Welcome to Litsy!

A soft pick for #roll100 - reminiscent of Good Omens, but I think the idea could have been more fleshed out and also could have done with a good edit. The plot surprised me though and I would read something else by this author

My second to last #ChristmasCrimeChallenge completed.

These Martin Beck police procedurals from 60s-70s Sweden are well deserved classics of crime fiction. In this one, a child rapist and murderer is terrorizing Stockholm and police resources, already stretched thin, are under extreme pressure to prevent the next brutal crime. It takes hard work (little forensics and limited technology) and sharp patrolmen and detectives to succeed.

Congrats everyone who finished all the words in December or any words because you got books off your TBRs! We have two members that have finished every word for the year!

2025 Theme: my favorite movies!

Now who is ready to figure out January‘s #WickedWords Movie?
-Animals
-Rage
-Survivors
-Hospital
-Bicycle

Feel free to guess, I will reveal at the end of the month!

Hubby finished book, I'll read before taking back to the library. You can never go wrong with a Michael Connelly book, especially Ballard and Bosch...both Boschs in this book.

This is a lighter mystery featuring Cat, who is a journalist with a small town paper. When a famous actor dies on stage during a performance, Cat (who was already doing a piece on him) investigates. The story has humour, parental angst, lots of small town doings and some #metoo drama. I enjoyed it and look forward to the next in the series. Thanks to NetGalley for digital advance reading copy. 3.75/5 stars.

This was a really good read with unexpected twist and turns really enjoyed reading this and look forward to other books by this author

Having read book 2 in this series, I decided I should read the first one! Although having pretty cover, being released in November and set in the week before Christmas 1952, this isn‘t a typical festive crime novel, but the narrator is amusing and tells a good tale, so I enjoyed it.

Life has been happening so I‘m a bit delayed on the #ChristmasCheer postings! Be prepared for a catch-up.

So, #Day8 is one from my extensive collection of seasonal crime novels
