I enjoyed this #botm backlog (from 2017!) for my February #doublespin and #Roll100. Happy to move it along to a new reader.

A collection of pieces about crimes: these articles go far beyond the typical, salacious facts of murders. These pieces focus on the societal implications of crimes such as the racism that led to the Asian spa shooting, the lack of prosecution of the despicable behavior of the elite, the unforgivable injustice of those sitting behind bars for crimes they did not commit, lynching in the Deep South. Amanda Knox on her treatment in the media. Good!
Not my usual sort of read, but I thought this was great! Completely bonkers plot, very very funny, and some amazing characters! Will definitely be reading some more Hiaasen.
And 2 lines in #bookspinbingo which I think is a record for me!
Reading this today. It‘s my Book of the Month pick for February. Yep I‘m late getting started 😩 but it‘s been busy this month for me, in my mind and just stuff going on to keep me from starting. This book is a crime/mystery/fiction novel by Kristin Koval. So far it‘s a great read. So I‘ve high hopes for this one. Happy Reading! #LitsyReads #BookoftheMonth #crimemystery #fiction #crime #Reads2025
After the events in book 1, Hella returns to 1950's Helsinki, having been kicked out of the police and working as a private investigator. When she is asked to look into the murder of a sex worker, she quickly clashes with two police officers who were involved in her dismissal. A very enjoyable crime novel set in 50's Finland, which alternated chapters from hella and one of the officers. Will read book 3 soon.
The brownies I made kind of fell apart so I‘m eating them with ice cream. Happy Friday all!
Book 1 of the series. I‘d read some of the later ones, so it was interesting to go back to where it all started. #serieslove2025
“Leon‘s novels have opened a window into the private Venice of her citizens,a world of incomparable beauty,high culture,family intimacy,and delicious food. But …it is also beset by shocking crime,intractable social and environmental problems,and far-reaching,insidious corruption.”
Too overwhelming for me to review, so let this quote from book‘s inside cover suffice.#serieslove2025
