Welcome to Litsy!

You know I'm hard-up for light reading when I dig out the AC. I never noticed this racist aside before 😂

I actually finished a book, first one in days. This book has sat on my physical shelf for years so helping clear off my TBR
This was an overall enjoyable story, possibly a soft pick, but at times I felt it was overly convoluted & therefore the book was longer than it needed to be.
A few personal surprises for Bosch along the way. I find that whilst I enjoy the Bosch books it gets a bit boring with the runs in with Internal Affairs #SeriesLove2024

It‘s starting off kinda slow, but I know it will pick you up and I am so here for it! #currentlyreading #booksandlunch #cormoranstrike #detective 😊📚

Trigger warning: all the triggers. Name one, it's in there. As the title states it's really, really dark (I don't know what the German cover should express, tbh). Lehane is working on his characters in this one, sharpening them. But not only the human ones, but also the city all his books are set in: Boston. It's a strong book, well plotted and even if I might forget the story itself I won't forget all the feelings connected to it.

I‘m between a pick and a so so here. Yes the writing was excellent and for the most part she captured a lot of what I loved about Poirot. Which must have been a tough and daunting task. But the plot was all over the place with a not so satisfying ending. That said I‘m going to try The closed casket ( her second attempt) only because it‘s set in beautiful Clonakilty and I don‘t think Poirot ever made it to Ireland which could be interesting. 🥸

1. I‘m a planner, but definitely not to the last degree.
2. In the tagged book, Kinsey ends up going undercover in an auto insurance fraud ring. She‘s all set to meet with her contact and get all the inside information, but that meeting never happens. Instead she gets thrown into the situation prematurely and has to “wing it” not just to succeed but to survive.

A quick but satisfying SH tale. Read and discussed with the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes group.

The great thing about a Connelly book is that a bad guy get caught in the end.Renée Ballard continues to grow as a character, and her unsolved crime team gets a boost when Maddie Bosch joins the team part time.Connelly always describes in detail, neighborhoods in the L.A. area that adds interest to the story. I loved getting distracted from current events spending the weekend enjoying this book. Bosch plays a lesser though significant role as well
