Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m ready for Bloody Scotland Book Club next week. I couldn‘t find a copy of the third book, but I have thoughts on the other two.

The Monkey‘s Raincoat-Phillip Marlowe meets Rambo. Fast paced, firmly set in the 1980s, a little ridiculous.

A Fatal Inversion-Not fast paced. College students hang out in an old manor house and make terrible decisions that come back to haunt them ten years later.

This is my second Barbara Vine mystery (Ruth Rendell writing psychological mysteries) and it was very good. A group of young people in an old English country home make some bad decisions -then ten years later when they‘re all living their suburban lives, a body is found.
Some people would hate this. It‘s slow in parts. A lot of unlikeable characters, some of whom may not face consequences while terrible things happen to some innocent characters⬇️

An amazing story, skillfully written, to be savored word by word.

Reading for the R.I.P. Challenge. They don't make covers like this anymore.
