Welcome to Litsy!

A fairly standard police procedural but set in 2051: near future yet not disappearing into dystopia. Very readable, the near future element entirely realistic and scary, the “figuring out the crime/scare vibes” just what I wanted.

This chilling tale of murder,betrayal,redemption & reconciliation is set in the hazardous Scottish Highlands in 2051.Climate change has turned this world into one of snow and ice.A young meteorologist on her rounds,discovers a body encased in a snow tunnel.DI Cameron Brody of Glasgow,who has his own reasons for investigating,carries ghosts & secrets from his past with him. What a shocking,explosive end. #climatechange #bloodandfoundfamilies

Right now all I want to read are stories with all the gothic tropes and I happened to unearth this from a pile from some long-ago used bookstore haul. The setting is the Hudson River, with a cloistered women's college, a mental institution, and the ruins of an abandoned estate. Involves lots of art, Greek mythology, old family secrets, a murder mystery.

I absolutely loved this book. For a Jane Austen fan it was so satisfying. I loved that it sprinkled in character traits, names of future books, and plots into it. I adored Uncle Bertram and Richard Mansfield so very much. It‘s was exciting, fast moving and a perfect choice for any book lover. I also learned so much about the book collecting world. It‘s a great mystery and a heartfelt book. I‘d say more but it‘s too easy to reveal a spoiler.

Up next.

My first choice for this was The Flatshare but quite a few other people chose it so I went with this one. I love almost anything that's Austen related. 😁

Finished the first in series by Emily Organ, Limelight, today(read 50% to end). Starting 2nd in series, The Rookery. Plan to read sections of the other books, and leaving myself open to something that may strike my mood.??
