This was so much fun!
I loved this set of characters. Sweet little ol' people back to their old ways and honestly Joyce is quite adorable whereas Elizabeth is mysterious and a delight. I do like the ruff on Ron, he sounds like a cinnamon roll that could kill where as Ib, a bit mysterious as well but he didn't get a lot of screen time compared to the others but so far I do like this group.

"Why even be a fake alcoholic if I couldn't speak my slightly altered truth and be embraced as a survivor?" --rich, privileged serial killer trying to overcome his addiction to killing by attending AA meetings, not understanding why no one feels sorry for his stress endured when trying to get into an Ivy League school and being forced to learn ballroom dancing. ?

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! I found Master of the Revels to be a somewhat aggravating read, so I'm interested to hear your thoughts 😂 2d

Listening to this, narrated by Robert Glenister. Strike has found the missing man - but I'm only 1/3 through the book. Enjoying the story (set in London).

Golden Age Crime in Translation. I think the best thing about this is the new minimalist cover from Picador. I don‘t know if my issue is with the translation or the story itself, but I found the text choppy and the “solve” convenient. The ending epilogue was unexpected and a little weird for a mystery novel. Also, TW/spoiler in the comments which yes, I found it unnecessary and unforgivable and I‘ve been mad for more than half the book. 🤬

DGRachel The dog is shot and then pelted with stones. There are descriptions of him dragging himself across the pavement. Maigret does try to get him help, but he dies off page. 2d
DGRachel The story itself was ok (hence the so-so instead of pan) but based on what occurs in my spoiler tag, I would have DNFd if I hadn‘t gotten this from NetGalley. 2d

It's a balancing act, of course, but, by and large, the corpses will still be there in the morning, and you mustn't let it spoil your Domino's.“

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 3d
