bailedI didn't realize this was a murder mystery. I tried to stick it out, but I just don't care.

February #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin
I'm going to live la vida loca and read the DoubleSpin first!😲 Crazy, right?! 🤣
pickThis was my #DoubleSpin for this month, and WOW was it intense! It was incredibly disturbing and most of the time I didn't want to put it down as the main character became more and more unhinged. As with most of the books Jenny Lawson has picked for her Fantastic Strangelings book club, I was left wondering what I had just read, but in a good way.
so-so4.0 ⭐️. Didn‘t live up to the hype I expected
“Anna? We‘re recording.”
The camera pans up from a long crack in the linoleum floor to rest on the hunched-over frame of a girl.

pickOMG! Peter Swanson is now definitely one of my favorite authors! The book has a great storyline; it‘s kind of an homage to Agatha Christie. I really like the character Malcolm, the bookstore owner but..I really can‘t say much more or I‘ll spoil it for others. Please read the book and enjoy!
“From the hugely talented author of The Kind Worth Killing comes a chilling tale of psychological suspense and an homage to the thriller genre tailor-made for fans: the story of a bookseller who finds himself at the center of an FBI investigation because a very clever killer has started using his list of fiction‘s most ingenious murders.”
so-soA bookseller finds himself at the center of an FBI investigation because someone is using his list of 8 perfect murders as their calling card. I liked the premise and that it‘s an homage to classic whodunnits, but in the end I was underwhelmed. It‘s slow and purposeful, but doesn‘t have a lot of tension. I didn‘t really connect with the writing style, and the characters were too underdeveloped for me to actually care. 3/5⭐️
