Burial of Ghosts | Ann Cleeves
Pickpick

In comparison to The Sleeping and the Dead, the other Ann Cleeves stand-alone I read, I liked Burial of Ghosts better; the first-person narration made it more vivid, and I liked that the central character was a woman. The plot may be far-fetched, but it was a far-fetched I could roll with. Found the flashbacks hard to read, so I ended up skimming them.

Stay away from this evil cult called Kindle monthly deals. Great Kindle books dirt cheap! I just bought one for 92% off, and it‘s a book I need to read for my read the world challenge. Now I‘m browsing books I shouldn‘t buy, but... The tagged one is Q8.99. @Andrew65 There‘s Elly Griffiths, Peter May/James/Robinson, Follett, Slaughter, E. Rutherford etc.

Tove_Reads @andrew65 “recommended for you” is filled with books I blame you for and they are all less than a pound. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads 😂 I accept the blame. #BlameItOnAndrew65 Guilty as charged. (edited) 5y
Tove_Reads @andrew65 Based on the covers I love all of them. You know the Frieda/Ben/Sean/Kim covers... a person running/standing staring in the distance/walking with his/her back towards the reader, and it‘s dark/rainy/heavy weather. (edited) 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Usually love all books with that cover. Covers definitely encourage me to buy books, even unknown authors. Very cover driven, I don‘t like reading blurbs as can spoil the book. 5y
Andrew65 Easy to spend a lot of money on amazon and audible deals, even when each book is cheap. @Tove_Reads @Cathythoughts (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Mike Brearley, one of the great Captains and a superb man manager. Think he‘s made a career as a psychologist. 5y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Just checked, it was a psychoanalyst. 5y
EadieB @tove_reads @Andrew65
I've read the tagged book:
This is an early standalone novel by Ann Cleeves. It's not as good as her Shetland Island or Vera Stanhope series but still a very good mystery. The plot is unique and one that holds your interest until the very end. The characters are interesting and Lizzie Bartholomew is bound and determined to find the killer. As in all of Ann Cleeves' books, the murderer is a complete surprise and unexpected.

Andrew65 @EadieB Not Read this one yet. Not many books as good as the Shetlands Series. Would most make my top 10 or 20 series list. Seems hard to think it is all over. 😔 5y
TrishB Welcome to the 99p club! I‘ve read 2 of the Shetland ones, have another one on my kindle and the Vera ones! @cathythoughts (edited) 5y
