pick#historicalfiction The crimes that take place in this novel are truly horrific resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives. The story is well written and the majority of the investigation is quite gripping. While the book travels along at a reasonable pace and in parts is very exciting there are interludes particularly where family is concerned that the narrative just drags. It is a very good read but I would have preferred a condensed version.
What an amazing coincidence: A parcel of books that was scanned at my local postal sorting office two days ago has not been delivered. I am going to the sorting office tomorrow morning to ask them to search for it. Frustrated I decided to read a bit more of my book which is set in London and yet The Prince of Wales in Abercarn jumped off of the page at me. The sorting office I'm going to tomorrow is on the Prince of Wales estate, Abercarn. S.Wales
Another in this series I am so hooked on. I need to slow down…this is # 22/28.

pickIn rural Australia, 2 women have gone missing. The body of the first has been found and the second is sought, along with the suspected killer, horrifying this small community. We mainly follow the lead investigator here, but the cast of characters is (too) broad. There‘s a great red herring, but the vast cast sometimes made this confusing. A low pick for me.
Not on Litsy yet, but on NetGalley. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼😱😱😱😱
