From the creators of the podcast Criminalia, this book is part cocktail recipes and part look at the world‘s notorious murderers, thieves, spies, and infamous ne‘er-do-wells. It‘s quirky and fun, and each recipe has an alcoholic and a nonalcoholic version. I‘m not crafty enough to make them for just myself, but it was fun reading the recipes and the stories! #LitsyAToZ #LetterK

Ebook free. Works for the hard to get #letterK for #litsyatoz

3.5/4⭐️ (between very good and excellent)

I love the premise of this book and I flew through it, however I suspect I would have enjoyed it even more if I knew more about Japanese cuisine. The food descriptions meant nothing to me. The human stories resonated though.

Plot and Engagement: 4 (excellent) Character and Atmosphere: 3 (very good)

This 4th book in the series really focuses on Mma Makutsi, the assistant lady detective. She flexes her entrepreneurial muscles and her love life (or lack thereof) gets examined. Life continues on for Mma Ramotswe and her fiance Mr JLB Matekoni as he returns to work from his illness and they deal with a misbehaving Puso. Mma Ramotswe faces her first competitor in the detective business and she helps a businessman right past wrongs. ⬇️

I have been reading her Princes of Sin series, which is tangentially related, so aside from the fact that I have kind of spoilered myself & I‘m trying to reckon the Princes I know… I liked it, the worldbuilding is good, Emilia‘s depiction of grief was so visceral, Wrath… I‘m not sure about what‘s going on with his motives here -but 🥵. Too much happens at the end, &things that seemed like a big deal fizzled, plenty for the next 2 books to resolve.

This is a wintery novella that left me shaking my head🤦‍♀️A meteorologist predicts the storm of the century but no one will believe her. She needs data but her equipment is broken. She asks the local science teacher to help fix her computer. But as it starts to snow…they get distracted with each other. Forget about the incoming storm let‘s get it on! So ridiculous. The writing and story could have used some major work.

I really enjoyed this #AtoZReadathon challenge, just 4 away from a full set! I'll tag my reads in the comments. It's been a great month with some fantastic reads. Thank you for hosting @Texreader
