I‘m not sure what all happened this month that I only finished four books, but in any case the tagged book was my favorite. #wrapup

Bookwormjillk I think there was some sort of warp in time/space that made the month go too fast 4d

I wasn‘t expecting to read this in May, but it became available after having been hard to find for months. So I read it in three days! It would have been two, but I was tired after a long day.

This is the seventh book in a series I started reading years ago for #whodunnitbymail back in the day. Thanks to @PatriciaU for suggesting that first book!

While this series has the “bones” to continue, I got strong conclusion vibes.

Andrew65 I love her Ruth Galloway series if you haven‘t read them. 1w
Susanita @Andrew65 I will probably start that once I catch up with her Harbinder Kaur series. 2d

This is a direct sequel to The Satsuma Complex which I enjoyed very much. Unfortunately, Bob‘s shtick didn‘t work so well for me here. A smile or two, but no laughs and the story wasn‘t strong enough to make up for it. Not bad, but definitely disappointing.

squirrelbrain Yes, I read reviews that said it wasn‘t anywhere near as good as the first one - but hubby still seemed to enjoy it. (I‘ve read the first but I‘m not desperate to jump into this one!) 7mo

In an unusual twist for me, I watched the series of this prior to reading the books as I hadn‘t realized it was a book series first. That said, I really enjoyed this take on the police procedural and that Det Roy Grace as more depth and compassion than many of the literary police detectives. The book hewed closely to the episode of the series but I‘ll definitely be reading more.

Chemicals are not balanced at the pool today, so I guess I‘m gonna sit outside, watch the birds, drink more coffee and read this rather entertaining book instead.

#serieslove2024 I didn‘t read any Peter James last year so I thought it was high time to check one out again . Roy Grace is on the case of a rapist with a fetish for women in designer high heels .Roy wonders if there are more than one perpetrator and if it links back to an old case that was never solved . A Page Turner!

TheSpineView Great job! 1y

After the events of the last book, Emma and Sam decided to start a detective agency, and their first case is a doozy. I found the parallel investigations of the police and the detective agency to be a little repetitive, but I liked the story otherwise. I‘d thought it was the last in the series, but Goodreads tells me there‘s at least one more. I‘m glad, because this one opens up some interesting threads for the main characters. #serieslove2024
