Welcome to Litsy!

This is a very enjoyable series of crime novels set in the North East in the mid 1990s, thus one 1997 on the eve of the election. There are 3 main characters, a police detective and 2 journalists who combine to resolve cases where investigations stall. Here young women are going missing echoing a similar event 20 years before. It's definitely a page turner with a great sense of place and time. Is 1997 really so long ago !!!

This is the fourth book in the Ian Bradshaw series, but I read this as a stand-alone.

I read this exclusively, meaning, I did not start another book while reading this.

The fact that I did not find it too disturbing and bone chilling and not a true page-turner is certainly because I have read far too much in that genre and am not easily spooked. Still, a solid pick - but you might want to read the whole series.

First morning in nearly two weeks that I can spend reading. Yeah!

We moved my old reading chair out of my son's room, now we can all enjoy it. Or quarrel about who gets to use it. 😉

Tagged book is the oldest ARC on my kindle. 🙈 Has long been published.

After a busy morning it‘s time to relax on a beautiful Sunday, read and have a Star Wars day! 🤓📚

Up early watching Scrubs and getting back into the Chosen Ones. Pretty good so far! I‘m waiting for the dense fog to lift to be able to go run this morning. 🏃‍♀️ Happy Friday!!!

Relaxing after a 3 mile run, class, and a filling lunch! Happy Labor Day, Littens! 💙❤️💙❤️

Totally forgot that Howard Linskey‘s new book in the Ian Bradshaw series has been out for a while. On our way to tailgate for the first college Game Day Saturday! I love football! 🤗💙💛💙💛

If you need to find me?? I‘ll be in the bath with my new book 📖 #loveanewbook #nextread - sure this is book 30 of the year too. 🤔🤔🤔

Eva wakes in a large metal box. She has no idea who has taken her. She has no way out...

She isn't the first young woman to disappear. Detective Ian Bradshaw, head of the search, has no leads - and little time.

When at last a body is found, the police hope the discovery might at least provide a clue that will help them find the kidnapper.

But then they identify the body - and realize the case is more twisted than they ever imagined...
