Welcome to Litsy!

There is so much I like and enjoy about this series: the characters, the mystery, the books.

But Nora does so many really stupid things, I just want to scream at her.

So: glad I borrowed it from the library.

I finished another Poriot murder mystery. This time the point of view wasn‘t the one of Hastings, but the one of Katherine. She does have her own suspicions, even though she does not have all the information of Poirot. But in the end she comes to the same conclusion on her own - without Poirot. 😂

This was an interesting Miss Marple mystery. A string of hateful letters in a village lead to a suicide, but maybe it's a murder after all? I liked the main character Jerry Burton, who is new to small town life and shocked by the proceedings. He reminded me a bit of Poirot's Captain Hastings, eager to solve the mystery but a bit in over his head

Book 19 in the Hamish Macbeth series is a really good one. I had a hard time putting this down yesterday. As always, I‘d highly recommend this series along with the Agatha Raisin series if you enjoy cozy mysteries. 4.5⭐️

Trigger warning: all the triggers. Name one, it's in there. As the title states it's really, really dark (I don't know what the German cover should express, tbh). Lehane is working on his characters in this one, sharpening them. But not only the human ones, but also the city all his books are set in: Boston. It's a strong book, well plotted and even if I might forget the story itself I won't forget all the feelings connected to it.

Such twists and turns! I loved this so much! It‘s a must read!

I‘m between a pick and a so so here. Yes the writing was excellent and for the most part she captured a lot of what I loved about Poirot. Which must have been a tough and daunting task. But the plot was all over the place with a not so satisfying ending. That said I‘m going to try The closed casket ( her second attempt) only because it‘s set in beautiful Clonakilty and I don‘t think Poirot ever made it to Ireland which could be interesting. 🥸

1. I‘m a planner, but definitely not to the last degree.
2. In the tagged book, Kinsey ends up going undercover in an auto insurance fraud ring. She‘s all set to meet with her contact and get all the inside information, but that meeting never happens. Instead she gets thrown into the situation prematurely and has to “wing it” not just to succeed but to survive.

Book 18 of the Hamish Macbeth series down! I still miss the old narrator but I‘m slowly getting used to the new one. I enjoy this cozy series and all of the village drama. 4⭐️
