Cuilin How do you think Little Dorrit compares to other Dickens you have read? I personally didn‘t enjoy it as much as others, but I think that was a me thing. 🤷‍♀️ 5d

Bury Your Dead: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel | Louise Penny

pick

Previously, in The Brutal Telling, Three Pines‘ beloved Olivier was accused of murder. Bury Your Dead wraps up his storyline and introduces two new storylines. In the time between Chief Inspector Gamache‘s last visit to Three Pines and this book, the chief and his team are pulled into a very scary plot involving the kidnapping of a police officer. In this book, he and Jean-Guy Beauvoir relive the event that has left them both with terrible ⬇️

Texreader physical and emotional scars. They replay the events as they try to recover from it. During the Chief‘s attempt at recovery staying in Quebec City, he‘s pulled into helping local authorities investigate a murder. This murder mystery is hands-down one of the best because it involves the founding of Canada, missing books, and a long walk through history. Meanwhile, Beauvoir tries to improve his own health in Three Pines while following up on ⬇️ 3w

Texreader orders from the Chief to continue to look into the murder that occurred in the previous book, The Brutal Telling. These multiple storylines are told brilliantly and have the reader on pins and needles throughout the book. If you are not endeared with the characters yet, this one may do it for you. #serieslove @thespineview @Andrew65 3w

The Death File | J. A. Kerley

so-so

Spotted that I had missed the final book in this series that I used to love and downloaded for my hols. Whilst Carson was as smart as ever this is missing a number of the things that made me enjoy the original books so much. Here 2 nursery catapult Ryder from Florida and away from restarting his partnership and across the country where lots of things happen to people it was hard to care about. I give it a so so maybe out of nostalgia #serieslove

The Brutal Telling: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel | Louise Penny

pick

Chief Inspector Gamache is called yet again when a dead body is found in Olivier‘s cafe in Three Pines, which has undergone a huge change. City dwellers have purchased the old Hadley house, aiming to turn the haunted place into a luxury B&B. Olivier immediately becomes the main suspect of killing the poor old man in his cafe. It takes the detectives an immense amount of time to even discover who the man was, much less his murderer. This fifth ⬇️

Texreader in the series feels more concocted than the previous books. And I‘m bothered a bit by the logic—where the blood is found. But this is part 1 of 2 apparently, ending in quite the cliffhanger. We learn a lot about Olivier‘s past. He wasn‘t always the sweet, charming good-looking man everyone thought he was. Meanwhile, a few more characters‘ story lines continue: Clara is to have prestigious solo art show. Ruth‘s relationship with her duck Rosa ⬇️ 1mo

Texreader is changing, but I wish there were artwork of Rosa in her daily clothes and her little raincoat. And we have a new detective, a young skinny Paul Morin, a newby with certain skills that come in handy. Even though I didn‘t care for this book as much as the previous ones in the series, I still find Three Pines charming as ever and look forward to the many more books in the series. #serieslove @thespineview @andrew65 1mo

The Rushworth Family Plot: A Novel | Claudia Gray

I enjoyed this more than any since the first book. The romance is really heating up and there is *drama*! And the solutions of the mysteries are cleverly deduced.

I'm hoping the next book will have a HEA because I'm not sure my heart can take much more!
