I was a little unsure abt the idea of a prequel when I have travelled over 20 years in the Tom Torne series but this was a great page turner that explains a lot of the detective's back story. Set in 1996, as the country is gripped by the European championship, a little boy is snatched in a park under the eyes of the two mothers. As the plot unfolds, we learn of thornes dissolving marriage and how he met Phil Hendricks. Good read

I love how much this series utilizes the setting and the old traditions and beliefs and superstitions of the area. Another good entry to the series.

WYWD - a Quick Reads featuring Roy Grace.

PYD - 18 in the Roy Grace Series. Always enjoy these British Crime novels, this one about art theft and forgeries.

MITC - not as long as her previous novel and the formula remains the same. Romantic thriller.

TSID - Ingenious British crime novel no2 that's shaping to be a very good series.

Dead and Buried | Stephen Booth

Difficult entry for the series, with bad things happening to Cooper's life. As usual, the main 'character' is the setting. The moors and the Peak district front and center at the heart of the story.

I love this series. It is so atmospheric and pays so much attention to the landscape and personalities. Lots of odd characters, surprising twists, nicely written.

Kimzey I enjoyed this one on audio. Wishing more in this series were available on audio in the U.S. 1y
majkia @Kimzey oh agreed. I'd like the audio too. 1y

The Killing Habit | Mark Billingham

15th Thorne novel finds him on the trail of someone who is killing cats which as anticipated ramps up to a possible serial killer. Nicolas Tanner and he then investigate this as well as a drug gang killing possible witnesses. Usual very readable thriller with characters who are well established and enjoyable.

Another good read in the Erika Foster series. A girl who‘s been missing for ages is found - murdered. Erika is on it, but her own life is turned up side down in many ways. Good plot, great character development. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #serieslove2023

Andrew65 Another of the many good series out there. Well done 👏👏👏 2y

Want You Dead | Peter James

Mehso-so

All my brain has been able to handle this week and it was not a favorite. The action seemed really gratuitous (which I recognize is ironic given the shit I read) but this was really over the top. Also, Peter James is obviously a horny old man. Dude, write to Playboy or something. 😖

TrishB I must have read it, but can‘t remember a single thing about it. 2y
MicheleinPhilly @TrishB Bryce Laurent stalks and tortures his ex throughout pretty much the entirety of the book. Grace finally marries Cleo and Sandy shows up at the church but doesn‘t reveal herself. LOTS of talk of hard cocks and being inside of women and just general porny type stuff. 🙄 2y
TrishB Can‘t imagine why I‘ve forgotten it. 2y
Centique I really want to use “Dude, write to Playboy” in my real life. 😂 Perfect sentiment 🙌 2y
