So this was an excellent thriller. The first in the Detective Barbarotti series. I‘ve ordered all 5 others ! So good. I love the way Barbarotti philosophizes and takes his time with the finer details of the case.

Tamra Wow, it must have been good for the backlist order! I like these kinds of books on audio - I‘ll check for them. 3y
Cathythoughts @Tamra Yes, I was pleasantly surprised... I‘d love to hear your thoughts if you get there. It‘s easy reading 3y

I might finish Darkest Day today. It‘s a great read ..mad family dynamics , 2 missing people, and the detectives go for their after work pint in The Elk on a Swedish sounding road ( love all the Swedish vibes and snow ) well written easy read.

Hope to start Love Songs on audible , morning walks.

Then maybe Uncle Paul , I feel a need for more dark/ thriller writing. I may have a book hangover after Darkest Day

Happy reading ❤️

TrishB I am very tempted by Love Songs, not brought it yet. 3y
Cathythoughts @TrishB Yes, I‘m looking forward to it ❤️ 3y
Tamra Love Songs definitely TBR! I‘m afraid if I borrowed the audio from the library I wouldn‘t get through it by the due date. 😅 3y

Cinfhen Love songs was GREAT but it took awhile to get into the story. Audio was tough at start because I was wanting a family tree. Which the book didn‘t provide but it did have a cast of characters page ( pages actually) I may have loaned the book but if I have it I‘m happy to send you the list, Cathy!! 3y
LeahBergen It all looks lovely. Enjoy! 3y
Cathythoughts @Cinfhen Thanks so much Cindy that‘s very nice of your, but I‘ll see how I get on with it...I probably won‘t get to start it till Wednesday ... I‘ll keep you posted. ... but really no need to send the list, but I do Thankyou for thinking of me 😘 (edited) 3y

Just not sure about this book 😏 Think it was just too long. The story was okay but I got bored as nothing much happened for the amount of pages in the book. Don't think I will be rushing back to this series.

I have a dog, but a month ago I also got a little kitten. I love her! This was taken the first week. She threw about ten books on to the floor, and then sat on this spot a lot. The funny thing is, the book she sits in front of is called ‘man without dog‘ 😂😂❤️❤️ #catsoflitsy
