My next two reads! First up is a re-read, In Cold Blood. Breakfast At Tiffany's is one of my top 5 favourite books, but I have no recollection of In Cold Blood. Looking forward to diving in. #BookEighteenOf2025

pick5 Stars • Crippen by John Boyne is a historical novel based on the 1910 murder case of Dr. Hawley Crippen. In London, Cora Crippen‘s dismembered body is found in their home‘s cellar, prompting Chief Inspector Walter Dew to pursue Crippen and his mistress, Ethel Le Neve, who flee to Canada disguised as father and son aboard the SS Montrose. ⬇️
pickI started out thinking I wasn‘t going to like this one. Some serious triggers: child murder, extreme violence, mental illness, suicide, sexual assault. But once you get into it; it‘s impossible to put down. Twists throughout and while I saw some coming the ones I didn‘t really delivered. An interesting look at moral ambiguity. Could use a better title, otherwise a wild read. My #doublespin for June
Amanda White lifted the lid from the electric baby bottle sterilizer and stared inside at the .22-caliber revolver. #firstlinefridays
pick5 Stars • The Widow's Husband's Secret Lie by Freida McFadden is a satirical/hilarious novella blending dark humor and psychological thriller tropes.

Harry was defensive about some of the methods he had used to get his stories. At one point, he turned on the reader, who he imagined censuring him for how he had obtained the Christie exclusive: 'Sit down there, you, that man in the back row, he admonished. 'I'll have no hypocritical comment! How many murderers' stories have you read, sir, in the Sunday papers? If you've never read one, then I'll listen to you. If you have read one, then shut up!

pickI found this for $8 at Indigo years ago and had zero expectations. The cover was eerie and drew me in. Maltman paints an emotional image of small town rural life, struck by tragedy. A father trying to understand his son‘s actions. A pastor‘s wife trying to find her place. A town guided by traditions and keeping secrets. Mixing in folklore and Norse Mythology, Maltman creates a tense story interwoven with mystery and beauty.
