pickI 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).
Got done with my dissertation assignment early this morning and have some time to enjoy pleasure reading this afternoon. Definitely need to feel like I‘m somewhere else today…
pickThis was a reread for me. Over ten years has passed though, and I didn‘t remember much. I adore the characters of Holmes and Watson and enjoyed digging in with #NoPlaceLikeHolmes
pickAnother fantastic, layered, Swedish mystery featuring Detective Patrick Hedström and his sounding board of a wife, Erica Flack.
A reality TV show is in town. A young woman on its crew is beaten to death. Then a local woman is killed in a car crash under mysterious circumstances.Are these cases linked? Are there other similar unsolved cases across Sweden? #4of11. #serieslove2025
pickPublished in 1905, this collection of short stories brings back the legendary Sherlock Holmes, whose apparent death at the Reichenbach Falls in “The Final Problem“ had left fans in despair. In most stories, Doyle manages to recapture the magic that made Holmes a global sensation in the first place; however, some of Holmes's deductions rely on fortunate or improbable circumstances, straining the suspension of disbelief for more critical readers.

pickCompleted the last story and thus the full “Return” collection for #NoPlaceLikeHolmes . The stories are a mixed bag of suspense and ho-hum mysteries. In each, Holmes uses his deductive reasoning to solve the crime. Personally, I like the more suspenseful stories with a bit of murder (what does that say about me 😂).
Thanks for leading us through this collection, @dabbe and @Cuilin !
