Welcome to Litsy!

An MP is found dead at a school reunion. A few days later another MP who was also at the party is found dead. Are the deaths related to the death of a classmate 21 years before?

At first I found it difficult to keep track of the suspects attending the party. It's not just me, my niece who has also read the book said the same. Once I got over that hurdle, I found it an engaging read though not a fantastic one.

So-So bordering on a Pick.

🤣

This was ok… definitely my list favourite of the three in this series. Unlikable, shallow characters, unsatisfying ending. But it‘s good to see Harbinder happy at the end.

Good mystery. It was a little difficult to keep track of all the different povs, especially when more than one was in first person.

This is my weekend agenda! #readathon #20in4

'Steep Hill,' says Stephen Hill. 'You can see why we didn't double- barrel our names."

Stephen, who is sitting between his sister and the FLO on stylish-looking sofa, alternates between tears and gallant attempts at humour.

Harbinder has seen enough bereaved relatives to know that this is fairly standard. Or, rather, that there is no one way of expressing grief.

Finished the newest book in the ‘Harbinder‘ series from Elly Gritths and it was great! I was hooked from the beginning but the last half I didn‘t want to put it down 🤩 Hope this series continues!

I felt like I was so behind on Christmas decorations. Then I realized it‘s only December 4th so it‘s not the end of the world our tree and lights were just put up today 😆 I‘m now enjoying the twinkling lights and warm Christmas tree glow with a new book (newest book by a favorite author, hoping I can stick with it 🤞) and my nose less reindeer socks (honestly don‘t know what happened between last year and this year but we‘re rolling with it lol)

The opening third of this book seemed slow, and it took me a while to get into it, but I got to the point where I couldn‘t put it down. The third book to feature DI Harbinder Kaur, she‘s been promoted and moved to London, so there was a lot to set up. Probably not Griffiths‘ best, but still darn good, and I‘m looking forward to the next installment.

The latest in the DI Harbinder Kaur series, this time a fellow police officer has a secret from her past and a recent death causes suspicion to fall on her and a group of friends I thought it was OK, but not one of her better books.

Elly Griffiths‘ Ruth Galloway books are my favorite mystery series, and Harbinder Kaur is another great lead character. In this third book, she‘s moved to London and gotten a promotion so the setting and supporting characters are different. I thought it was still good, and the mystery was interesting, but I missed some of the original two books in this one. I will definitely read the next one!

“Is it possible to forget that you‘ve committed a murder?” I‘m only 30 pages in and already hooked!

I was so excited when this appeared on my Kindle yesterday. Ellie Griffiths is one of my favorite authors, and I‘ve really enjoyed the two previous Harbinder Kaur mysteries. Even though I‘m in the middle of another novel, I‘m jumping right in.

.

Griffiths is already one of my go-to authors and I am so pleased to see her ramping up the Harbinder Kaur series at the same time she ends Ruth Galloway.
Kaur is a magnificent protagonist - wry, funny, brave, and well-able to hold her own in the male-dominated world of London CID. Her social awkwardness is endearing and familiar to anyone who has found themselves in a new, unfamiliar, but exciting city. Out Nov 15.

Okay, this makes my Monday morning after the time change better!! The newest Harbinder book from Elly Griffiths is coming!! Eeeeeee, I can‘t wait!! UK version pubs in October, I hope I don‘t have to wait too long for the US copy to be available 🤞
