pickWell that was not the ending I expected. It was probably the only way it could end, but I was hoping for something else. I can‘t say that I really liked any of the characters, but it made for a much more interesting story. An island , an artist, her muse(?), an art curator, a wealthy family, murder, the truth masterfully unraveled. This is a subtly chilling novel. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My husband gave me an early Christmas present !!!! He knows me so well! 🤩🥰🎄
pickI really enjoyed this book so I‘m a little confused by the lower Goodreads rating for it. This is for mystery thriller book club at the beginning of January; it should make for an interesting discussion. Some of the revelations were predictable but some weren‘t and it was an easier read. Definitely an interesting premise! If you read the book synopsis & thought it sounded good, I‘d recommend you read it. You‘ll probably like it!
pickGreat story. Vivid descriptions of location: New York, DC, and Boston. The intertwining of other story lines in other books was brilliantly executed.
Husband gifted me a Kindle Paperwhite for the holidays!
Sigma Force book four is a go!
Now that I can read in the dark, it's a problem. I stayed up until 3am reading!
“But Hester, I‘m years older than you are. You can‘t really—“
“That is—if you want me,” said Hester with sudden doubt.
“Oh, I want you!” said Arthur Calgary.

pickThis library hold came in, + I started the book, as the current events in Syria hit the headlines. A very good spy thriller set in the country 10 years ago as revolution threatens the Assad regime who are experimenting with poison gas. A cia operative runs a mole + falls for her as she spys on the regime. The hunt for the mole, discovery of the hidden weapons is well done. The news + revelation of horror, however, made it an uncomfortable read
Anyone on Storygraph or Fable? I'm switching from GoodReads in 2025 so thought I'd see if any of my litsy friends are on there! Bonus photo of Pickles on his new favorite tree skirt lol
