Man Who Tried to Get Away
Man Who Tried to Get Away | Stephen R Donaldson
4 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
Running away from yourself never works. You'll always catch up. "Donaldson, at his trademark best, fleshes out the characters to the max...and it's all wrapped around a well-paced, cleverly-plotted mystery that will leave readers wanting more." --"Charleston Post" on "The Man Who Killed His Brother" Mick "Brew" Axbrewder was once a great P.I. That was before he accidentally shot and killed a cop-worse, a cop who happened to be his own brother. Then Mick's partner, Ginny Fistoulari, blew off her own hand protecting him from a confrontation brought on by his alcoholism. Unsurprisingly, Mick and Ginny aren't on great terms any more. Now, a week after an incident in which he was shot, barely back on his feet, Mick has agreed against his better judgement to join Ginny in providing security at a "murder mystery camp," where a dozen people stay in an isolated, snowbound lodge to play at being detectives. Then a real killer starts bumping people off, one by one... As ever, Stephen Donaldson shows why he's regarded as one of America's greatest storytellers, with a tale of human pain and human triumph.

I feel like Minerva is judging me for reading & posting on Litsy when I should really be working on my #CampNanowrimo project. #CatsofLitsy #CatwithBook

Minerva‘s happy about my #bookmail too! I‘m torn between dropping everything to start reading it now, or finishing my current read. Decisions, decisions! #catwithbook #catsofLitsy

After waiting over a month for a book I ordered, I found out a few weeks ago that my package was lost. Thrift Books sent me an apology, refunded my money, and told me to keep the book if it did eventually show up. Well, guess what I found in my mailbox today? Totally made my day 😁 Now that I finally have the penultimate book in this series I can #bingeread the last two books! #BookMail #BetterLateThanNever

So... the book I ordered a month ago hasn‘t arrived yet. It was supposed to be here last week! I just started reading the series, after putting it off for years, because I was looking forward to FINALLY having all 4 books & now I have to pace myself so I don‘t complete book 2 before book 3 arrives. I know I shouldn‘t be impatient. After all, I‘ve been searching for this book for years so what‘s a few more days? But... damn! #BookwormProblems

Prairiegirl_reading Omg! That would drive me bonkers! I ordered four books on May 17 and I already have three of them. I checked the tracking obsessively!! Waiting a month!!?? 🤦🏻‍♀️ 6y
rretzler Is that a new Stephen Donaldson? I've only read a few of his books, but my husband is a big fan. If it's new, I may have to surprise him! 6y
TK-421 @rretzler Actually it‘s an old book, and as far as I know, not in print anymore so that‘s why I had trouble getting my hands on a copy. Donaldson does have a new trilogy - The Great God‘s War - in the works. Two books have been released so far. The first is 6y
CoffeeCatsBooks I feel your pain! 😢And I‘m whining about a box of books that were supposed to arrive before Memorial Day weekend and now will arrive, I hope, today. 6y
