pickWell this was a bit different! Split into 3 sections with the first giving the background of the case & the main players with alternative scenarios of what could have happened. The second section details the evidence of the case. At the end of the second section, the reader can register their decision online as to whether they believe, based on the evidence, that Camb was guilty of misadventure, guilty of murder, or guilty of manslaughter.

pickI mostly enjoyed reading this but I didn't get the sense of Rulloff being some criminal mastermind. Whilst he was undoubtedly extremely intelligent, in my view a great deal of Rulloff's 'genius', like Jack the Ripper, was down to the luck of committing his crimes before the advent of forensic science & the widespread use of photography. (Continued in comments)
so-soLike the previous books this is a fast-paced read & the subject is rather dark. There's also a hint of the occult about the murders but I was expecting something more considering the first book of the series. In fact, I found this one a little less riveting than the previous books, & that's possibly because there was quite a lot of focus on the main characters' love-lives & I'm never a big fan of that. (Continued in comments)
pickFinally got to start the latest in the brilliant Roy Grace series, book 16. As always this was an excellent read but felt a bit different, initially we find Roy working in London, and there didn‘t seem enough of him or of his team, and the team meetings which are the real strengths of this series for me. However despite this I was hooked throughout and wanted to continue reading. Left on a real cliff hanger so now need to wait a year!
With one day left for #CocoTurns50
One week into #CocoTurns50.
Progress so far :
1. Read 3616/ 4000 pages
✅2. Read 12 / 10 books
3 Read 1/4 NetGalley books
Looks like I should exceed on two targets, but fail miserably on the third one. Really need to prioritise my net galley books over the next week and catch up on reviews.
