Another winner in the Shardlake series.

This time Shardlake gets a case from the queen to look into a case. A young man has committed suicide after saying that something monstrous has happened to his previous pupil. The family lives in the south not far from Ellen‘s hometown, so he decides to look into her story as well.

An intricate mystery, fooling me to the end. I did not see that end coming.

dabbe Excellent review. I was in the dark as to the mystery, too, and I read it before! 🤣 14m
AnneCecilie @dabbe I read it before too, but some 10 yrs ago. We can‘t be expected to remember everything 😊 12m

“She kills her lover on the altar of a foreign goddess.”

This is page 1, sentence 1… in the gods damned prologue.

Respectfully… What the f***?!

April wrap-up: I finished two books for March #foodandlit #Ireland, then read four books for April #Rwanda (still working on my fifth). I read one book for #authoramonth Kate Quinn (still reading two more), and one book I finished from last month‘s author Leigh Bardugo. And I read Keeping House as an impulse read.

I tagged my favorite book of the month, but it was a close call.

Easy to pick Dune over the Scarlet Letter, but ultimately had to go back and look at my ratings to determine the winner of the first 1/3 of the year. #readingbracket2025

I thought about the Night Circus too. Both are great books. If you haven't read either, I recommend them both.

Setting off on the #ShelfSweeper readathon running throughout May by reading the tagged book set in 1896 and featuring a mother / private detective investigating a murder of a Professor in a library at King‘s College London.

Been sat on my shelf since July 2014.

Thanks to these Litsy folks for today‘s prompt:

TODAY‘S PROMPT: CIRCUS

WWII.  The circus theme was quite interesting.  I wasn't aware of traveling circuses during that time, but it seems like the perfect way to help keep some of the Jewish community safe and hidden during the Holocaust.
