After we moved here, first thing I noticed? No B&N and no local bookstores. Except BAM!, and I was never a member because we didn't have one where I lived. Guess who is now not only a member, but just earned a $10 gift card and $100 worth of coupons? That's right. This Lady. I found a hardback of The Diabolic for $3.97, could not say no to these cozy mysteries, and look at The Dying Detective. Perfect motivation to finish my Library ❤️ #BookHaul
pickI'm giving this Swedish crime novel a pick for the plot. A well-crafted mystery w/ characters I found easy to root for. The #audiobook read by Erik Davies was nicely done—good accent, nice pacing—although there was a brief section w/ breathing noises. My issue? The translator was not great w/ idioms, something I've not noticed often in books in translation. If the characters & story hadn't grabbed me, the translation would have driven me nuts
Started this Scandinavian crime novel on #audiobook this morning and just can't stop listening. Every second I've had I've been hearing the story of how a retired detective stews over a cold case murder while in the hospital recovering from a stroke. It's totally grabbed my attention.
