pickI like a good James Patterson when I want a light mystery to read. These three new detectives may be a good start to a good series from him. They aren‘t Alex Cross but they have background stories that made this book enjoyable to read…did they solve 4 mysteries that quick? I don‘t care, I liked it.🥸
This one‘s a little obvious, but it‘s a classic for a reason! #train #storysettings

pickBk3 of May is finished. I did decide to go back and reread the DCI Banks series, all 28 of them! This is bk1, written in 1987 it‘s a bit dated of course(telephone boxes, cassette tapes & questionable fashion😋)but the story still stands up. Banks is new in Eastvale, a town in the Yorkshire Dales, when 3 things happen, breakins by two teens, a peeping Tom & the murder of an old woman. Working as an incomer creates some challenges. #SeriesLove2024👇
“They say that reading will attract the spirit of sleep. Let me read a while, perhaps this book will help me pass the time, or else bore me to such an extent that I shall fall asleep.”
"In the end, as a general rule, no criminal escapes the laws of the land."
If only this were true!
Judge Dee has a number of legal recourses not available to the modern judiciary. Were he presiding over the trial of D. Trump, that fellow would certainly have had 100 stokes of the heavy bamboo for lack of respect, and probably the thumb screws for lying!

It‘s a rainy day here today and I‘ve read half of this book in one gulp. 😆
I‘m just starting this. It follows 2 timelines; present day when detective May finds out his partner, Bryant, has been killed and 1940 when they met during the war when May joined Bryant in the Peculiar Crimes Unit in London during the Blitz. The details of wartime London feel genuine, with commonplace observations and not like Fowler did exhaustive research on it. Liking it so far
pickI am enjoying this series!!! I love how the series is going. Love the characters!! I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
