so-soThis might be an unpopular opinion but I wished there was less court stuff and more relationship content. I got a little bored.

pickThis was even darker than I anticipated. It‘s been on my shelf for ages.
It‘s about a 15 year old boy who falls in love with an older (30s?) woman. They have an affair that lasts about a year, then she disappears.
The next time he sees her he is in law school, and attends a trial for SS officers (this takes place in Germany) and she is one of the women on trial.
It‘s strangely both emotional and detached, I think because he doesn‘t have ⬇️
pickFirst line: “Eunice Parchman killed the Coverdale family because she could not read or write.” And it only gets better from there - really well written, good story. New author to me - have added another one of her books on my #BookSpinBingo for April -

pickSo good! I was hooked from the very first sentence and loved Rendell‘s writing. Will definitely be trying more of her work.
Thanks to @Cathythoughts for putting this stellar crime novel on my radar!
“Eunice Parchman killed the Coverdale family because she could not read or write.”
What provoked a modern-day St. Valentine‘s Day massacre? I can‘t wait to find out!

The Moonlight School shines a light on adult literacy. It's based on the true story of Cora Wilson Stewart set in the hills of Kentucky in 1911. Highly recommended.
pickMichael visits Hanna after she helped him get home when he was ill, and so begins an affair. While the age difference is an issue, I don‘t think any part of the relationship is super healthy. Then one day Hanna leaves. Years later Michael meets her in court, she is on trial for crimes during the holocaust.
It was a thought provoking read.
