Cuilin I also love how a lot of us have added in child detectives, me too!! 3mo

Amiable @Cuilin I loved Trixie so much I tried to get my family to start calling me Trixie when I was about 11. It didn‘t work. 😄 3mo

Amiable @Cuilin Also? The first couple of books in Louise Penny‘s Three Pines series are ok. Keep going. It‘s when she starts to create a narrative arc that runs through the series as a whole (independent of the individual mystery in each book) that it really takes off. IMO, anyway. 3mo

Cuilin @Amiable ok, thanks for that info. I‘ll push through. 3mo

dabbe I started with Penny's 3rd book, A FATAL GRACE (for the holidays). I just ordered 1 and 2, and my sister is going to give me the others. I love him and the world Penny has created. I've never heard of #1 (on the TBR), and OMG Trixie Belden! 🤩 Thanks for playing! ❤️💜🩷 3mo

A Drink Before the War | Dennis Lehane

#20Series20Days Day 16

My #Top20Series list wouldn‘t be complete without Lehane‘s Patrick Kenzie & Angela Gennaro series. It‘s only 6 books but wow is it a great read. Kenzie & Gennaro are private investigators from, as the blurbs say, “blue collar” Boston & the city makes for a fabulous backdrop. What really works is the relationship between the two friends & how it plays out as their detective work gets more dangerous.

I love dennis lehane and this book was sooo good. The action and the suspense! These private investigators do so much work and sacrifice but you can tell they love what they do. Lets just say it was good and i cant wait to read the second book.

This first entry in the Kenzie/Gennaro series was both more violent and morally complex than I expected and is a thriller rather thsn a mystery. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been wanting to read this for the longest time, so when it came up in BookBub for $1.99 I couldn't resist. And no, we're not going to talk about my teetering #tbrstack 😁

Kenzie and Gennaro: one of my favorite duos! I particularly love these books because they take place in Boston, and I love anything by Dennis Lehane #GONEBABYGONe
