pickHoly Hell! I picked this book up from the library thinking it was your typical Cozy Mystery, and man, was I wrong! Completely unsettling in such a creepy, good way. I will definitely be checking out anything else Slater has written! #JustOneMoreChapter
Just got home from my annual physical and my numbers weren't bad considering all the majorly stressful life changes I've been through in the past few months. I treated myself to a pumpkin pie latte and a caramel apple scone afterward. Now I'm going to settle in for some much needed reading time for #JustOneMoreChapter readathon. This book is unsettling BTW! Not the typical Cozy Mystery at all.

so-soThis might be one of the best known true crime books. A John Cusack movie was even made of it (I have heard it is not good so I am passing on it). I found the book itself to be a bit scattered. Lots of characters (in every sense of the word) most not really having anything to do with the story beyond giving the book a particular vibe. Savannah itself comes off as a very well drawn character, and for that I think the author did a good job. 👇
pickThis was a fun, quick read. I kind of had the murderer figured out, but I still enjoyed the ride. The end was WAY too abrupt though. It was like ‘build up, build up, BUILD UP CLIMAX over. Aso here‘s the murderer.‘ Kind of anti-climatic.
“I felt perfectly safe in my rolling metal fortress, rusted and dented as it was. Nothing and no one could get to me, and nothing and no one did—with one very notable exception. Her name was Chablis.”
Have to admit, the one thing I didn't expect in a Southern Murder book was a side character who is Trans and the author respecting them. Learning today about beloved Lady Chablis a Trans performer in Savannah who died in 2016 of pneumonia at age 59.
Book mail. Looking forward to both of these very different books. #botm #amazonsale
