This was much more violent than the usual cozy mysteries we read for our work book club, but it wasn‘t bad. It‘s frigid here this weekend so good timing for reading about Greenland.

I enjoyed it. An older woman on YT considered it one of her favorite police procedurals, so I gave it a try. This husband and wife writing team wrote a number of these types of books. #SwedishAuthors, #Budapest. I really liked the setting. This may be the first book I‘ve ever read set in Budapest (well, most of it was set there).
This was good but not Bullet Train or The Devotion of Suspect X good. An award winning Japanese locked room murder mystery, this book is about two friends who believe they can solve a 40 year old cold case that has long stumped the police as well as amateur detectives. All the clues are there & interestingly enough, the author interjects two notes within the text urging readers to try and solve the crime before the friends do. Entertaining read.

this one, and it's lined up for this year's reads - yeyyyy - and looking forward to it
I‘ve run away from home for the next couple days and brought the tagged book with me. I‘m a little late to #hyggehourreadathon because I was watching webinar with Heather Cox Richardson. I have a feeling that once I start reading I won‘t last five minutes before I fall asleep in this nice comfy bed.
So good—the blurbs on the cover are 100% correct. This book is ingenious, excellent, & elegant. I might also add well-crafted, tense, & compelling. There is also more than one surprise which upends everything & leaves you guessing. Great characters, emotional depth, & an intricate plot easily make this one of the best mysteries I‘ve read recently. The translation is excellent, very fluid, and this was a very enjoyable, engaging read.
I love watching the Will Trent series & enjoyed this book tremendously…. Was my first read by this author & will read more Will Trent books for sure!!
Hmm it's taking me longer than expected to finish it ...
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks of my December reads, the first of a series; the next two in the series are on this year‘s TBR list.

Loved the characters, great story and good artwork. Hated the tiny tiny writing when Walter talked.
