What Feasts at Night | T Kingfisher

The second book in T. Kingfisher's Sworn Soldier series, this novella works as a standalone. A gothic horror story that's both creepy and cozy. It's been nominated for the #hugoawards Best Novella.

“For anybody who doesn‘t know where they‘re going.”

One of my favorite book dedications that hit just right, just at the right time.

I only managed to read 20% of this novella before I very much needed to sleep for twelve hours, but now I‘m back on the case with my mood light to comfort me in my infectious solitude. It‘s great so far! I‘m such a sucker for anything about the theatre.

Marvelous! I'd say it leans a little closer to noir than Marple, just a bit more snappy and sexy (not to mention joyfully queer) in tone than the Christie classics, but there are definitely a plethora of cozy mystery moments. I'm gleeful that it's becoming a series.1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? I'm also more and more convinced that my favourite mysteries are novella length or shorter, there's just no time to get bogged down in misdirects and unnecessarily balking witnesses and suspects, a balm for my natural impatience. 4d
Robotswithpersonality 3/3 It still contains the crucial core: clues and suspects and things to uncover, plus the wonderful sci fi world established on the Fairweather, which given a number of asides, seems to be doing human society a damn sight better than we're managing currently.
More, please! ♥️

Rest Stop | Nat Cassidy

Driving to see his sick Bubbe, Abe stops at this middle of nowhere Rest Stop in the middle of the night where nothing is right. Cassidy writes one of my favorite things. When a character is in a high pressure situation, those closest to them start talking to them subconsciously. In this case, it‘s his horrible Bubbe and his golden retriever bandmate Ty. There‘s creepy crawlies, a killer, some Yiddish, and a surprisingly poignant moment. Pick!

AmyG A horrible Bubbe? What? 🤣 4d
Reggie @AmyG she‘s the mean grandma. lol 4d
vivastory I've heard great things about this one. Really enjoyed Nestling. Looking forward to the latest werewolf story 4d
Reggie @vivastory This has been the only book by him I‘ve read. But my hold for his Wolves book on Libby came in. He was on the most recent episode of Books in the Freezer and seemed pretty cool. 2d

Murder by Memory | Olivia Waite

4.5 ⭐ A storyteller must be a semi genius to make an entire world in less than 150 pages. In Murder by Memory we‘re on a ship traveling through space for a thousand year journey. They have a library which contains every person‘s memory that are re-added every time their body falls apart. Like any society, there is death and murder. A detective is woken from her chosen sleep to solve the newest murder isn‘t a murder.

LibrarianRyan This murder is not of the body, it‘s a permanent murder of the memories in the library. Waking up in your own body is bad enough but waking up in another body that you don‘t recognize and have no control over could be a great boon to a detective but also a great hindrance to the case. This book has ups, downs, heartbreak, and everything you could possibly want in 150 pages. 5d
