so-soThis was just ok. I will always love the wonderful cast of characters, however the mystery in this one was just a little dull. Also I am really over the house renovation side plot, can it be done already?! 3⭐️

#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR Ch.1-5: this one has an interesting start where Eve is called to a case where a man is dead and his lover/killer is awaiting the cops and ready to confess. At first we think this will be open and shut but it becomes more complex and there is the question of justice being served and what is the true motive. ⬇️
pickAnn Cleeves has rock solid craftsmanship. This was a very satisfying and well executed read. But where as the Vera books are often A's for me, I would rate this as a B. I think it is really interesting to have a character who is recovering from a intensely religious childhood and being shunned as a young adult. But he simply doesn't have the vividness of Vera. Still went on to read and enjoy the next two books in the series.
#InDeathLongReadalong #IDLR we‘re on to the 9th book in the series and this one sounds explosive! As with the last book there are 22 chapters. We‘ll start out with our usual 5 chapters a week, then finish with 7 chapters for the last week. We‘ll check in this month on Nov 10,17,24 and Dec 1, the next few Sundays. Please let me know if you want to be added or removed from the main tag list.

pickMy first Ann Cleeves mystery. I liked the remote island and the storm as backdrop for the story. I didn‘t guess who did it but found the ending of who and why a bit far-fetched. Overall, it works as a crime novel,especially now that fall is here -island,storm,rain- and I really liked the detective, Matthew Venn. It‘s definitely an entertaining story and great main character.
pickAnother great entry in the series! Eve really battled her emotions in this one, and the whole plot line was very dark and very sinister. On to the next! #InDeathLongReadalong
