The Thin Man | Dashiell Hammett

I‘m not a “hard boiled / noir” aficionado but maybe I should be, who doesn‘t love an MC walking around, shot & drunk, unwittingly solving a crime. From the description I thought Nora would be a more involved character, so that was a let down, but I was entertained.

Bookwomble If you want to get more of Nora (and Asta, the dog), I'd heartily recommend the old film adaptation with William Powell and Myrna Loy. One of my all-time favourite movies 😊 1h

RaeLovesToRead I recently read (and hated) the Maltese Falcon... maybe this one is better? Maybe I should have another go...... now

After getting caught up on the Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny, I was looking for another series to dig into & I‘m so glad when a friend suggested the Shetland books! It took me a little bit to learn the characters but was pleasantly surprised by the reveals towards the end. Shetland is a fascinating setting & I‘m really looking forward to listening to the rest of them!

mcctrish Am I the only one blindsided by this proposal ? 1d

AllDebooks @mcctrish No, me too. It's a bit ick, proposing when she's scared and vulnerable. 1d

willaful He's hopped up on heroic goofballs. 21h

Crinoline_Laphroaig @willaful 😆 20h

lil1inblue @mcctrish No. No, you're not. I actually said "What the F#$k" aloud. Who proposes while being held hostage after a suspicious death?!?!?! What is happening in this book! ? 15h

mcctrish @lil1inblue @AllDebooks it‘s bonkers! 6h

AllDebooks @lil1inblue 😂😂 imagine retelling the proposal story years later. 'Was it romantic?' 'Nah, bit scary and stabby, tbh' 😅🫣😅 5h

Ruthiella So far this is like no other Golden Age mystery I have read. It‘s kinda wild. 2d

lil1inblue @Ruthiella So wild. I have no idea what to expect! 2d

eeclayton @Ruthiella @lil1inblue I agree, each chapter is quite random. I wonder when things will start to make sense 😂 2d

Bookwormjillk @ruthiella @lil1inblue @eeclayton so wild and random. 2d

mcctrish @Ruthiella @lil1inblue @eeclayton @Bookwormjillk this story is bonkers!!! I legit say “what on earth is going on?” I assume they want the wallet that been remodeled ? The lining cut out but what else of significance hasn‘t been shared with us 2d

Daisey So random and entertaining! 2d

Death at the Sign of the Rook: A Novel | Kate Atkinson

pick

It's a bit of a slow start, but once it finds its groove, it really flies. I would say this one was the most humorous of the Brodie series, the Murder Mystery theatrics made for a hilarious farce. And always happy to see Reggie and the welcome (but underutilized) return of Louise Monroe.

Thank you to @CarolynM for inspiring this year's read through of the Jackson Brodie series. It's been a pleasure to catch up and I can't wait for more!

CarolynM Glad you enjoyed😊 This one is definitely the funniest. It made me laugh a lot. 3d

LeslieO I ❤️ Jackson Brodie! 3d
