Rapture in Death | Nora Roberts, J. D. Robb

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 The fourth book in the Eve Dallas series is the most enjoyable I‘ve read so far. The technology to exert control over the minds of others? Terrifying. And completely believable that it will be attempted by someone or someones.

The Dry | Jane Harper

This was highly recommended by a friend.

I immediately downloaded the second book, so it's safe to say I enjoyed it 😄

A family is murdered in his hometown, and detective Falk weeds through old memories and new clues in order to solve the mystery.

The drought plagued setting is just as much a character as any of the people.

The kind of book I set N alarm to get up early to finish. Twisty and turny FBI murder mystery with a forensic linguist as the main character. It was this detail and the power of words that made this a cut above. Really enjoyed !

The Killers of the Flower Moon | David Grann

I am starting this true story without seeing the film yet. I liked the author‘s Lost City of Z.

kspenmoll A great great book.💚 17h

KCofKaysville @kspenmoll Good to hear! 16h

5feet.of.fury I‘m listening to the audio of this one, I‘ve been enjoying it so far, but I distracted myself at first by trying to picture who was playing who in the movie and then that person would get murdered.. Guess that wasn‘t DeNiro then 😅 8h

The Hanging Tree | Ben Aaronovitch

pick

Marvelous. Peter continues to have a hazardous but fascinating time encountering the fantastical and magical in London whilst solving murder mysteries, attempting to apply science and police procedure to the absurd, and introducing the reader to snippets of London's history and architecture. The overarching plot that has continued through the series has some appreciable momentum in this entry as well. 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 A good balance of wry asides and moments with Nightingale and other recurring characters. I love this world, I love how Aaronovitch writes, I'm happy to continue in this series. Also happy to find that the library not having the audiobook for this book was a blip, and having put a hold on the next in the series, I can look forward to being regaled with the future adventures of Peter Grant in the mellifluous tones of Kobna Holdbrook-Smith once again. 🥰 19h

julesG Kobna Holdbrook-Smith's narration is chef's kiss. Even when I actually read one of the novels I have his voice in my head. 13h

Robotswithpersonality @julesG Exactly! Especially when Peter's lamenting to himself his latest fantastical or procedural inconvenience! 😂 8h

A Helping Hand | Celia Dale

Why yes this edition IS before my time. ☺️ Makes me feel young! I guess I‘m lucky my library system still has a copy to circulate.

By the way, I have 5 library books checked out and it makes me anxious, which is completely irrational. It reminds me though why I shouldn‘t order any while I have one checked out. It‘s also why I prefer to buy so I can hoard them on my shelf. 😜

LeahBergen This is a fun one! 22h

Tamra @LeahBergen it sounds like classic mystery fun - inspired by @Cathythoughts. 21h

Ruthiella I understand your anxiety. It‘s a balancing act! Owned vs library… 19h
