I read most of this on a 2 hour plane ride. Very good mystery. I read this for a buddy read on Instagram and am looking forward to hearing everyone‘s theories.
Don‘t feel like I can say much more without giving away too much but I was entertained.

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I haven‘t read it - but I enjoyed the tv show, Haven - which is a continuation of this story. 1h
PaperbackPirate I would definitely like to see the show! @thegirlwiththelibrarybag 38m

This was #24 in the China Bayles series, but the first one I‘ve read. The author did a good job of filling in pertinent past information, so I never felt lost. I enjoyed the mystery, and the bits-and-pieces way clues were revealed. I will read more of this series. Set in April in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, this was a last-minute substitution for #SeasonalCozies. Hoopla snatched my original choice back after I‘d only read 2 chapters! 🙃

I wasn‘t in the mood for either The Mystery Writer or David Copperfield, so I went with a world I‘m really familiar with — that of Cork O‘Connor. I think I just needed something I didn‘t have to concentrate on. Cork is only 12 here, and his father is alive. #audiowalk

I re-read this to decide if I could read it on stream. I cannot. It's not just that this book is BAD. That's fine; my chat would have a great time with a bad book. No, it's that it's incredibly, irretrievably RACIST. Some books I quietly remove the slurs so we can read them but in this, the plot is fundamentally racist. There's no way to “fix“ it to not be so deeply harmful. So I'm not going to read it for an audience.

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR: Sorry for the late post! Ch.11-15: Still convinced there is a connection between the suicides, Eve is even more certain once she comes face to face with a woman who kills herself right in front of her. Eve knows this woman was somehow coerced and begins to worry that it‘s a VR unit that Roarke manufactured that is the culprit. But how can such a thing be possible? ⬇️

StayCurious When she asks Roarke he has no idea if it can be done but insists he didn‘t do this. So who did? At Mavis‘ big party, Roarke gets coerced into hurting Eve, something he would never do in his right mind - it rings too true to the suicides. Eve realizes it was Jess and his music console that were behind what happened to Roarke. And both she and Roarke want blood. We don‘t know exactly what Roarke does to Jess behind closed doors. ⬇️ 7h
StayCurious I doubt we want to know. We see a dark part of Roark that he mostly keeps hidden. But can Eve pin the murders on Jess? (edited) 7h

Librarybelle Yeah…we probably don‘t want to know what Roarke did! 7h
LiseWorks Considering what Roarke went through with his Dad and what he had to do living in the streets in Ireland, i think we know what he did before. But somehow, I don't think Jess is the mastermind behind this. 6h
willaful I think Jess is too obvious. Someone is using him, maybe.

That was a really disturbing scene. I find it hard to believe Eve wouldn't have been a lot more upset than she was, especially with her history.

Also not loving the cops covering for each other. Hits too close to home.

CatLass007 @willaful I also found Eve‘s reaction to being sexually assaulted in a closet by her own husband unbelievable. If Roarke was influenced by Jess, is it possible that Eve was influenced by Jess also? 4h

5⭐
This was one smart thriller with a twist or two you won‘t see coming…at least I didn‘t. It's a play on the “Strangers On A Train” trope that is unmatched by any other out there. I highly recommend this mystery suspense thriller to fans of the genre. The narration by Stephanie Cannon was fine but I would‘ve liked multiple narrators for the multiple POVs.

Another morning spent in a doctor‘s office, getting a lot of reading done. The MC of the tagged book, Sylvia, is searching for answers about her mother‘s life. I think it‘s analogous to hubby‘s search for a conclusive answer to his medical issue. Sylvia is making progress; so are we.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I hope he gets to feeling better 💙 15h

Lynnsoprano @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @dabbe @Librarybelle Thanks ☺️ 😘 After 6 months of various doctors and therapies, we finally found out he has a bulging disc in his back. He has no back pain, but the pain doctor said his pain is likely caused by this. So hoping we‘re at the beginning of the end of this saga. 8h
