Welcome to Litsy!

I might have been on a tiny little murder spree these past weeks, thanks to #EasterCrime. @Leniverse

My latest adventure took me to Regency London where Sebastian St. Cyr was on the hunt for the person who murdered a bishop. A case that revealed secrets that had been buried for decades.

Inspired by a real murder case.
A man who had it coming.
Two female suspects.
A supporting cast of bawds, bigots, and shocked relatives.
I found the first half a bit dull, (because you know what's coming and just get on with it already and what a shame the local Reverend didn't bite the dust too) but it then had twists and turns and a solid, if drawn out, ending.

And look what arrived today! It's the Goldsboro version! (See previous post) 💕

So which one do you all like best????

@Leniverse is encouraging us all to read crime this Easter as per Norwegian tradition so will get started right away 😜

Minimalist prose with snappy dialogue and ever so many cocktails. The Thin Man is narrated from Nick's POV, so it is in some ways different to the movie, but every bit as much fun. Return of the Thin Man is literally the movie scripts for film 2&3, so it doesn't read as well. The notes on the text were interesting though.

#EasterCrime

More fun on the telly.

Good prose, ridiculously contrived murder(s), and everybody's awful including Morse. And some parts really haven't aged very well.

#EasterCrime

Taking a break from the #WomensPrize to read some culturally mandated #EasterCrime

I'll probably start with the tagged book and its sequel even though they won't be much of a mystery as the movie adaptations are faves I have watched numerous times.

My #longlist reviews will recommence sometime next week.
