pickI love this series and this one was really good! REICHS even had someone binging all the seasons of “Bones”. I love little nods like that.
As the title suggests, these victims have been burned. I enjoyed this one on audio.

pickRich men are fished out of River Thames - all of them drowned in weird circumstances and their inheritances go to the same charity… 🧐🧐🧐 Definitely a case for Inspector Holt. I love those old crime mysteries.
This is the radio drama version of the German parody of The Ringer by Edgar Wallace. The movie made gun of the weird villains Wallace used and was quite funny. For the radio drama they even the sounds of the movie and gave it a voiceover of the main character. I liked it.
pickLatest Karen Pirie was good fun. Set in lockdown a librarian at the national archives links a crime writers manuscript to the disappearance of a young woman. With lots of nods and winks to the Scottish crime writing community, I think val macdermid enjoyed making the villains fellow crime writers. I enjoy the characters in the series, + it also still feels strange remembering lockdown. Hopefully, a new one soon + maybe a further TV adaptation
pickThe latest in the series finds Tempe in DC, asked to assist with the aftermath of a fire. It‘s a good addition to the series, with a fun wink at Bones. I didn‘t love the audio, though, which I thought was read a bit dry. I will warn potential readers that there is a brief but very frank description of what happens to human bodies in fire, which might be too much for some right now.
Lynn, Thanks so much for your generosity! The tagged book is my wishlist book, I‘m The lost man of Bombay by Vaseen Khan. #49bdaygiveaway
panI read this after Dirty little secrets and had no high expectations. Just wanted a clever thriller to occupy me on a flight however I was disappointed with this one. Unlike Dirty little secrets I didn‘t find any of the characters believable and the plot was very clumsy. Not sure if I‘ll read anymore of her books.
pickWell written. Fast paced. Not too cliched. Overall not too bad. Just the ticket for a beach or plane read. Liz Nugents Lying in wait is a similar theme and I would highly recommend that.
