Welcome to Litsy!

#serieslove2024 I didn‘t read any Peter James last year so I thought it was high time to check one out again . Roy Grace is on the case of a rapist with a fetish for women in designer high heels .Roy wonders if there are more than one perpetrator and if it links back to an old case that was never solved . A Page Turner!

#BookSerendipity Close to the end of Mercury, just starting Dead Like You , both have a character named Jade!

After the events of the last book, Emma and Sam decided to start a detective agency, and their first case is a doozy. I found the parallel investigations of the police and the detective agency to be a little repetitive, but I liked the story otherwise. I‘d thought it was the last in the series, but Goodreads tells me there‘s at least one more. I‘m glad, because this one opens up some interesting threads for the main characters. #serieslove2024

The Hobbit is a #roadtrip story, right? #ittakesallkinds #fellowshipofTolkien

A soft pick. I enjoyed catching up with old and new characters several years after the events of the last book, but I have to say the dynamic of Emma as bored housewife and Edgar as her clueless husband was a bit annoying. The overall story was interesting. There‘s one more to go in this series, and I already have it in the queue. #serieslove2024 #fabulousfebruary

I‘m in the middle of a couple long books, so I snuck this in under the wire for January. I predicted the perpetrator and knew about the change in the DI‘s situation, but neither panned out as I expected. All in all a good story.

Meanwhile for #seriesread2024 mystery edition and my #readorbail effort, I decided to bail on Boar Island since I really wasn‘t enjoying it. A friend of mine from Maine didn‘t like it, and considering that it‘s set there…

Twisty, satirical, silly and unbelievable in the best possible way, this story of criminal gangs in 1950s Brighton is the anti Brighton Rock. I enjoyed it enormously.

I went to a book sale and got this stack. None will go on my immediate tbr, but they will be read eventually.

Reading is slow. Partly because life is too busy, partly because of a slump 🫤
I did read Rock Paper Scissors, and really enjoyed it ! Thankyou @EverydayImReading for the recommendation 👍🏻

Still reading Daddy‘s Gone A-Hunting , very good.
Started My Policeman, so far so good.

Have a good reading week everyone ♥️
Hi Cindy, I hope all is well with you.

A bit of a hit and miss at times though I did enjoy the humor in bits. Will give the second book a go to see if it clicks for me.
