I like Hawley, but this is a miss for me…

I loved Hawley‘s Before the Fall, so I thought I‘d go back and read his debut, but frankly, it‘s a mess. I‘m about 1/3 through and can‘t take anymore. The premise is intriguing, but it‘s bloated with unnecessary exposition and scenes that don‘t contribute to the story. Good to know that he learned and grew, so I‘ll stick with his later books.

My first #LMPBC and I‘ve enjoyed all the books read. This literary thriller was suspenseful yet very dense in places. Linus Owen is a professor of conspiracy theories and married to Claudia. One day at work, Linus is informed that his wife has been killed on the way to Brazil. With the help of two friends, Linus embarks on a search across the country asking questions he needs answering. An Interesting read.

#lmpbc choice, so won't say too much.

@Cupcake12 @charl08 because of Christmas/postal strikes, do we want to start it in January so that we avoid some of the hassle?

#tbrtarot for November @CBee

#authorsphotographonback #52bookclub2022

CBee Hooray! 2y

@Cupcake12 @charl08 I'm currently reading this for #lmpbc but it's an ex-library book and I've just discovered some pages missing. Should I chose a different book or are you happy to continue with the tagged?

Cupcake12 Can the still follow the story ok? 2y
jenniferw88 @Cupcake12 we're missing 9 pages, but it doesn't look as if we've missed out on much. It doesn't logically follow on, but the next chapter sticks with similar themes/same characters (minus the one who has already died and whose death is being investigated). @charl08 2y
Cupcake12 I‘m happy to read it x when do we have to send the book out? Who do I send my book out too? 2y

jenniferw88 @Cupcake12 at the end of the month, usually, but as we're only 3 you could wait until after Xmas because of the strikes and posting over the holidays. You are sending each book to me, and I send on to @charl08 , who will then send back to you. 2y
Cupcake12 Brilliant, thank you xx 2y
charl08 I don't mind re the missing pages. Can I check where I can find the info re mailing etc? Thinking I have missed an email, but don't know who it would come from to check... 2y
jenniferw88 @charl08 it should come from Suellen Williams, but I was going to include it in a note to you anyway, as we always send on to the same person. 2y
charl08 Thank you! Found it. 2y

#booksandchill as Publisher's Weekly describe it as a chiller in their review.

Just bought this one from the library, along with The Dressmaker by Rosalie Ham.

StayCurious I love the way you interpret prompts! +2 5y
