It feels a lot like a first book. Lots of good ideas but the execution is lacking a bit. The pace of the plot felt off to me. It got going than stopped abruptly and lingered then got going again. I liked the main characters Marion and Bill I got a feel of them. What they wanted, what they were about. The secondary characters were more prop to the story then full fledged characters. #netgalley #mystery

writerlibrarian The idea is interesting, a secret organization doing business from the underground of London. The links to the historical timeline are teasingly well done (Bletchley, the weapon's race, etc.) and inserted in this somewhat alternate world that has potential.

Very much a first book that delivered less then promised.

This was a NetGalley ARC. (edited) 3y

I passed the 75% mark. It feels a lot like a first book. Lots of good ideas but the execution is lacking a bit.
🐧 in Boston. They are on a losing streak when playing at the Garden. They are 0-10 since Sullivan became HC.

Penguin's hockey. I'm almost at 60%. It's interesting but the slow pace is bugging me a little. Also my reading companion is adorable.

Hockey night. I'm at 50% on this ARC. It's interesting but has a lot of shades of Potter's universe. It's making me twitch.
Happy Friday.
