Welcome to Litsy!

“The plot thickens,” he said, and wished he hadn‘t said that because it sounded like something from a bad detective novel. “I think we have a suspect.” That didn‘t sound much better. “My house has just exploded, by the way.” At least that was novel.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I can‘t let these detectives go unmentioned

Jackson Brodie
Inspector Montalbano
Dalziel and Pascoe

I loved this! Now I need to read the rest of the series! Great on #audio #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

It's an on the couch with a favorite writer sort of Sunday 🙂

This book is quite complicated and there were times when I had a hard time trying to remember some of the characters, but the plot was pretty easy to keep track of. I found myself laughing at some of the ridiculous and inevitable coincidences, but there are some very gory and grim scenes that were definitely not funny. The ending is weird, but I think everything turns out OK-ish. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Here are some series that have been on my tbr for a while - looking forward to #serieslove2023 to try them next year!

There are also a bunch of series where I‘ve read all but one or two books that would be good to finish up… we‘ll see how far I get 📚

I didn‘t know what to expect with this book, but it wasn‘t this. It seemed kind of chaotic and there were times when I wasn‘t sure what was going on. No one seemed to be in control of anything that was happening, except possibly Ray and Tatiana, but they were on the fringe. Eventually, we learn everything about everyone, but it doesn‘t really help. It was a bit disappointing. I do like Jackson Brodie, so, onward the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a murder mystery set in 1920s Montana, quite an unusual setting. And l really appreciate this.
It was a mix of 1920s coming of age story and a kind of Western vibe, because, really, things were still like in the previous century in some places.

It's really different from the usual 1920s cosy mystery 😊

(Couldn't find the book in the database, it've very new).

My weekend reading was taken up by the joy of the last Jackson brodie story. Kate atkinson weaves great crime stories with lots of characters bot old + new while Jackson appears be drawn reluctantly into the plot. Here the North Yorkshire coast is the background to sex trafficking . The seaside atmosphere is captured well. More please kate.Hope to get 2 more books read before the readathon ends.
