Read (late as per usual) for @Mitch #goldenageofcrime buddy read in December. I think i needed to be a scholar of UK politics to even guess the killer, but i enjoyed the ride 🙃 somehow, the fact that politics was so divisive in the past as well as today is oddly... Comforting?

I genuinely enjoyed this book so much! I‘m surprised my Grandma did not read or recommend her when I was younger - this is an author we would both enjoy so much. The characters were great- the mystery was a reminder of how tricky people have always been. I want to read more by this author and called my son at college to tell him he needs to read it when he gets home. #goldenageofcrime

This was the #goldenageofcrime buddy read hosted by @Mitch for Feb. it was a solid mystery- but definitely problematic in terms of anti Semitic views and racial slurs. It was difficult to overlook, but as an adult reading it also kept thinking this is why Desantis in Florida is evil.

Crazeedi I keep meaning to read this author, I'm not sure which one to pick up first. I haven't read a book since December, but I somehow need to get into one that's keeps me engaged. 2y

Chrissyreadit @Crazeedi have you read Ambrose Parry? @Mitch recommended them and they were perfect to me! 2y

Crazeedi @Chrissyreadit no I haven't but I'll definitely check them out!! 2y

Vansa I'm reading this now!I found it annoying that Wimsey seemed so flip about everything and suddenly,the writer pulled the rug out.I really liked Bunter, interesting sidekick who gets a lot of airtime!I didn't much care for the entire PC Plod stereotype of the cop,and of course it's quite elitist.Im quite enjoying it though 2y
