Nor surprise that I liked this book since I stacked it from @vivastory review and several other Litsy friends with similar tastes also like it. Jan and I decided on two books for our joint read (my pick this month) and since I couldn‘t decide o picked two. This is a short and quick read with some good twists and turns. I generally love Japanese literature (Japan is at the top of my travel list) and this was no exception.

Finally starting to get a little strength back after several crazy draining weeks causing a major flare. But I‘m still trying to spend most of my time in bed so I don‘t overdo it and end up right back where I started. Luckily kitty and Miss Marple are helping me out. This is one of the most all consuming stories I‘ve picked up in months! Just read 100 pages straight through without even noticing!

batsy I really like this Christie. Both the Joan Hickson and Geraldine McEwan adaptations are really fun, too. 4h
IndoorDame @batsy nice! I‘ll have to check them out when I finish the book! 4h

🤓📚Second instalment of Bosch & I loved it!

GHABI4ROSES Yessss read that right after the first one! Just started the electric version of Gods of Guilt! Totally out of series order. I am back to listening to one (Connelly) and reading the other (Grisham). What a damn nerd love you and @Andrew65 5h

CatLass007 @GHABI4ROSES I just can‘t bring myself to read a series out of order. I‘ve been told that doesn‘t matter with Bosch but I just can‘t. Next up for me is Concrete Blonde. A special edition of The Black Echo was free on Audible for a while last year. It‘s narrated by Titus Welliver and includes a conversation between Welliver and Connelly. That conversation makes buying the book, even if you already have it with Dick Hill, completely worth it. 2h
TheSpineView Well done! 2h

Monster: My True Story | Aileen Wuornos, Christopher Berry-Dee
post image
Pickpick

⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the worst, and honestly creepiest, covers I‘ve ever seen. Been reading about this broad topic a lot lately, and never knew Aileen‘s story beyond the sex worker piece, so it was time. Her tumultuous upbringing was truly horrific, giving her zero chance at a stable adulthood. Still not an excuse for murdering 7 men. I could buy self defense once, maybe twice, but every time? Honey, please. Unsurprisingly, Wuornos had many diagnoses.

bookaholic1 The movie is good too 1d
britt_brooke @bookaholic1 I‘ve never seen it, but may have to watch finally. 1d
bookaholic1 They did a good job with the movie and the model that played her 24h
Hooked_on_books That cover is disturbingly brilliant. 14h

#ColdAsTheGrave #JamesOswald #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024 #May2024

Her mummified body is hidden in the dark corner of a basement room, a room which seems to have been left untouched for decades. A room which feels as cold as the grave.

EadieB
As a rowdy demonstration makes its slow and vocal way along Edinburgh's Royal Mile, Detective Chief Inspector Tony McLean's team are on stand-by for any trouble. The newly promoted McLean is distracted, inexplicably drawn to a dead-end mews street... and a door, slightly ajar, which leads to this poor girl's final resting place.
1d
EadieB
But how long has she been there, in her sleep of death? The answers are far from what McLean or anyone else could expect. The truth far more chilling than a simple cold case...
This is the 9th book of the series. It is a cold case of a mummified girl with plenty of twists, turns and supernatural elements.
1d
EadieB It is a fast-paced page turner of refugees and how they are treated. Tony is promoted to Chief Inspector which doesn‘t allow time on the street but Tony decides to investigate anyway. It has great characters and plot that has pushed Tony and Emma to their limits as Tony seems to get lost in his job and forgets to pay attention to Emma. Madame Rose and Mrs. Saifre return to the story. It is one dark and gritty book that you just have to read. 1d

OutsmartYourShelf
The Big Four (Poirot) | Agatha Christie
post image
Pickpick

Hastings returns from South America to see his old friend but arrives to find Poirot in the midst of packing. Poirot is about to leave for overseas on a case, but plans change when they both become embroiled in the latest scheme masterminded by a group called 'The Big Four'.

This book is a series of short stories arranged into a narrative which revolves around 'The Big Four'. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Chases, set-ups, disguises, misdirection, & Hastings going undercover all feature. I found it a little bit of a let-down after 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' & some reviews said it was rather over the top & ridiculous, but I found that I enjoyed reading it. Hastings was not quite as irritating as usual although he still can't help doubting Poirot's methods. 1d
OutsmartYourShelf Overall it was action-packed for an Agatha Christie book. Not sure I can quite envisage the famously rotund Poirot climbing down ivy on the side of a house though! 4🌟
