This was a quirky, quick read - just what the doctor ordered. I enjoyed some of the characters‘ stories more than others, there was one I skipped after 3 pages because I knew my blood pressure was rising from the stress the character was facing 😵💫😵💫😵💫 Overall though, a pick with an astrisk that it will not be everyone‘s cup of tea ☕️🧋🫖
pickJournalist Kostyuchenko is also a lesbian, apparently giving her government multiple reasons to target her. Yet here she is unafraid to show what truly happens on the ground in Russia while showing a deep love for her country and its people. This is searing and tough to read but excellent.

pickI did manage to work out the baddie in this one (which is very rare for me to do), and yes, I like this series too!

pickSome of the most unflinching writing I‘ve ever read. And that last line is a gut punch. (Pictured my old метро stop)
pickI listened to this book and there are so many passages I wish I could go back and read. Everyone needs this book. Having the author narrate on the audio was an added bonus, and I have not gotten Vargas‘s story out of my head all week.
so-soToo many uninteresting sections and too many cliches for this to be a pick. I really did want to like it because I have liked McDermid‘s writing in the past, but this just didn‘t do it for me. #audiowalk
