6-24-25: My 42nd finished book of 2024! Happy couple Luke and Cam seem to live an ideal life. Until one day, Luke does something unthinkable and Cam gets pulled into the drama. Cut to 7 years later and Cam is trying to out the pieces back together. Great story. Definitely a good twist. Likable flawed characters. Publishing world and love of reading by Cam a plus. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣4️⃣2️⃣

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It‘s been a minute since I‘ve read a Department Q novel!

These books don‘t disappoint! Great characters along with very intricate storylines that weave and tie end nicely throughout. This one explores the oldies in Denmark when the right wing nationalists wanted to keep Denmark “Danish” and explored the lengths some crazies will go to keep in that way.

The relationships between Carl, Assad and rose gold deeper.

I liked the first book in the series but I *really* liked this one. The plotting is tighter, the writing very clever, and the characters so endearing, I was much less bothered by moral ambiguity.

(Can you guess why I chose this image to illustrate my blurb?)

Ruthiella It‘s been too long since I read it, so I can‘t guess as to why you chose that drawing . 😅 But I definitely agree these books get stronger with time. Is it better familiarity with the characters or Osman refining his talents or a combination of both? 👍 2d

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Intricate plot, a plethora of characters, side plots, personal lives, all connecting. I couldn‘t guess a damn thang that happened in this novel 😅 what a masterful storyteller. Dense book and the longest in the series so far and it flew by. Really hope Robin catches a break in the next one tho lol

We‘re a week away from our next #ChristiesCapers discussion! I‘ve seen some good reviews posted so far; this one does get mixed reviews by Christie lovers. I like this one and plan to reread it this week to have it fresh in my mind for next Sunday.

Discussion questions will be posted by 12pm US East Coast time on the 29th! #AgathaChristieClubR3

What a gut punch of an ending-my mind is still reeling- all cliches but I truly am speechless, taken totally by surprise!

Past Lying | Val McDermid

Val is always a solid 4 star read for me.
I love her characters, their relationships and the very realistic growth they show.

Karen and her cold cases are quickly becoming my most favourite. The way Val structure these stories makes it page turners even knowing there's no life to save at the end.

This installment had a very intriguing plot and is set during COVID, so every normal thing had to be done slightly differently.
