pickSeventies political fiction down in Mexico, based on a real horror story that was widespread in South America at the time. I listened to this one in one weekend, it was engaging and felt so real. Having notes from the author at the end was such a treat, bc the whole book was rly well researched, and I appreciated more details on the real world events!
pickSecond in his Bernie Gunther series of hardboiled crime set in Nazi Germany. A good read overall, though the plot was a bit silly and there were a couple of needless sex scenes thrown in for no real reason.
pickSo creepy. She was such a good writer. But her characters make my skin crawl a bit.

pickNew kitty alert! 😻💖 We‘re deciding to call her “Greycie”.
I really enjoyed this book. It was arguably a little too lengthy/meandery for the storyline but that only heightened the tension for me. #AuthorAMonth
pickFirst book of holiday finished! This is definitely more of a psychological thriller than a murder mystery, as the characters‘ slowly start to melt down. They were all very unlikeable, but that‘s what makes the book so good; that you still want to read about horrid people.
I had hoped to use this for #pop22 as well as #authoramonth but, as I suspected, only the very first part is on a train so back to the drawing board for that!

pickThis is my first Erle Stanley Gardner book and I quite enjoyed it. I love these Hard Case Crime books and am trying to read as many as I can in order. They‘re fun, fast reads that keep your attention and as always, I love the noirish vibe. 4⭐️

pickA baby is smothered with a cuddly toy. How does it fit in with the deaths of children and adolescents in Amaia's allegedly closed cases? And Amaia is convinced her mother is still alive despite everybody else believing she was washed away in the river during the storm. 👎
This morning I put up a new book display at my library. It features books with Liar in the title.
