Funny, good read🦩

Honest take: I think this was a seasonal pushed out read because a major loose end of the first book remains a loose end. It wasn‘t even addressed. But overall, a cozy mystery with a missing prize ram, a pensioner convinced someone is out to murder her (and they do!), and the hunt for the killer begins as the victims pile up. Chapman doesn‘t seem to stop with one death. Which has me wondering how large of a population is this village?!

Bk5 of May is done. The 3rd DCI Banks book, it‘s another very late 80s/early 90s setting. An anti nuclear demonstration in Eastvale erupts into a brawl between police & demonstrators. After the dust settles a dead officer appears to have been murdered. The first appearance of Dirty Dick Burgess after London CID is called in, making tensions escalate. Burgess immediately sets his sights on a young protester from a local commune. #SeriesLove2024👇

1. No… I take very good care of my books!
2. I read a ton of Sandra Brown at that age but nothing sticks out in my memory
3. There are several… Harry Potter, The Wishing Game, and Number the Stars just to name a few

Bk4 of May is done. The 2nd DCI Banks was better than the 1st, though still very much of the late 80s. Banks is called to the discovery of a body in Helmthorpe, a small village near Eastvale. A retired History professor has had his head bashed in & buried under a drystone wall. A complicated case is laid out with twists, turns & another murder thrown in. Really enjoyed this one again. #SeriesLove2024 #BacklistReadathon #ReadAway2024

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Bk2 of May is done! I‘m both happy to have finished a book but heartbroken that there will never be another DCI Banks novel. And the ending seemed very abrupt, like he was still writing it when he died, or was on the final draft. Don‘t get me wrong, it was a brilliant story set in two time periods, but it seemed like there should‘ve been another chapter at least! And I‘ll never get Annie‘s ending story or Winsomes or Banks!🥲 #SeriesLove2024
