Past Lying: A Karen Pirie Novel (Karen Pirie… Tekijä: Val McDermid
Love this character. It was intense to relive the early days of 2020 lockdown, so that's something to know going in. Karen, though -- I love how she knows/finds her own mind. I love how she's gathering a solid crew of investigators. I love how she proceeds come hell or high water. I wish she had less aggro from the boss, and I'm hopeful for that turn about in the future. I think Daisy will likely end up to be trouble, but I'm interested to see how that plays out. Emotionally taxing, but a great story.… (lisätietoja)
Liked the interstitials about the bounty better than the book itself, no real surprises, nothing that made you rush from page to page. I didn't like the implications about wordsworth, so perhaps that tainted it on me.
This was a Barnes & Noble Free Fridays selection back in September that I've just got around to reading. While it is book 7 in the series, the author provides enough back story that it's very easy to follow along. I love her writing style as well as the characters in the book. I would definitely be interested in going back and reading the previous 6 books in this series.
