pickI always like it when local mysteries, superstition or folklore is to commit a murder. Then you get to know interestig facts about the local history and the imspector has to disprove all the theories. That‘s why I liked the story of The Green Archer.
Back to reading a murder mystery - now the third Edgar Wallace. Fortunately, some of the old German movies on replay on TV right now. So I can scrutinize both. 😂
pickThis is a clever and fun crime novel. Inés discovers her husband has an affair and wants to save her marriage at any cost. And the costs are high! Many twists and a bit of irony make this a great fast paced read by Claudia Piñeiro, who has become a favorite author.
I just don‘t know what to think of the other storyline, the one about her daughter.
Thanks for putting this on my radar Sue ?

I am very glad to be in Buenos Aires again, in the midst of another great Claudia Piñeiro book!

I am reading Verona for #EuropaCollective but have a hard time finishing it, so boring and childish.
Next will be the tagged, I am excited to have learned that Piñeiro has an extensive backlist - thanks to @Suet624
The Laughter was a gift from Cindy and I have heard good things about it!
so-soThe English title is somehow misleading, there are no Indian men in this book - at least in the German translation. The German title matches the content way better. It is a murder mystery combined with some robberies. But it was somewhat chaotic. It still portrays the foogy London atmosphere well.
Switching between kids books and murder mysteries - now the second Edgar Wallace. 💪💪💪
pickThe author of Elena Knows has written another captivating story. Written prior to Elena, Pineiro tells the story of Ines who believes her husband is having an affair. This story takes many twists as she witnesses a death, tries to rekindle the relationship, is betrayed again, & seeks revenge. There is humor that weaves in and out which adds to the story. It‘s a quick read and holds your attention.
pickStill one of my favorite series. Inspector Dupin does not disappoint and the French Brittany who is the other protagonist of the series together with the food is still on my bucket list to visit because of this series
pickI really love the German Edgar Wallace black and white movies of the 60/70ies, I always wanted to read the murder mysteries as well. The first one „The Ringer“ was completely different to the murder mysteries I know from Agatha Christie for example. In the beginning it seemed a bit chaotic, but made sense in the end. The mood is definitely darker.
