lauralippman.bsky.social currently reading his AmericanSky, which is masterful, but ordered this other book with a Baltimore cop, Devlin Rourke. Any familiarity?? Thought you best one to ask to be honest.
@sohopress.bsky.social really enjoying Eli Cranor’s Mississippi Blue 42. But was shocked by this apparent proofreading error—hard to miss.
Anther compelling Charles Lenox mystery from Charles Finch. Leigh, Lenox’s school friend, is a great addition, and Dallington is easy to root for.
@victorsuth.bsky.social retired English teacher and crime fiction lover, I absolutely recommend Hollow Spaces, a compelling story with themes of sibling rivalry, infidelity, and sins of the father to name a few. The NYC setting is a bonus, and the dual timeline works well. I couldn’t put it down.
@mysteriousbookshop.com I loved this debut mystery that celebrates NYC, Sri Lankan immigrants and citizens, strong women, family bonds, and taxi drivers.
@sjrozan.bsky.social I really enjoyed the newest Chin and Smith novel, and the NYC setting continues to play a vital role. And a shout out to nurses is always a welcome addition. Lydia and Bill are an easy to root for team—like the Knicks.
@poisonedpenbooks.bsky.social New to Con Lehane and I enjoyed his new detective/historical novel with a protagonist easy to root for. New York City in 1950 as the setting was a bonus.
@charlesfinch.bsky.social The hits just keep on coming. As usual, the crime in question kept me interested, but I really liked getting to know a small town in England and its inhabitants.
@charlesfinch.bsky.social just finished the fourth in the series and my eighth overall. Charles Lenox and his friends are so easy to root for, and the mysteries/riddles continue to be challenging. At the same time Charles wrestles with class differences and Parliament’s priorities.
@charlesfinch.bsky.social just finished third Charles Lenox novel and am starting A Stranger in Mayfair. Charles is easy to root for and the snippets of history and British vocabulary are a plus. To speak plainly, I love this series.
@charlesfinch.bsky.social I’m a big mystery fan and retired English teacher, and I’m now reading the third prequel to your Charles Lenox mystery series. Just so you know, I love the books, and Mr. Lenox is really easy to root for. Keep them coming.
@lauralippman.bsky.social love the Wonder Pets allusion in Hush Hush. I’m an older dad who loved the Rat Pack episode. Can also identify with home with “always something somewhere that needed to be put away. “
Happy Labor Day from me and Licorice.I am grateful for having spent my teaching career as a member of a union.So many Americans have pensions and excellent healthcare because of unions—the middle class is a consequence of the union movement.The Gilded Age is only fun as a tv show, not real life
@stephenking.bsky.social another great crime novel, it’s very easy to root for Holly, and the current issues broached ring true.
@tracyc1.bsky.social Licorice +I really loved the 3rd Harriet Foster novel-ECHO-a story about past events now haunting the present, with revenge + sins of the father as major motifs.Harri and her colleagues are easy to root for. Please keep them coming to help us all get through the next four years.
