into Nobody‘s Fool with it fresh in my mind.
Typical twisty Coben.

pick5-8-25: My 32nd finished book of 2025! A historical fiction account of a group of female mystery writers including Dorothy Sayers and Agatha Christie trying to become members in the male driven Detection Club. Once they have joined and realize they will never being taken seriously, they set out to solve a real life “locked door” mystery of a young nurse brutally murdered. They travel between England and France to find clues and bring justice.
This was a good book but was too slow in some parts and I didn‘t love how the main character never seemed to learn.
pickThis book was wild. A person is murderer during an extreme croquet tournament and there are a zillion wacky characters who might have done it. This series has been growing on me and I‘m going to have to go back and start at the beginning one of these days.
This was my April sports themed #ThematicCozy
pickI easily binged this series. The mysteries were fun and i enjoy the relationships between the various characters.
pickI love this series. I especially love listening to the audio of these cozy mysteries. The stories are formulaic but also entertaining.
1- tagged along with Cardinal Sins from our library store. Trying to curb spending. Incidentally they are both #blameitonlitsy purchases
2- yes but only here. I find GR to be overwhelming and lacking the social connection I need. I vet Amazon reviews against what Litsy had to say 😆

so-soI‘m so conflicted about this one. I really liked the mystery and its twists and turns. I enjoyed the intrigue on the boat. I really liked Anne, Suzanne, and Colonel Race. But I hated Sir Eustace and I wasn‘t a fan of Harry. The colonialism and casual racism of the South African backdrop + the overt sexism/objectification of women really bothered me. I had a really hard time setting aside those latter elements with excuses of it being ⤵️
Starting a new book while I wait for lacrosse to end.
