Welcome to Litsy!

I struggled to get into this at the start, the art world seemed rather impenetrable, filled with obnoxious, entitled people, mainly men. But then I realised that this is the whole point of the book and I ended up loving it almost* as much as I did Olga Dies Dreaming.

Anita is a rising star in the art world in 1985 when she is found dead. Raquel, a student of colour, feels out of her depth at Brown, until she meets an older very privileged ⬇️

1. I love both, but would probably go with spots if forced to choose.

2. My daughter & I are doing a read-aloud of the tagged book, which we borrowed from the library. ❤️ the Vanderbeekers ~ we‘re sad it‘s the final book in this series.

This was just ok. I will always love the wonderful cast of characters, however the mystery in this one was just a little dull. Also I am really over the house renovation side plot, can it be done already?! 3⭐️

This is my #bookspin, which I‘m already partially through before the spin (yay)! Hoping to read both this month. Thanks as always @TheAromaofBooks

I have a bit of a book hangover after So Thirsty and Clown in a Cornfield 3 before that.
I want to stay in the spooky season but I don‘t want slasher or black comedy right now.
Which of these two would you suggest?
Or go completely rogue and suggest a good spooky read.

This is #59 in the series. That I have not tired of this series is a testament to Nora Robert's skill at telling an entertaining story with interesting characters. While this was not one of my favorites, it was still an excellent mystery and probably a more realistic representation of the work of a detective (less action, more investigation). I always recommend you start at the beginning with “Naked in Death“ Thanks to Edelweiss+ for the ARC. 4/5

“And there I was, the reluctant nudist, punished to the maximum extend if the law, one ankle bracelet short of an orange jumpsuit.”

Instantly hooked. This book was just too quirky to let go of. Who knew a story that takes place almost exclusively inside an apartment building (with the exception of an act of “Deliberate Exposure”) could be so exciting.
