#Eastercrime

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.

TheSpineView As long as the murder spree is just fiction it works. You know it is a good week when you don't have to hide a body.🤣🤣🤣 9mo

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.

The Thin Man | Dashiell Hammett

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

Leftcoastzen Yay! 2y
dabbe Love both of these! Have you seen the movies? They're incredible, too! 😊 2y
Leniverse @dabbe I have a box set of all the movies and have watched them multiple times. 😃 2y
SamAnne I can‘t watch those movies without driniking cocktails at the same time. 2y
Leniverse @SamAnne I know! 😂 The censor board wasn't all wrong when they thought the drinking in the movies was a bad influence. 🍸 2y

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

rabbitprincess Yeah, Book Morse is rather unpleasant. I don‘t mind Morse the show, but I LOVE Endeavour 😍 2y

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.

dabbe I love Dashiell Hammett! The first two Thin Man movies are among my top faves as well! 💜 2y
Leniverse @dabbe It's honestly a bit embarrassing that I haven't read them yet! 2y
dabbe @Leniverse With a bazillion crime books out there? No need to be embarrassed at all! Enjoy them! 🤗 2y
