TheKidUpstairs

Pickpick

A low pick. I listened to an audio version, and I think I would have preferred a physical book for this one. Or if Libby had the Jason Isaacs version. As it was the narration was a bit distracting, and I didn't enjoy it as much as Case Histories. But it was still a good read, an interesting web of deceit and murder, with the hallmarks of a good Atkinson - no clean endings with justice wrapped up in a bow, just the messy stuff of life. 👇

TheKidUpstairs I look forward to continuing the Jackson Brodie series throughout the year to catch up to @CarolynM's #AuldLangSpine pick 3w
TheKidUpstairs And, is it wrong that I freakin' loved Gloria? What a great character. 3w
CarolynM Oh, interesting you pick out Gloria. @Ruthiella and I love Louise. The next one is my favourite, I think. 3w

TheKidUpstairs @CarolynM I don't know what our was about her, maybe just her attitude of being over all of her husband's shit. I liked Louise, too - it kind of felt like she was just being introduced in this book, does she return? 3w
Ruthiella @TheKidUpstairs The occasional character will return from time to time, including my and @CarolynM favorite Louise. ❤️ I do know what you mean about Gloria, however. Her arc is quite satisfying. 3w
TheKidUpstairs @Ruthiella Very satisfying. While I suspected she had something to do with Graham being in hospital, I actually cheered a little when it was confirmed that she had hired the hit man. 3w

Happy New Year, dear Litsy friends. May the road ahead travel well for all of us.

I like this series, and I‘m happy to say I finished book # 2 two years after starting it. In one night. Books are like that though, eh? The mix of supernatural + police procedural + solid characters and writing really works. Definitely recommend. And yes, it‘s set at Christmas.

Seabreeze_Reader Happy New Year! 🎉 1mo

A very good installment in the Inspector Rebus series, in which Rebus investigates a school shooting that involves a family connection.

Zuhkeeyah Congrats on catching all the pokemon! 1mo
kwmg40 @Andrew65 @bookaholic1 I agree. I've been reading this series mostly in order so far, though I've had to skip a couple that weren't easily accessible to me, and I appreciate the development of Rebus's character and his relationships with those around him. 1mo
kwmg40 @Zuhkeeyah Thanks! I really enjoyed the Pokemon challenge this year and look forward to the 2025 challenge. @PuddleJumper 1mo

I love Rebus. This didn‘t disappoint. However I had a hard time keeping track of who was who. But it was okay, it all worked out in the end and I understood it all. Loved the ending. 😊. The last sentence.

Still trapped in 1869 Edinburgh, Mallory along with Dr. Gray and company investigate three mysterious deaths. The stakes are raised when Gray and Isla‘s older sister, Anis is under suspicion for poisoning her husband. Another satisfying 3+ ⭐️ read from Armstrong. I am enjoying the series and when I have finished one title I promptly download the next.
