pickHeard Esther on the radio . It was from the Sydney Writers festival , not recent I don‘t think. I didn‘t realise her first book was Hideous Kinky . I saw the movie with Kate Winslett and loved it. This book is about 3 generations of women. I found it difficult at first to keep track of the characters as they had alternating chapters but finally got the hang of it. It all comes together nicely. Loved it.
pickLovely days reading and finished this one 😁
I‘m working my way through Moss‘s back catalogue that I haven‘t read.
There‘s not much of a plot, but beautiful, insightful writing as always.
I‘m on a day reading retreat in a hotel in Liverpool 😁

My April #bookspin. Every month I look forward to the numbers and every month I make a fun list, but I haven‘t been posting them. Litsy is a wonderful refuge in these turbulent times; it‘s always good to check in. Getting ready to start the tagged book!
pickI love reading these classic crime stories and this was a solid one. I listed to the audiobook and it was a well do “who done it“
so-soHarry Devlin's promiscuous ex-wife, Liz, is murdered in an alley. It seems every secondary character in the book has a reason to want Liz dead. Since Harry is still in love with Liz, he sets out to find the murderer. The plot plods along as Harry slowly eliminates suspects. There's a bit of romance between Harry and his neighbor, Brenda Rixton.
This is the first book in a series about Harry Devlin. I'll try the next book and see.
