Welcome to Litsy!

P. D. James is not an incredibly celebrated author for nothing. She has such skill. Beautiful descriptions, a couple of surprises... great set of stories.

I 😍 the premise of this book - a woman, on the day her life implodes (her husband leaves her for her best friend & takes the kids) finds purpose when she realised that she knows the man at the centre of a true crime podcast - & in a downwards spiral decides that she needs to find out what really happened. As the book progresses & we find out her past and how it connects to the events in the podcast... it all gets a bit soap opera-y.

This is just about getting a “ pick”. First half is great & promises to be thrilling , but the second half starts meandering & the thriller isn‘t as thrilling .... but I did finish & it was some “light” relief while reading a heavier book.

Lots of twists and turns in this story. I found it a bit predictable.

This was the one book I struggled to read in 2019. I loved Pretty Little Liars both the show and the books, but I just couldn't connect with this new story. I tried and I didn't finish it, but I'm not a fan.

I mean... we‘ve all read through conversations we should have been paying attention to... I used to read through the majority of my classes 🧐

🤔 interesting start to a book where the narrator admits to being a liar liar pants on fire *but* they are telling the truth now... 🤨

The second in a trilogy, it raised almost as many questions as it resolved from the first book, but in the most deliciously mysterious way! This author has me hooked! Counting down the days (8) until the third book is released!!!

So this was a weird read. I read the last half in a single sitting - Hooray! 🍰 🥳 But goodness, it just didn‘t grab me. And it should have! From Scotland to London to France, Belgium, Italy! Location scouting was brilliant!

But it‘s supposed to be a new age Who Done-It! Answered by chapter 7! So then it‘s a modern How Come? Chapter 20ish. Okaaayyyy, so what‘s the lemon squeezy, Twisty Sneezy!? Nicely done!

So ho hum! @MrBook #ReadWithMrBook

This book certainly garnered a lot of hype! But the main character‘s book obsession and love of true crime podcasts drew me in- and I could hardly tear myself away from listening! The performance is great, too-the accents are wonderful & the fast pace & twisting plot make this a fun read! This completes January‘s #ReadWithMrBook challenge- #OneWordTitle! Glad I revisited this author since I didn‘t care for her #debut! #AuldLangReads #AudioColoring
