Welcome to Litsy!

On audio I listened to another installment of the detective Kim Stone series. I am still not convinced to continue reading the series so I quit it for now. So many books, too little time.

And now I am back home with tons of fantastic memories and the Booker longlist to look forward to!

I just love this series more and more as I go along. This is number 4, and Kim finds herself and her team investigating a serial killer who‘s leaving victims on a “body farm” viciously beaten and stabbed. This one has some surprises and a reappearance of a possible love interest for Kim. Love these characters, stories and humor in these books. Recommended. 4.5/5⭐️

Overall I enjoyed this book but it still felt a pale comparison compared to the first three in the series. It had quite a complex plot with many characters, & felt some information was held back which would have helped decide who the killer was. Also felt a lack of developing storylines for the main characters, & for me this was the biggest miss.

That said though it was still an enjoyable read, but just not to the high standard of the others.

A 'body farm' investigating human decomposition, its inhabitants are corpses in various states of decay. But when Detective Kim Stone and her team discover the fresh body of a young woman, it seems a killer has discovered the perfect cover to bury their crime.

I decided to spend this Friday evening with one of my favorite detectives DI Kim Stone. 😍😍😍

I'm still reading The Stand too, but the book is so huge that I need little breaks to read other titles even though I am enjoying it so far (62% in so there is still a long road ahead). 🙈

The fourth book in the series takes in the perennially fascinating 'body farm' as a perfect place to dispose of murder victims. The main set of characters are really working well together, and although it was a little slow to start, once it got going the plot was well planned and paced. I did manage to guess the identity of the killer but there was an extra twist in there, just to keep things interesting. 4🌟

Because the world needs more Kim Stone books! Published May 13. Can‘t wait!!! 🥰😍🥰😌🥰

Another fantastic read in this series 👍🏻 loving Kim more each book.
Great story line, character building and twists and turns.
The serial killers are doing it for me at the moment 😁

The serial killers seem to be doing it for me at the moment. Just starting.

Angela Marsons knows how to keep you coming back for more. This series is awesome and I definitely look forward to the next. I love her team and the banter between all of them. Great quick read! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Gloomy outside... Monday... headache... yeah, I‘m going to check out and not adult today. Bring on Kim Stone! 🤓

Raining outside + Sleeping baby=Starting the next in the Kim Stone series! 😍

Classic case of “It‘s not you, it‘s me.” My reading of this one was pretty scattered so I wasn‘t able to get as wrapped up in the storyline. Still loving this series though and look forward to the next installment.

I think we are officially in “slump” territory. ☹️

My view since Tuesday. Sadly I have not wanted to read at all so I‘m hoping this mac ‘n cheese book will do the trick. Stay healthy, my friends!

It‘s time to do what the title says and escape the world into this book set in the Black Country. Goodbye reality, hello Kim Stone!

This was the last D.I. Kim Stone book in my reread before moving into new (to me) books in the series. I really enjoy this one, primarily because of the added element of the body farm. The serial killer is clever and creepy. We also get some insight into Kim's sometimes nemesis crime reporter. The tension builds really well to the end and has a truly satisfying conclusion.

TW: body dysmorphia, (a lot of) dead bodies, bullying

I absolutely love this series. Each book gets better and better. I‘m thankful my library is connected with Mobius which shares with other library systems nationwide. This one came from Altoona, the next one is ordered and being shared from Springfield!!! 😊💜💜💜

Amazon deal today, this is 99p for Kindle at the moment....sounds like a good thriller

About to start this new book can‘t wait to see what it‘s really like love a thriller 📚📚😍.

Loved this instalment the best this far. I loved the antagonists and there whole murder mystery. There were s couple twists that were really unexpected do that was a treat. I feel like DI Kim Stone is really growing as a character and that we are seeing so many different facets of her character.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Another #mystery so suspenseful it left me breathless and so thrilling I couldn't put it down. Marsons never fails to provide her readers with a crazy, intense plot that's fresh and inventive, balancing the darkness with light through the development and healing of her characters throughout the series. A true artist when it comes to weaving together the many fibers of an intricate storyline to create a perfect tapestry of crime!

I love this author, her books are so dark and creepy, but . . . does anyone else ever worry that they're somehow exposing their #readingcompanions to inappropriate material . . . or am I just weird? #dogsoflitsy #mystery #thriller
