Oh I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. It might be my favourite Moriarty yet. (It‘s certainly up there with Big Little Lies and What Alice Forgot). The audio is great with fab Australian narrators.

Best book I‘ve read in months! Really easy to get into. Decent plot, right amount of good characters.

I hate John Rainbird. These are all feelings I‘ve had before; I just forgot about them. #audiowalk #LosersClub

Reggie There is something in here that happens to a postal worker and it makes me furious. And of course I had to read it during Trumps first term where all the stuff with the post office was happening. 8h

KathyWheeler @Reggie Yes! I just passed that part today and it‘s infuriating! 8h

Witchcraft for Wayward Girls | Grady Hendrix

pick

6-15-25: My 40th finished book of 2025! I like Hendrix‘s books. They are weird and fun usually. This one was weird but also very sad. A 15 year old girl named Neva is brought to a home for pregnant unwed girls. Stick there for 3 months she must give birth and give up her child for adoption. It‘s the rule. In between that sorrow are witches. A book given to Neva and her friends turns deadly when they decide to use it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣4️⃣0️⃣

DNF'd at 39%. I honestly just got tired of waiting for the actual horror to start and didn't care for the Desperate Housewives Shlock Shtishow.

Lynette could have been interesting if her actual trauma was explored instead of her behaving like a freak all the time (her casually saying how she would shoot a child is wild to me). Some plot points in the book were so unrealistic.

Doppoetry Normally, I wouldn't mind the unrealism, but this book is so grounded in real topics and, well, reality that the choices made really threw me off. You can't have a book about traumatized women in real life, and then not follow societal norms when you're in a public place. 18h

The Gift | Freida McFadden

pick

4 Stars • In Freida McFadden's "The Gift," a Christmas thriller inspired by O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi," newlywed Stella Hansen, struggling financially, makes a desperate deal with a mysterious woman, Helga, to get the perfect Christmas gift for her husband, Justin. The creepy, fast-paced novella explores sacrifice and love, culminating in a shocking twist that recontextualizes the story.
