Welcome to Litsy!

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 18: Sorry for the quick turnaround on this one but January is nearly upon us and what better way to start the year than with Eve and Roarke? We‘re on to Book 18 to start off 2026 - not bad considering we‘ve taken a few brief hiatus. Thank you to those who are still reading along; if you‘d like to be removed from the main tag list please let us know.

#InDeathLongReadathon @StayCurious Thanks for being my co-host..
This is book 17.5 book in the series containing 2 books. It was different. A case that was never solved ends up in Eve Dallas lap years later. We see characters grow as well both in the 1st and 2nd half of the book. I enjoyed this month's book in the series very much. #Read2025 @DieAReader

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 17.5: The novels Hot Rocks and Big Jack, put together in Remember When, made a great pairing. I liked these two shorter novels. I liked the trouble from the past, then the solving and closing the case with Dallas in 2059. By far the best part was Peabody establishing her detective moves and finding her groove with looking the part. These books were worth the read.⬇️

Solid police procedural thriller - set in a fictional future version of NYC. I haven‘t read anything else in this In Death universe and this is book #58 - so clearly a lot of character connection that I arguably missed not reading the others, but the author does a decent job of giving you the gist even if you‘re coming in cold. I definitely walked away enjoying Eve…and hunky Roarke.

It gave me The Closer vibes. 🥹 #AuthorAMonth

I gave up this series about 10 years ago & there are around 20 new books in it. 😳 For #AuthorAMonth I picked up where I left off. It's a good, readable story of but I can't say I can really get behind a cop heroine and billionaire hero these days. Throw in a lot of sexual violence and a nasty prison rape comment and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to catch up with the missing 20 plus however many new ones there are since I started that sentence.

#IDLR #InDeathLongReadalong Book 17.5 Ch.1-8: we‘re back in 2059 with Eve, Roarke, and Eve‘s new partner Peabody. It is interesting seeing the changing dynamic between the two. It‘s interesting seeing Peabody without her uniform! I think she‘s fitting into her new role well and it‘s great to see. It‘s cool how this book aligns with the previous story, and how some diamonds were never recovered. Are we thinking the killer is Crew‘s grandson? ⬇️

Slow Sunday morning made complete with iced (La Colombe Peppermint Mocha!) latte in bed and attempting to finish my #AuthorAMonth pick. 🙌🏻

“Ironman, but not like Ripken.“ Her eyes narrowed. “Is this porn?“

He laughed. “It isn't, no.“

“Ironman sounds suspicious to me. What are the others?“

“There's Thor, the Hulk,“ he began.

“Sounds like porn.“

#authoramonth complete. I was on the fence about reading any Nora Roberts after not enjoying one of her fantasy series, but decided I'd give one of her mysteries a try.

Unfortunately, still not a fan. The main murder mystery was interesting. Everything else...not so much. A theme in the few books I've read by her is lazy world building, and that continued with this book set in future times.

Also, why is this cover so terrible?
