First 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 -

Make a great evening everyone 😊

AmyG Ruth Rendell is a GEM. One of my most favorotes! 13mo

bthegood @jlhammar @AmyG thank you both - this was a #blameitonlitsy and just another reason I love Litsy - I get introduced to authors I would not have known 🙂 13mo

So 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!

Tamra Well, I must check it out! Lately I‘ve been adding to the TBR at a ridiculous rate. 🙃 1y
LeahBergen I love Ruth Rendell. You must try her Barbara Vine (another name she wrote under) novels, too! 1y
Cathythoughts Oh great ! I‘m so glad you enjoyed it. She‘s a reliable one 👍🏻😁 1y

Ephemera I love her work. Try Adam and Eve and Pinch Me, it‘s really good 14mo
jlhammar @Ephemera Thanks so much for the rec! She has so many books, it's great to have some ideas of which to try next. 14mo
Ephemera She also wrote under the name Barbara Vine. The one I recall most in that series is No Night is Too Long 14mo
jlhammar @Ephemera Thank you! Adding that one to the list as well. 14mo

“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.

Andrew65 Looks very interesting. Stacked. 1y

Michael 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.

LitStephanie That does sound really interesting! 1y
Reggie I really liked this book. I read it in my late teens. It is also the first time I really wanted to punch the author because of the last 2 pages. 1y

I wasn‘t quite sure what to expect based on what I had read about this book, and it definitely took some time to get into. However, over time it developed into a story that pulled me in and made me think. I ended up really enjoying it.
