OutsmartYourShelf
post image
Pickpick

The fifth outing for the team of Detective Sergeant Washington Poe & civilian analyst, Tilly Bradshaw sees them tackle two puzzling cases. A poisoner is running amok, seemingly able to get to his victims even if they are under police protection, & for his fourth victim he uses the might of social media to get the public to vote on who he kills next. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Meanwhile pathologist Estelle Doyle has been arrested for killing her father. She says she's innocent but there's physical evidence including firearms discharge residue on her hands, & hers are the only footprints in the snow going in. The house has been thoroughly searched & no weapon has been found.

Intriguing cases for Poe & Bradshaw & they were well plotted. For me though, there was too much Doyle & not enough Bradshaw.

Winter Holiday | Arthur Ransome

When I first read the Swallows and Amazons books in 2019/2020, I knew I would want to reread them over and over. I've been working my way through them slowly and enjoying them every bit as much - or even more - as I did the first time. Winter Holiday is adorable, with plenty of wintry adventures to go around. I personally had an idyllic childhood, but I still think I would trade to be a Swallow or Amazon! 😂

Singout I served tea to my housemate‘s English dad in my Swallows and Amazons mug yesterday! I only read one book when I was a child, but the mug was a gift from an English friend. 4mo

Strictly speaking, this is about fellwalking rather than #Hiking, but they‘re two sides of the same coin!

The story is very visually appealing. The father is a fisherman and owns his own boat. He is excited for his child to see their first fish. This is a good family story for all ages.

Wolf Border | Sarah Hall

She's a good writer, a long book but didn't feel so.
Rachel is tasked with wolf reintroduction and thus follows the tale, the relationships she encounters and her own journey in all of this. I like how it all works together, her career path kind of exists with the borders of her family life and the friends she makes within this world. Lots of metaphorical links here, really made me appreciate her thoroughness.
