“It was that point in the evening which the poetic might call crepuscular. To the four men, unloading dogs and other equipment from two battered pickups, it was the perfect moment between dark and light. Dark enough to obscure their presence, light enough to set up the course.” Excellent opening to Heather Peck‘s latest #policeprocedural, ‘Buried in the Past‘.
pickI enjoyed it. An older woman on YT considered it one of her favorite police procedurals, so I gave it a try. This husband and wife writing team wrote a number of these types of books. #SwedishAuthors, #Budapest. I really liked the setting. This may be the first book I‘ve ever read set in Budapest (well, most of it was set there).
Very excited for this one! Greece was my first European country that I visited and I spent some time on Mykonos (pictured below!) I bought this for myself ages ago after seeing it in a Greek travel group on Facebook, but I'm only getting to it from my TBR stack now. #BookTwoOf2025
pickI enjoy the In Death Series by J.D. Robb. Every time I read a new In Death book,I feel as though I am meeting up with old friends.
Passions In Death was different than the other ones. Usually, you have a lot of action in her books. This time, there was more detail in what the police do during an investigation. I still enjoyed it, though. Low pick
😊 Happy Reading 😊

“Mrs Napier walked slowly to the middle of the terrace, noted the oncoming car, looked round to make sure that she was fully observed, crossed her legs deliberately, and fell heavily on to the red gravel drive.”
Now that‘s a great opening sentence!! 😂

This Monday I‘m in 1980s New York City with Lieutenant Sigrid Harald of the NYPD. I‘ve only been to NYC once in the late ‘90s, but I know from books and other media that it was a little different then from now…grittier for sure. The reader gets a glimpse of this in this mystery series, but just a glimpse.
Had to use a different tagged title since “The Right Jack” isn‘t in the database.
It‘s the last #BookSpin day of 2024! Thank you, Sarah, for running this challenge—I look forward to it every month! My last two spins of the year are: a mystery from my Kindle TBR (I‘d love to use it for the #christmascrimechallenge if I can make it fit a prompt), and one from my library list that I‘ve been meaning to read forever (and it fits a year I need for #192025). Looking forward to squeezing these into my already-full December!
