pickI read this with my local reading group and the theme was ‘winter‘. This is the ninth in the Vera Stanhope series but the first one which I‘ve read. It works very well as a stand alone. It‘s a slow burning detective story with plenty of twists and turns. It fitted the ‘winter‘ theme well and I very much enjoyed it. I did sort of guess ‘whodunnit‘ even though I had a change of mind at first!

First #WeeklyFavorites graphic of 2025 complete.
pick3rd book in the Dawson series.
Interesting plot.
What I like in this series, is that yes, it's a murder mystery, but also that it is set in Ghana, so it's a change of scenery and culture.
pickThis one was very good. I think these are getting better as the series goes. Thanks to my co-host #InDeathLongReadathon @StayCurious #Jumpstart2025 #SeriesLove25 #Read2025 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView #ISpyBingoJan @TheAromaofBooks @DieAReader @Lizpixie
pick#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Sorry for the late post - I missed my cue (haha - get it, because theatre?) Ch.16-end / review — as usual we were led down some dark passages in this one, and it hit close to home for Eve. The victim in this case was deplorable- and Eve ended up feeling for the killer. I thought the twist and reveal was pulled off nicely - Dame Christie would have been proud. ⬇️
pickI think this was the best in the series yet—aspects of Agatha Christie-esque mysteries are thrown into this one. Eve, Roarke, and thousands in the audience witness a murder on stage. But, it‘s not as clear cut as it seems. Eve also continues to battle her last, and elements of the investigation do not help. I love to see the characters developing! #InDeathLongReadalong

Still not feeling well 😮💨🤧🤕 so it will probably be staying home reading and watching football this weekend. 📚🏈
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).
I‘m reading this with my local book group. I haven‘t read the previous books and usually prefer to start a series at the beginning, but needs must!
