Welcome to Litsy!

I found this book on a list of PNR….so it wasn‘t what I was expecting….

4½ ✨

Reading very much like a work of Fiction, this brutal account of the Clutter Murders is bone chilling.

Not only is Capote a masterful writer, but his dedication to obtaining all the information needed for this recounting amazes me - especially taking into account the when. No quick Google searches to check facts, or see photos of places. Just feet on the ground investigation.

Saw this on fb and I thought it sounded good!

This was one of my most anticipated reads of 2025. It‘s a story about grisly serial murders in post-WWII London. We see how two different journalists covered the notorious crimes for both newspaper and legal review case study. It‘s a must-read for true crime addicts, but WARNING: sexual violence to women. #truecrime

I absolutely loved this! Such a detailed study, not only of the two main characters but also of the peripheral players and the town itself.

Catherine and George Clare have moved from the city to a farmhouse haunted by a previous tragedy, when Catherine is also found murdered.

Thanks for sending this to me some time ago @BarbaraBB - it‘s one that I‘m going to be thinking about for quite some time!

Fingers crossed

Satirical and silly—and just a little mysterious! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An interesting novel of sorts. 3 friends, all writers, decided to write a novel together and head to Scotland for a research trip. As I read this, I felt like this was just a fun little story that juxtaposed the authors with fictional versions of themselves.

This is a cozy novel as much as it is a female empowerment novel. With alternating chapters featuring the 3 writers, it has them playing Miss Marple/Jessica Fletcher types. 3.5 ⭐️ #BookSky

I easily binged this series. The mysteries were fun and i enjoy the relationships between the various characters.
