LiseWorksI'm hoping they take Alice to a better place. I feel for Mark but he is learning from Shardlake. I don't really trust any of the brothers. And I'm cold because of the winter lol5mo
DeblovestoreadI don‘t have any predictions at this point, which I love. Mark is young and has much to learn. Alice is smart. I hope she is a character that continues through the series. Like@LiseWorks I find it diff to trust any of brothers.5mo
OutsmartYourShelfShardlake - interesting character. Mark Poer - annoying & too concerned with his love life. Brother Guy - bit of an enigma atm. Alice - no real personality yet, just there. Probably there as the 'romance' for MP. Cromwell - cartoonishly evil. Expected him to twirl his moustache (if he had had one).5mo

BookWrymNot started as 3 audio library books arrived at once hoping to catch up next week5mo
dabbe@LiseWorks I'm living vicariously through the cold right now! I also worry about poor Alice.5mo
dabbe@Deblovestoread The only bro I like (and perhaps trust) is Brother Guy. He seems to be a monk for all of the right reasons.5mo
AnneCecilieSince this is a reread, I only know which one didn‘t do it. I don‘t remember who did it. I find the characters interesting and I want to learn more about them.5mo
LibrarybelleI worry about Alice! No clue to the whodunnit part yet. I like Shardlake…he‘s tough, quick to temper, but very methodical. I couldn‘t help but think of qualities I saw in him from some of my favorite males leads in mystery—Inspector Gamache, Brunetti, Cormoran Strike, and even Inspector Rutledge.4mo
lil1inblueShardlake - I like how aspects of his character unfold throughout (so far). Mark - His increasing conflict with Shardlake is intriguing. I'm curious to see where it leads. Brother Guy - I like him, but I feel like there's a secret there. Alice - I'm curious to see what happens. Again it feels like there's more than meets the eye. Cromwell - Ick. 😂(edited) 4mo
MollyannaI like Shardlake. His insight and introspection are interesting. Mark to me seems to be the one with the most growth so far, even to the point that he feels comfortable with having some alternate ideas/theories to Shardlake. I like Brother Guy and Alice but feel there is something lurking “off stage” that has to do with one or the other. Cromwell seems like a caricature.4mo
BookWrymShardlake as a hunchback is an interesting choice as main character. I like the limitations his condition puts on him physically while mentally he is right up there. He does seem@to take things rather personally. Mark Poer is not interesting me at the moment although I do like him as a foil to Shardlake. Brother Guy is my favourite monk. Alice astute and observant and Cromwell is the offstage villain. No idea yet whodunnit.4mo
dabbe@BookWrym I've read it before, and I can't remember whodunnit! It's like reading it for the 1st time. 🤩4mo
PageShifterI love how humane Shardlake feels. Even though I am still waiting when we start seeing his wisdom 😂 At this point the solutions seems to be far ahead. Mark is young but I feel he has a good heart. Brother Guy is still a bit strange to me. But I hope he isn't behind the murder. I don't think he would have told those things about belladonna if so. Alice feels somehow suspicious, I don't know if she is trustworthy. She might have secrets. Cromwell🤮2mo
PageShifter@OutsmartYourShelf I share your feelings about Alice. I would prefer her not being Mark's love interest2mo
PageShifterI read comments now and I am so happy that I wasn't the only one who has no idea whodunnit 😂😂 (I finally got the book from the library this week)2mo
dabbe@PageShifter YAY! Yep, none of us had a clue--and I've even read it before! What does that say about my attention span? 🥴2mo
