Welcome to Litsy!

What a gorgeous Hawaiian mystery drama!

I‘ve been to Hawai‘i many times, but surprisingly I have never been to Kaua‘i. I was very eager to get a glimpse of the island through this book and it did not disappoint.

This book may be classified as a mystery, but it is so much more than that. It explores Hawaiian life, especially the family dynamics.

A great listen/page turner; one of the better ones in the series. Harry Bosch is involved in 2 intense cases. New evidence has come up in a cold case about a serial rapist, which puts his partner in danger. A private case has him looking for an heir for a multibillionaire.

Saturday morning reading 😊

In my mind I see Fergus beside me and hear a scream that I‘m now certain was my own.
Fergus‘s final confession might‘ve been another mind game.
Because . . . I think I was the one driving that night.

I am really enjoying this little YA series! Murder/missing people genre is not my go to genre but I‘ve been hooked on Pip and her sleuthing. I‘m looking forward to the next book. I love that the audio is a full narration production!

A bomb goes off on a British school tour bus in northern France and Chief Inspector (on leave) Ortley rushes to the scene, as his daughter is on the bus. I would term this a literary mystery, as it does have a central mystery but the heavy lifting here is the exploration of anti-Middle Eastern racism in British society. It‘s terrific.

I liked The Therapist more!

12 years ago Layla disappeared. Finn is haunted by this, as he was also accused of murdering. Now, he‘s set to marry her sister. But, what one could say is an odd event occurs which has Finn wondering if Layla has come back. The premise is good, but the characters are very unlikeable. They really deserve each other. 😂 I was also a bit annoyed by the past chapters in part 1, as Finn used “you,” addressing Layla. So-so.

Happy Friday everyone!! 🖤 🐾 🤍

I‘m reading the tagged and it‘s so good! Maybe I‘m out of my slump!
