Welcome to Litsy!

I have been working my way through this series for about a year (only halfway through!!), and my favorites are definitely the ones with the deaf man - so clever! Genuinely enjoying the 87th Precinct.

Also keep forgetting to post my time for the #WideHorizonsReadathon!! Finishing this book put me at 9hrs 1min - still behind for my goal, but we spent a lot of time yesterday painting new bookshelves, so I can't complain too much!! 😁

1. Tagged.
2. The Blue Castle, which was a reread. For new reads, I think it was A Man Called Ove.
3. Honestly nothing comes to mind. I don't watch a lot of tv or movies, though.

#BookReport - Read the tagged books, read one chapter of The Angel's Command before deciding it wasn't for me, and also read a not-pictured ebook, Some Kind of Wonderful, about which I had very mixed feelings. Now I'm in the midst of my next batch of 87th Precinct books, which I've been reading in groups of five whenever I feel like it. The tagged book is my current read and brings back my favorite villain from this series.

I find the recurring Deaf Man storyline a little out of place. So much of life in the 87th precinct is steeped in grimy realism, but the Deaf Man is a continually failing Moriarty wannabe. Here, there is a spat between a medical examiner and paramedics as to who should be responsible for taking down the body of a crucified murder victim. Meanwhile the Deaf Man taunts Carella with clues to his crime, clues which end up defeating the whole caper.
