The third case for criminologist Lincoln Rhyme & partner Amelia Sachs sees them heading to North Carolina for Rhyme's upcoming pioneering surgery. Before the surgery takes place, the two are asked to consult on a case where two young women have been abducted by a 16-year-old local boy, Garrett Hanlon, known as the Insect Boy for his fascination with bugs. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf After a manhunt when the boy is apprehended, one of the women is still missing & Garrett refuses to give up her whereabouts saying he is protecting her. Sachs believes that the locals think the worst of Garrett & that his life could be in danger so she absconds with him from the county jail. Now the student is working against the master, has she learned enough to outfox him?

OutsmartYourShelf This one is firmly in the middle of the first two books when it comes to ratings - in my opinion the first book is better but the second book is worse than this one. There were some good twists & turns in the storyline but it did seem to be drawn out a bit too long. 100 pages shorter & it would have been great. 3.25⭐

Hello reading friends. I hope you all had fun reading this month‘s #EBBR book. I missed the solutions for three of the cases! 😅 My powers of deduction seem to be getting worse!

I must say, winning a pie a day for a month in The Case of the Blueberry Pies sounded delicious! 🥧😋

Sace I think I missed solutions to two of them. I missed the penguin one. I‘m a little embarrassed by that 😂. 12h
TheAromaofBooks I was so confused about who really thought it was a good idea to stuff kids full of pie and then make them run as fast as they can 😂 12h
Ruthiella @Sace The penguin one is not only the one I remember from childhood, I think it‘s how I learned that difference between the North and South Poles! 😅 10h
Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks Yes, running a race after scarfing down an entire pie seems like a bad idea. 😅 But the reward I can get behind! 10h

This was a super cute, quick and fun read.
My only complaint is the overuse of eye rolling 🙄 mentioned every other paragraph for a bit. It was noticeable enough it actually took me out of the story.
I wish more of the old gang were in it, but it would have gotten too crowded; and the new characters were great.
I recommend this, especially if you liked the first one. #bookcover #grannysquare #readingblanket2025 #bookblanket

Caterina I'm so intrigued by your granny square reading blanket, but it sounds dangerously tempting - I'd need quite the array of yarn to try it out, and I already have too much! 🫣 I hope you post a finished pic at the end of the year! 19h

“That‘s quite the life of leisure that you are leading. Tell me, do you have any injuries or ailments? Just looking at you, you seem to be in good health.”
“No, nothing particularly wrong with me at all. Of course, my spirit is completely burned out.”

📚
I liked the idea more than I enjoyed the book itself. Set in post WWII Japan, originally published in 1948. Easy read, odd characters, something seems lost in translation, & ending ran too long.

Another stunner in this series. Morally complex, expertly plotted, riveting – a tale of elusive evil.

TheSpineView Fantastic! 🤩📖📚 1d
