pickIn rural Australia, 2 women have gone missing. The body of the first has been found and the second is sought, along with the suspected killer, horrifying this small community. We mainly follow the lead investigator here, but the cast of characters is (too) broad. There‘s a great red herring, but the vast cast sometimes made this confusing. A low pick for me.
Not on Litsy yet, but on NetGalley. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼🕺🏼😱😱😱😱
pickThought I'd try the first maeve kerrigan having heard Jane casey talking about the most recent. She is an enjoyable character, being the only female detective in an all male murder squad. In this story , what appears to be another victim of a serial killer, has Maeve wondering about anomalies which allow her to prove how good a police officer she is. Enjoyable and will read more in the series.
pickLots of books read since my last Litsy post!!
I‘ve been off the internet for a few months…
I‘ve loved the Japanese crime genre, Conclave by Robert Harris which I read just before the recent Conclave. Brooklyn, Long Island and The Safe Keep were also favourites!
pickVal is always a solid 4 star read for me.
I love her characters, their relationships and the very realistic growth they show.
Karen and her cold cases are quickly becoming my most favourite. The way Val structure these stories makes it page turners even knowing there's no life to save at the end.
This installment had a very intriguing plot and is set during COVID, so every normal thing had to be done slightly differently.
He really believed it was a madcap game. A joke. A dare, played out between old friends.

pickCatching up in the Karen Pirie series, which I really enjoy. This one finds Karen and her team trying to investigate a case during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns. It has a book with a book element too. You can‘t ever tell how everything is going to come together in the end, which works for me in a crime novel.

Another stunner in this series. Morally complex, expertly plotted, riveting – a tale of elusive evil.
