Countdown City: The Last Policeman | 
pickContinuing my year of random reading, I finally read book 2 in The Last Policeman series. 5 ⭐️
A noir-style detective story set at the end of the world. What do you do and how do you live when the world is ending all around you? This seemingly simple, fast-paced book takes on those questions and more.
so-soAn asteroid is fast approaching that will destroy earth (but not yet, this is book 2 of 3) and now former cop Hank Palace is trying to help a friend find her husband. Not really the book for now, but my summer reading challenge is about finishing series I'd started. And in some ways I guess it is, because it features a white cop trying to navigate a world where power structures no longer include him. ...
pickWhile the world is plummeting into chaos, one former policeman is still trying to find missing persons, as well as keeping an eye on his sister. With a deceased drug dealer‘s dog as his sidekick, Detective Henry Palace must separate fact from conspiracy in order to find and protect the people he cares about. Definitely looking forward to the third, and final installment.
pickBook two of The Last Policeman Trilogy was excellent. It is 77 days till an asteroid destroys the earth . The infrastructure of the world is crumbling. People are losing hope and losing sanity. But Hank is intent on solving his missing persons case. A dystopian police procedural 🤔
Perhaps I shouldn't look at my Kindle deals in the early morning because I just bought books 2&3 of the Last Policeman trilogy, about a cop trying to maintain order at the end of the world. I read and liked book 1 ages ago. https://amzn.to/2wG0NzA
pickA solid follow-up to The Last Policeman, this book continues to follow Hank Palace as he tries to eke out a somewhat normal existence as the world falls apart around him. I think the gradual disintegration of infrastructure and civility is depicted realistically with 3 months left before asteroid collision. I‘m looking forward to the final book.
A spot of reading in bed before getting ready to see my husband at the hospital. He is recovering well, and hopefully will come home by the end of next week. I‘m grateful. I‘m on leave from work to better take care of him, myself, and to prepare for him to come home. Today though, I‘m feeling sad because I should be on a plane to see my family in Switzerland for Christmas. 🎄😔#pitypartyofone
pickDespite the impending end of the world, Henry is on a mission - to find his former babysitter's missing husband. This trilogy is excellent, both for its micro mystery as well as the arcing doom. Also, it's a great travel book.
#MarchIntoReading #BlameItOnLitsy
There are oh, so many things I can blame on Litsy!!! Including my current weekend trading: The Last Policeman trilogy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
On to book II of The Last Policeman
Starting the day out right with a little reading before work
pickExcellent!! The only good thing about being home sick today is that I can start reading book 3 right now!
I don't usually read books in a series close together - I like to move on to another book/world/story because I want to read everything.
But there is something about Det. Hank Palace and the world of this series that is so compelling, I can't put off book 2 any longer!
pick2017 #16 Pre Apocolyptic eBook I want to date Hank Palace and hug Ben Winters. I love this series for its simple story, well written world, flawed human characters surviving in fantastical times. Even better than the first. For a fictional book it leaves my emotions weighted with "what would I do" and my heart breaks at what may befall us if and when the world goes to pieces. +
pickPre-apocalyptic mystery ✅
This is why I love the protagonist of Winters' The Last Policeman trilogy: his no-nonsense pragmatism, even in the face of the upcoming asteroid strike that will decimate Earth.
#Septimus is exhausted by his attempts to supervise my book stacking activities. Isn't he adorable? Makes me want to take a nap! #catsofLitsy
Dinner on my own at the neighborhood Chinese restaurant: spring roll, fried dumplings, and cashew chicken, with #booksandbeer 👍🏼😎
pickThis is the second book in The Last Policeman series. It was a quick enjoyable read. Interesting plot, good writing. And I am a big fan of Detective Hank Palace!
pickGreat second book that's different enough from the first to hold its own (but you should still read The Last Policeman first). I'd say that I can't wait to read the final installment, but in a cruel twist of fate it looks like I'll have to because someone else already has it checked out-aargh!
