It was a so-so mystery . . .

Kind of repetitive . . .

A little drawn out . . .

But at least it was long!

Whenever my wife and I are complaining about something, we like to end by saying "but at least it was long". It fit in quite well here . . . because it was indeed long!

But, my wife did like this book, so there is that!😁


Alondra Miller That was so wrong... damn; and I loved this book. 😂

Joe Tana French's debut novel. I liked it more than you, Matthew, but she gets stronger with each successive book.

Camden Johnson Currently reading this one right now! Hopefully I'll enjoy it

My wife has loved them all, so I will likely try again. The book kind of reminded me of Galbraith (Rowling) and those have grown on me after a clunky start, so I have high hopes for improvement!

I hope so - it does look like the majority of the people have!

Eric Smith I had just got done watching the first season of Hinterland when I read this and I had a heck of a time not picturing the characters from that show it was so similar. Maybe that’s why I enjoyed it so much! But like grandpa always said, “ If everyone liked the same things, everyone would be after your grandma.” 😂

HAHAHAHAHA! Very wise words! :)

Pat Oh dear Matthew, very funny. I loved this book, have read it twice and that doesn't happen often.

I had high hopes! Oh well 😁. I still think I will try the next one.

Glad you liked it!


message 19: by Carol (new)

Carol I've been hesitant about this one and wonder if I'd feel the same. And it's long...oh my!


Matthew Carol wrote: "I've been hesitant about this one and wonder if I'd feel the same. And it's long...oh my!"

Yeah, hard to say. I seem to be in the minority of not liking it, so it may be right up your alley.


Matthew On a positive note - my wife is many books deep into this series and loves it. She talks about it all the time and is excited they are making a show about it. Having her as an influence in my life means I will probably try more of them and I am excited to hear that people think it gets better!


Marla The show is good but jumps around a lot between the first 2 books. My husband didn’t read the books but is enjoying the show.

Good to know! I will have to make sure to read book two before trying the show.
