I'm already 51 pages into All the Lonely People by Martin Edwards, despite all the books I already have started. 🙄😆

Really enjoyed this memoir of a couple who lose everything that matters (their house, his health) except each other. They walk the southwest coast of England when they nowhere else to go or nothing to do. I am going to read the sequel immediately and look forward to the movie coming out based on the book.

I was looking forward to this one and am a little disappointed by it. It tells the story of a series of murders but the organization isn‘t great, making it disjointed. It also tells it to some degree from a social justice lens, which I loved, but I think it would have been better if that was the focus and the murders and attitudes around them were illustrative. #WPNF25

Poe & me & Lady Georgianna this afternoon. Another library find. #serieslove2025

Always happy to read a new Agatha Raisin story! It‘s been awhile. While I will always miss M.C. Beaton, I do think the new author has a decent grasp of the characters. It‘s a little different but not enough to make me stop reading. Very happy Penelope Keith narrated the audiobook. 4⭐️

Happy 😊 pancakes 🥞 day from the uk 🇬🇧 ☺️mollie moo and I with library 📚 pre orders - I‘m finding the peepshow fascinating 🧐 I wouldn‘t say I‘m enjoying it as the theme/ topic is just so terribly sad 😔 the casual misogyny and racism is making my blood 🩸 boil who the hell would want to live in the 50s let‘s pray 🙏 Wer not moving back towards these despicable attitudes

This was cheap on kindle so ended up buying it for #wpnf25. I found the writing really engaging. The way the subject matter was written about through a social commentary lens, aswell as the bits about the newspaper journalist Harry Procter, was done so well. You really get a sense of the time and place. There is no concrete conclusion when it comes to the murders & motives etc but the author has clearly done her research with this book.
