OutsmartYourShelf
The Magus of Hay | Phil Rickman
post image
Pickpick

When a man is found drowned below a waterfall, it looks like it could be either suicide or an accident until the police search the victim's home. What seemed like a simple case becomes a twisted tale involving paganism, magic, & Nazi history. In nearby Hay-on-Wye, Robin & Betty Thorogood decide to open a bookshop & inadvertently rent a haunted home.

OutsmartYourShelf Meanwhile with her holiday plans spoiled, Merrily is rattling around Ledwardine feeling a bit like a spare part - daughter Jane has gone on an archaeological dig with boyfriend Eirion, whilst Merrily's partner, Lol, is on a music tour.

I found this a better read than the previous book, probably due to the absence of the very-irritating-at-times Jane Watkins. Less of Jane's antics meant that there was more time to concentrate on Merrily
(edited) 11h
OutsmartYourShelf & her working relationship with DI Frannie Bliss, plus the return of the Thorogoods from an earlier book. The storyline itself was interesting, teased out very slowly in the way the reader comes to expect from these books. 4🌟

My #MayTBR Honestly, I doubt I‘ll get to all of these. I have a big work trip with long flights that may/may not help because of all the work around them. Nonetheless I‘m loading my Kindle & joining in on #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2024 #NancyDrewBR #SheSaid #BobWhiteBuddies #Naturalitsy #FoodAndLit #Roll100 & #SeasonalCozies I‘m also reading a book for virtual foodie book club, a book for the work trip, some #SeriesLove2024 titles & ⬇️

DebinHawaii …one from my #AuldLangSpine list too. And a couple “just because” titles. We‘ll see what happens & what ends up sneaking in the mix. 📚📚🤷🏻‍♀️📚📚📚 1d

#TheGirlWhoSurvived #NicholeSevern #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024 #May2024

It‘s been twenty years since Leigh found the murdered body of her twelve-year-old brother, Troy. Her father was arrested for the crime, but she never accepted that he did it. Her hunt for the real killer almost cost her everything…

EadieB
Now working for the FBI, Leigh is called back to New Hampshire when a series of copycat crimes are committed. Only the killer has left a very specific calling card, a plastic army figurine, the same as the one she found on Troy‘s body, and carved into its base: Leigh‘s name.

This case is as personal as it gets, and this time, Leigh is determined to make the right person pay. But when another child goes missing, can she dig deep into her past to find the clue she missed years ago, and put a monster behind bars for good?

EadieB
This is an addictive and unputdownable crime thriller. The edge of your seat twists that happen are unbelievable. I'm glad I kept reading until the end as I was shocked beyond my wildest dreams. I am now looking forward to the next book in the series. If you like thrillers that shock you to death then you will love this book.

Such a crazy week! I‘m still putting together my May TBR but here is my April recap. Surprisingly, I finished 18 books this month. The fact that several were short novellas or children‘s books helped.😉

I took part in #SundayBuddyRead #JaneAdjacent #ChildrensClassicRead2024 NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #SheSaid #TravelingStars2024 & #SeasonalCozies I also finished all 3 of my #Roll100 books & read several #SeriesLove2024 books & one from my ⬇️

DebinHawaii #AuldLangSpine list & knocked out a couple of challenge prompts. While I didn‘t get around to a couple of books/challenges I wanted to, I feel great about the month. I enjoyed most of what I read but standouts were Zorrie, The Second, Saving Mr. Rochester, A First Time for Everything & the final 2 1/2 books in The Naturals series. 2d

Book #1 in the Stage Dive series. I have already read 2 and 3. Enjoyed it and now that I have read, wonder what took me so long to get to it since I had read others in the series. While I in no way think it depicts rock star life, it is fiction after all, I liked the characters and was invested from the very beginning. Now I want to finish this series.
