Welcome to Litsy!

Gooood morning, everyone!! Welcome to the first 2026 #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo reminder post!!! Time for another year of making lists, checking them twice, and then reading literally anything not on the list 😂 Or however it works best for you! 😁

Anyway, this is my first post with 2026's tag list, so if you have been missed please let me know!! I may have typed your name in wrong or missed it when you said you wanted to be added to the list. ⬇

I gave up this series about 10 years ago & there are around 20 new books in it. 😳 For #AuthorAMonth I picked up where I left off. It's a good, readable story of but I can't say I can really get behind a cop heroine and billionaire hero these days. Throw in a lot of sexual violence and a nasty prison rape comment and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to catch up with the missing 20 plus however many new ones there are since I started that sentence.

He laughed. “It isn't, no.“

“Ironman sounds suspicious to me. What are the others?“

I am enjoying this series about an Irish female detective in the met police. Maeve Kerrigan is an enjoyable character facing sexism while trying to investigate difficult crimes. In this her 2nd outing the murder of a sex offender suddenly appears to be a serial killer. The mystery quickly tales a tangent when an organised crime gang leader also takes the stage. Good read, role on book 3.

While this is the first book I have read in the Rev. Clare Ferguson/Russ Van Alstyne mystery series, I wasn't lost. I was lucky enough to get to read this early through Netgalley. I can tell you that even though this was the 10th book in the series, they don't have to be read in order.

Spencer-Fleming storytelling level is great. I was captivate at the first chapter. It's full of suspense and thrills. I felt like I knew who the ⬇️

Ann Cleeves is a must read author for me and this one did not disappoint. Detective Jimmy Perez has settle in Orkney with his partner and senior officer Willow Reeves. His idyllic life is disturbed when his oldest friend is found dead. As Jimmy and Willow investigate they find Jimmy may not have known the victim as well as he thought. Thanks to Macmillan and NetGalley for the ARC.
