pickThis book was a load of fun, with entertaining characters and loads of wry humor that I quite enjoyed. My overall rating was somewhat lowered by the ending - it felt like the red herrings got a bit out of control - seriously, how many people have secrets centered around this one spot?? - and one other issue I had I'll put as a spoiler below. But overall this was a great time and I'll definitely pick up the sequel.
so-soThis started off strong but got so annoying in the second half that I wished they'd all just jump off a cliff.
pick“All signs point to your murder.” Good, solid mystery with a likable protagonist. Good hook, slow middle and then a fast action-filled wrap-up at the end. Overall, very enjoyable!
Thank you @Sharpeipup for the recommendation. I will be reading some of your other suggestions!
so-soI tried not to compare this to Thursday Murder Club as I was reading but I couldn't help it. The humor and charm fell very short in this one and it dragged on too long. I somewhat liked the main character but otherwise I didn't find the characters endearing.
pickAnother fantastic read from Thomas King! Love this series. It‘s fascinating to me how Thumps is such a careful and deliberate person, yet the mystery is fast-paced and moves in leaps and bounds. Dragged reluctantly into another murder, Thumps is faced with ghosts from his past. It‘s a great mystery, with plenty of questions in the air, and just enough going on to keep you guessing without being frustrating. I‘ll keep on with Thumps for sure.
pickWow what a great book! Really keeps you guessing. It was a little slow at the start but then I couldn‘t put the book down.
About 25% into this novel and struggling. Every time I pick it up, I fall asleep. It‘s more about me than the book, I think, but I‘m still having a hard time keeping the characters straight.
My reading partner had a seizure at 4:30am, hence why I‘m falling asleep today. It‘s been 6 months since her last one. 😔 My brother‘s beloved pup died on Tuesday after a seizure, so my girl‘s this morning was especially scary. Rough day around here.
so-soFun, twisty murder mystery—it just never really grabbed hold of me and I found being in Pippa‘s head a little annoying. I definitely didn‘t see the ending coming and it all clicked together! I did love that the intro has her capstone project proposal and the teacher says “whatever you do, don‘t contact the families.” I immediately hoped she would contact the families and that‘s the very first thing that happens 😂
