Welcome to Litsy!

Thankyou Leah. Celia Dale knows how to tell a suspenseful dark tale. This seemed darker to me than the others we‘ve read ( or maybe it‘s just me ). I loved all the details of 1970‘s life in this London house and three well designed characters. I really enjoyed this. 👌🏻❤️🖤

4 Stars • Eleven Numbers by Lee Child, is a short story about a math professor Nathan Tyler who is recruited by the White House to decode a Russian nuclear algorithm. Sent to a Moscow conference, he faces danger and betrayal in a tense, twisty espionage mission.

Just settling in with this one. Perfection…
It‘s an overcast rainy evening and a stranger has knocked on the door, the lady has taken pity on him and let him in … she‘s making tea … suspense from the first page! I love it. @LeahBergen

“I‘m pretty sure I‘ve given him far more than his permitted ration of gummy fruit snacks, but he could sense weakness and I was left without much of a choice.”

As an aunt, I feel this in my bones 😭🤷🏻‍♀️😂😂

5🌟/5🌟

It's rare that I give a thriller 5 stars... but this book was so good!! This was my first book by this author... and it definitely won't be my last. If you haven't read this yet... I highly recommend it.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

My local bookstore asks me to contribute reviews for their newsletter and handed me this one. I wasn‘t sure what to expect when I opened the book, but from page one…wow. Just wow. This is an adrenaline-filled rollercoaster ride, filled with terror and red herrings and so many surprises. Underneath it all is a statement regarding first impressions and the way we tend to not think how our blasé look at world events impacts others. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I had this weird sense of deja vu multiple times while reading this, like I had read the same passages or subplots somewhere else. It made me feel like many of the ideas had been done before.

While I found this on a whole entertaining, the ending, with the constant this is whodunnit, no! this is whodunnit, etc, got a little silly and made it less serious.

I had a rough day. So hubby is taking care of dinner with the kids, and I'm starting a new book with a giant tea... I might even have to go back for a second cup...
