The Book with No Name
The Book with No Name | Anonymous
10 posts | 18 read | 9 to read
Detective Miles Jensen is called to the lawless town of Santa Mondega to investigate a spate of murders. This would all be quite ordinary in those rough streets, except that Jensen is the Chief Detective of Supernatural Investigations.The breakneck plot centres around a mysterious blue stone - 'The Eye of the Moon' - and the men (and women) who all want to get their hands on it: a mass murderer with a drink problem, a hit man who thinks he's Elvis, and a pair of monks among them. Add in the local crime baron, an amnesiac woman who's just emerged from a five-year coma, a gypsy fortune-teller and a hapless hotel porter, and the plot thickens fast. Most importantly, how do all these people come to be linked to the strange book with no name? The anonymous, ancient book that no one seems to have survived reading? The Book With No Name is a fast-paced, cinematic page-turner shot through with black humour, which will hold you rapt from its intriguing opening to the dramatic climax. There's only one way to find out what happens when you read the book with no name...

#roll100 first book done. This was ultra violent and lots of twists and turns. It was ok but not amazing, a fair bit of exposition, and also some rampant sexism 🙄

To reward myself last night after my virtual desk of “papers” was all “graded”, my email inbox was cleared, my courses were all prepped & distributed for the next two weeks, my book edits were back to the editor, my house was cleanish, food was in the kitchen, & the checking account was reconciled, I picked up Sarina Bowen‘s latest. #romantsy #teachersofLitsy

So instead of the intricately plotted book, I read a grim dark romance novella. It was surprisingly good, though not free. I‘m giving up my #Kindle Unlimited #KU both because there is so much crap, but also personal financial reasons. #romantsy #grimdark #novella

Tonton Love the photo 6y
Ostaff1 It‘s the book cover 6y
EloisaJames I‘m coming to the sane conclusion about KU. I can buy Mariana Zappata‘s and Charlotte Stein‘s books. 6y
Ostaff1 I 💛 Mariana Zapata!! And your books, of course! 😂 I‘ll have to look up Charlotte Stein! 6y

I can‘t find these books on here at all, they‘ve only just been released. Two more books from #ThePigeonhole social reading platform. They seem to be very good at choosing good books! The Pumilio Child set in the Renaissance, slavery involved, and Love Bites is a collection of short stories about immigrants, misfits and the lonely. Both really good reads!

It's a good read. Kind of detective-ish because its more about who is who and like that. Include killing scene and scarry description how the body looks like. If you don't like thriller, i won't recommended it to you, but if you love sherlock-ish thing you probably like it. Much point of view not that confusing and i think that's the plus in it specially in lots of scene

There were things I really liked - the overall story was pretty good - but the writing was a bit of a let down and the characters were pretty one dimensional. Entertaining but not mind-blowing.
