Welcome to Litsy!

2.25/4 ⭐️ (the lower end between ok and good)

Started with the audiobook but finished up with the kindle edition. Lord Wimsey is one to run on. What? The antisemitism and racial slurs make it hard to say I liked the book, but it I did enjoy the mystery and the wrap up. I might even give more Lord Wimsey books a try. I‘m glad this author was chosen for #authoramonth.

I‘m giving up on the audiobook. The narrator is very high-pitched and her accent is such that I often cannot understand her. So I slow her down and heavens that‘s just dreadful. So I‘m switching to the ebook. But Lord Wimsey is getting on my nerves with his long-winded irrelevant speeches and odd ways of speaking. “What?” I also detect a strongwhiff of anti-semitism. I‘ll make it to the end; it‘s short but not making a good start of it. ⬇️

The FMC was a bit bitchy to the MMC, but it turned out she had good reason. This ended up being really sweet! I could see this being a Netflix holiday movie.

I liked this, a research station in Antarctica is attacked because of a virus found in the permafrost, leaving the cook & a gruff (former military) scientist on the run through the frozen conditions
The romance was fun, the action& setting was interesting… but I didn‘t like the villain POV or care who was really behind it or any of the “black-ops” stuff.. could have just kept it a regular woman & regular-ish man in this tense situation.

I enjoyed the story and discussion with the #NancyDrewBR group. I'd read the 1937 edition and I love the cover. It did feel very dated, however. Another car runs into Nancy's, and it costs her only $5 to get the bumper repaired!

The local police have their hands full when a famous author‘s wife is found dead in what appears to be a ritual murder. Multiple murders later, it seems they are linked…someone is looking for and killing witches. But oddly they seem to have a role in their own murders. So for most of the book, the police are following this very logical conclusion…until it goes off the rails in an almost completely different t direction. Sadly this feels like 2 ⬇️

Love this
