#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Ch.11-15: the more we learn about the victim Draco, the more he turns out to have been a really rotten guy. An altercation from 24 years ago is revealed and as Eve digs, she may have found more unsettling information about Draco and his last lover Carly. Secrets never stay buried. And this one is a real killer. Meanwhile, Roarke gives Mcnab dating advice to woo Peabody, and Eve tries to woo Roarke with a romantic dinner

LiseWorks I absolutely loved Eve's attempt to woo Roarke. It was really romantic, and the surprise on Roarke nearly killed her effort. I'm so glad it worked out. 22h
Librarybelle Me too, @LiseWorks ! It was such a charming interlude in the story! 22h
TheAromaofBooks I loved that part of Roarke's advice was to contrast rather than compete with the other guy, i.e. be yourself. McNabb and Peabody are so freaking cute together. 6h

Mid-month Checkin

I thought reading Witness in Death would cover B4 and I‘d have a double bingo but I forgot I made I1 an #IDLR square so that won‘t work 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣🤣

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Ch.6-10: Eve has a very interesting cast of characters to deal with - some of whom hated the deceased. We find out the victim was pretty much an a—hole and a sexual deviant (poor Nadine). He had a tape of her that if it got out would be pretty bad. What was he planning to do with it? Was that why he called her for dinner? Or was it just to discuss old times? ⬇️

StayCurious Then the newest victim, made to look a suicide - good thing Eve‘s not easily fooled. What do we think of Charles and Peabody‘s platonic relationship? I hope Eve stays out of it. But if McNabb finds out, will he be relieved or smug? (edited) 1w
Librarybelle I‘m really enjoying this one! It‘s a fun way to craft a mystery. As for Peabody‘s triangle—I wonder how this is going to go! 1w
TheAromaofBooks Eve palming Nadine off for the makeover made me laugh 😂 1w

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Ch.1-5: All the world‘s a stage…we‘re thrust into the world of the theatre and the actors that live and breathe it. A man is killed in front of Eve and 3000 other people and the question is not who did the actual deed but who switched out the prop knife with a real one. The victim is much hated so there seem to be a lot of motives. ⬇️

StayCurious And who happens to hold a grudge over the victim for a past slight-Nadine Furst - she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and the real killer may use that to his advantage. This one is set to become dramatic, folks. 2w
LiseWorks Yes, and of course, Roarke is involved. 2w
TheAromaofBooks The Nadine angle is a fun one. And I'm so rooting for McNab + Peabody 😂 2w

repost for @StayCurious:

#inDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Happy soon to be January! We‘re on to book 10 of our series and we‘ll keep to our same reading pace with a check in each Sunday. I believe there are 22 chapters in this book so in the final week we‘ll finish off with 7 chapters. If you want to be taken off the main tag list please let me know. Looking forward to 2025 with you (hard to believe that‘s sort of close to when our books take place!)

Cannot BELIEVE I am working on a reading journal for ***2025*** That's not a real date!!!! @PuddleJumper is responsible for most of my challenges this year, although @lauredhel is also doing some work 😂 This year: #ISpyBingo #100YearsofBooks (and finishing @Librarybelle 's #192025 ), #Pantone2025 #Roll100 #GottaCatchEmAll and #BookChain

Not pictured - #ReadtheUSA #WickedWords @AsYouWish #FourFoursin25 @lauredhel #FictionalTraveler @julieclair

BookishMadHatter I've started on my 2025 book journal too, but I'm scaling it back a little this year. I find I have to use a bunder because if I run out of space and need to split a section in a bound journal my poor brain has a meltdown and I end up having to start all over. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @BookishMadHatter - I feel that!! For the last couple of years I've used a quad-lined composition book. Because it's sewn, I can add lots of washi tape and other pieces of paper taped in and it just gets fatter without falling apart 😂 All my ongoing, year-long challenges are in the front. Then I skip to the second half of the notebook and create my monthly #BookSpinBingo lists as I go along, plus any short-term readathons or challenges. 1mo

Gissy Amazing🤩👌 Well I can say I also started to organize my reading goals…🤔I chose which journal and reading Planner I‘m going to use😜it is a start😂😂😂 1mo
TheAromaofBooks @Gissy - It's all about finding a system that works for you!!! I loooooove tracking things 😂 So I use a spreadsheet plus my notebook!!! I also get these really inexpensive book logs from Amazon that I love because it means every book I read ends up with a reference number. I started using them several years ago and I'm almost done with my 14th volume!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1695365623 1mo

Librarybelle Great, @Lizpixie ! Welcome! 3w
janeycanuck Oh, I failed miserably on the R2 version and I've been meaning to get back in. I think I fell off somewhere around 1935. Could I be added to the tag list? I'll probably participate only lightly for the titles I've already read and jump in more when R3 syncs up to where I am. Thanks!! 3w
Librarybelle Yes, @janeycanuck ! Welcome! 3w
StayCurious I think our next #IDLR book has a Christie flare to it @Librarybelle so should be fun! 3w
Librarybelle That‘s so cool, @StayCurious !! 3w

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Ch.16-22/Review - wow the last few chapters of this book whirled by as it all came crashing together. I knew the two cases had to be linked somehow - did everyone click on to the evil Mrs.Branson? What a conniving psycho! Poor Zeke. I wonder if he‘ll recover from this. And will Peabody give McNabb a chance in the romance department? I‘m eager to read more.

StayCurious I enjoyed this instalment- it was heavy at times (very high body count and sad that we lost Malloy) but also showed how smart Eve is to have put it all together. She really showed her skills this time. We‘ll be reading Witness in Death next, but I think because of the busy holiday season, we‘ll take a break and resume in January. We really hope you‘ll continue with us in our In Death journey! See you soon! 2mo

LiseWorks I thought I was in a spy movie with the last chapters. Lol, yes, hope to see everyone in January 2mo
TheAromaofBooks I honestly didn't suspect Clarissa, but it all made sense once Eve pointed it out. I am LOVING this series and will definitely be back for more next year!!! 2mo
ShananigansReads I didn‘t see her coming either. I love this series. Can‘t wait til January to dive back in. 2mo
BookmarkTavern Looks exciting! 2mo
Librarybelle Just finished, and the ending. Wow! Another good one in the series. See everyone in January!! 1mo
