pick1-19-25: My 5th finished book of 2025! Written by the author of The Thursday Murder Club, is a new series. Amy, a body guard, Steve her father in law and Rosie the famous author, set out on an adventure around the globe to solve a case involving the murders of several influencers on Instagram. Steve is a retired cop and not involved in much until Amy starts getting implicated in the murders. And Rosie, she is along for the ride. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣5️⃣

See, I knew I‘d end up flying through this one. It was a fast read and so, so good.

pickYeah. Reread confirms, this is a book that's going to stay with me. I'm glad it's one I own, so I can revisit, probably annually. I think having experienced Tigerman by Nick Harkaway this past year, I have a new scale for 'heart-ripped out' books that affected me emotionally, but even knowing what was coming, this one still got to me. Grief, unshakeable, self-annihilating grief, is the undercurrent throughout the story, 1/?
so-soIt‘s a book of it‘s time, that‘s for sure. If you can handle some of the less flattering language, you might end up enjoying this book. I found the book to be okay. The monster was hard to really picture, but interesting to say the least. Ghost is the best character in the book hands down the best good boy. I‘d say give this book a chance if you‘re bored and want to turn your brain off.
Next up in keeping with my cold and snowy winter theme for January.

So. I‘ve been listening to this. Maybe about 2 hours in. Mark Bramhall is PERFORMING this. But. It‘s dark. It‘s disturbing. It‘s increasingly weirdly violent with bizarre religious fervour and violence. I don‘t mind grit but I‘m not certain I want to continue with it? Anyone else read it? To the end?
pick3⭐ Fun as always. A little more danger in this one. And a more Ranger.
