Welcome to Litsy!

Finished this one today, and it was just a so-so for me. Not one of the better cozies I‘ve read. Although I will say that all the recipes had me drooling! 🤤

Counting this towards my #Black prompts for the #ScarathlonDailyPrompt too!

Apparently I read this four years ago according to Goodreads. I only remember the plot from the past (a long ago murder is part of the book), so I assumed I‘d read a similar plot in another book. I remember none of the many characters and nothing that happened in the present.

In this book, the only member of Cork‘s family not having some kind of crisis is Jenny. Ann is home from the convent early, and it‘s clear something is going on but she‘s not talking. Stephen — at 17 — is beginning to form his own spiritual beliefs. And Cork, while solving a disappearance and learning something about a murder from the past, is examining his views on violence. There‘s a lower body count than is usual for this series. #audiowalk

I only got about 8 hours total for #20in4 but I still made a lot of progress, especially for #scarathlon. I finished An Unfortunate Demise, listened a lot to Good Omens, started #teamslaughter #buddyread Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder and made progress on a few others.

My next audiobook to start fits today's prompt. I've seen good things about this one.

Brand is a master at keeping the reader guessing. Complex relationships and an abundance of theories means that no one character stands out as the culprit. A well thought out locked room mystery with a very surprising ending. Can also be found under the title “The Crooked Wreath”.

Starting this series next to find out who the #killer really is! #ScarathlonDailyPrompts #TeamSlaughter #Scarathlon

Read in the context and society in which it was written this is fab. It‘s my first Tey and I love her approach to crime. There‘s little mystery and no murder - it‘s about the impact of crime with time spent with a cast of great characters.
