Welcome to Litsy!

I 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.

This should have been a fast and easy read. But then the Olympics happened, I worked for 7 days straight and I fell into a hole named fan-fiction. So this took me way longer than it should have. Felt like the storyline was a bit blunt. Soft pick.

You can't go wrong with a Jo Spain novel. However I have discovered a book ick. I don't like reading 'Look Luke' or any combination of those words 🫤 it seemed to be used a lot.

Next kindle read . . . Getting round to this one after I thought I'd started it but had actually started something else!

Finally finished! These long mysteries in German are great language practice for me, but I don‘t read them quickly and often have a German-English dictionary app open when I am stumped. Even so, it was very satisfying to finish the 6th book in this mystery series. Ann Kathrin Klaasen is an engaging protagonist because of her grit tempered with humor.

Next up . . . She is becoming a firm favourite

I have decided to start reading books in Norwegian and Danish to keep my brain alert. It‘s quite easy for native Swedish speakers. Good book, set in a fascinating environment.

This was a lucky dip and way better than I expected. The characters were a little loopy

Don‘t actually know if I liked this or not.

Jo Spain is so reliable for a twisty domestic mystery. The one was a bit more fast paced than some of her others and had more changes in direction. I didn‘t really connect with any of the characters but nevertheless it was a propulsive narrative. Entertaining, easy reading.
