Death at the Bar | Ngaio Marsh
post image
Pickpick

Inspector Alleyn and his loyal Fox look into the death of a barrister in a country pub. It was fine? It's solid, but nothing really remarkable about it. It's chronologically the next Marsh I hadn't read, but not one I'll likely remember.

Ruthiella Perfect for the prompt! 🎅🏻💀🎄🔪 I‘ve read Marsh before but have no memory of detective or plot with one exception-one featured Morris Dancing which I found fascinating. 14h
RaeLovesToRead I need to get back to this series! 14h

Iris Marle was thinking about her sister, Rosemary.
For nearly a year she had deliberately tried to put the thought of Rosemary away from her. She hadn‘t wanted to remember.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️21 books later and my favorite series is still 🔥. The beautiful writing, the characters that feel like home and the eerie content blended with great fiction.

In the corner of a first-class smoking carriage, Mr. Justice Wargrave, lately retired from the bench, puffed at a cigar and ran an interested eye through the political news in The Times.

Women's Prize long list book that I am just getting to. This was fine. I want to be a True Crime Girlie but I just don't think I am. I need more focus on the victims. This I think fails in marketing, the book is much more focused (IMO) on journalism. What information is given, how it is relayed. I think there are a lot of interesting tid bits in here but overall I didn't find the book itself interesting, it seemed a bit direction less.

danx Related to your desire for focus on the victims, I really enjoyed The Five by Hallie Rubenhold. Focuses on the lives of the victims of Jack the Ripper rather than the killer. We need more of this. 2d
ChaoticMissAdventures @danx I liked that one too. It did feel like there wasn't enough information for the author to work with though. But I really appreciate the effort. 2d
