Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this thriller/ mystery. I thought some of the writing insightful and interesting. I totally fell for the Oxford vibe .. loving the narrow lanes and some unusual characters. I‘ve looked up more by this author, I really like her ❤️

#WeeklyForecast

I started Magpie Lane yesterday.. I‘m really enjoying. So Im looking forward to more of it today 👍🏻

Also I feel drawn to this book - Elena Knows, so time permitting I might try it later in the week.

Happy reading everyone X
Hi Cindy ♥️

I‘ll be joining the #AwesomeApril #readathon this week, hoping to finally get over this awful book slump I‘ve been in since having Covid. Maybe I‘ll be able to actually finish a book😱 My goals are:
📚 Read a book!
⏱ Read for at least 24hrs
📉 Start to bring my reading tally back up again🤞

I‘m starting with the tagged book, which was a birthday gift from the always lovely @CarolynM & which is my #Doublespin book for April. Wish me luck🍀

An Oxford Master‘s 8-year-old daughter goes missing and police turn to the child‘s Scottish nanny for answers.

I‘m really enjoying this thriller so far and especially all the tidbits about “town and gown” (the realities of the city of Oxford vs those of the college).

Thanks again to @BookishTrish for this #CreepyChristmas gift!

Expertly written thriller/domestic drama that has a surprising amount of emotional heft. Very creepy and atmospheric as well - great for this time of year. Loved the use of Dee, the nanny, as the first person narrative voice telling the story.

I enjoyed this - a solid vacation thriller that went in a different direction thans I‘d expected.

I really enjoyed this book, rather creepy thriller/crime story. Dee a Scottish nanny, takes a job looking after Felicity. The little girl goes missing, Dee is questioned by the police and through this, we learn all about her father Nick, stepmother Mariah and why Felicity is mute, seeing ghosts and grieving for her dead mother. Dee has her own secret past too! Great read! #books

A book in a day! Not high art, but an entertaining enough thriller. Lot of moral questions in it.
No idea what my #weeklyforecast may be because every time I finish a book I have no idea what I want to read next at the moment.

More worried about the ones running the country 😁
This book is actually holding my interest.

Engrossing crime mystery centring on the disappearance of a young child and the dysfunctional family of the Master of an Oxford College, narrated by Dee, the girl's nanny and the police's chief suspect. Most enjoyable.
