Would that be a Charley Davidson reference I spy 🤔

I love when authors include little easter eggs of their other other works.

#BookSpin - Past Lying (Val McDermid)
#DoubleSpin - Master of Revels (Nicole Galland)

@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Enjoy!! I found Master of the Revels to be a somewhat aggravating read, so I'm interested to hear your thoughts 😂 3d

Catching up in the Karen Pirie series, which I really enjoy. This one finds Karen and her team trying to investigate a case during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns. It has a book with a book element too. You can‘t ever tell how everything is going to come together in the end, which works for me in a crime novel.

Another creative,wildly imaginative,plot.What struck me with this # 14 in the series was the author‘s in-depth character development of a possible suspect,the deeply troubled Mark Siddons.The descriptions of his inner psyche,emotional,& social background present possible motivations for his behaviors & in effect,created my sympathy for him. Centered around suspicious fires that resulted in murders, & art forgery,making a compelling read.

I may take a break from this series only because I do not want to finish these books too fast. But i just had to see Banks through this one book after the previous tumultuous Aftermath‘s journey into the bowels of evil.

kspenmoll ⬆️ Complicated plot creating a multitude of obstacles for Banks‘ & his team. Allusions to literature & music are sprinkled throughout both books. I have added some to my music library! #serieslove2025 #literarypoliceprocedural 4w
