Welcome to Litsy!

From the author of Get Carter, this portrays a criminal gangsters descent into madness as his pursuit of power fuels his increasing violence and dreadful revenge on those close to him by rivals. Set in 1970s London, it also has alternating chapters in a North Lincolnshire coastal town after George escapes the culmination of his violence. This noir book + its portrayal of the dark heart of crime was at times a tough read by a master storyteller

2025 Reads continued....
B - was certainly creepy but not a patch on previous novels. Bit disappointing.
THBH - A good creepy thriller. Enjoyed
CIAC 3 - a bit like the 3rd Halloween movie ( on purpose I think) Kinda disconnected from the previous novels. And there's no way the main character will not be in a 4th book
AMFC - Ridiculous premise but a sweet Xmas gay romcom. Really enjoyed.

Set in Melbourne during the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, “Home Before Night” is a psychological thriller. Residents are ordered into an 8 p.m. curfew and lockdown. When single mother Lou‘s teenage son fails to return home, her anxiety escalates as his phone goes silent and his social media remains dormant. While this may not be my favorite Pomare novella, it‘s still a compelling story.

Like the first Canon Clement book this is a mash up of a cozy mystery with the Church of England liturgy. This one digs a little bit into the variations in Anglican theology ranging from the “bible based” (as described here) evangelicals to the “if it moves bless it” (as Catherine Fox puts it) school of thought. The Canon leans towards the latter. I‘m not CofE but I‘m kind of fascinated by them so I enjoyed this even if the mystery is a bit thin.

Spotted that I had missed the final book in this series that I used to love and downloaded for my hols. Whilst Carson was as smart as ever this is missing a number of the things that made me enjoy the original books so much. Here 2 nursery catapult Ryder from Florida and away from restarting his partnership and across the country where lots of things happen to people it was hard to care about. I give it a so so maybe out of nostalgia #serieslove

This is a very enjoyable series set in Kent and the dungeness coast. DI Alex Culpidi is on sick leave after the events of the last few books but becomes curious about the murder of a couple in a local house. As she is dragged into the investigation, she quickly becomes at risk herself as it also involves historic events covered up by her close friend.

Fantastic!!!

The sixth case for Det Sergeant Washington Poe & analyst Tilly Bradshaw sees them investigate the murder of a man found tied to a tree & stoned to death. How does his death tie into the murder of 3 members of the same family 15 years earlier?

The case is already in the past in this book & the reader hears about it through Poe relating the story to a therapist. Yes, this case was so dark it gave Poe PTSD, (continued)
