Kindle Unlimited: Postmortem, Patricia Cornwall

 

Postmortem introduces Dr Kay Scarpetta, the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond, Virginia. A series of brutal murders has the city on edge, and Scarpetta is tasked with uncovering the forensic clues that could reveal the killer. As she pieces together microscopic evidence, computer data, and behavioural patterns, she finds herself navigating office politics, media pressure, and a growing sense that the murderer might be closer than anyone realises. The novel blends forensic detail with psychological tension, setting the stage for the long-running Scarpetta series.

I enjoyed the book, although it was a bit scary for a night time read. The story was gripping, even if I occasionally had to retrace my steps to keep track of everything. 

3.8 / 5.

Libby Audiobook: The Spinning Heart, Donal Ryan

 

I love am Irish accent. This book had 21 character. Each chapter a different viewpoint. I would like to relisten to it again at some point. Battlefield to concentrate and keep track of it all. But the jist of it is good.

3.8/5

Libby Audiobook: Yellowface, Rebecca F. Kuang

 

The main character is thoroughly annoying, and that is part of the author’s skill. She keeps trying to win you over and justify her choices. Fraud is still fraud, no matter how prettily you package it. I kept thinking of Gen, my good friend in publishing, the entire time. The story feels remarkably apt for the world of authors and readers.

4/5

Libby Audiobook: A Short Walk through a Wide World, Douglas Westerbeke

 

I enjoyed listening to this book. Made me think of the Invisible Life of Addie La Rue.

Aubry is cursed and has to continuously move otherwise she becomes violently ill.

The ending was weird, and I had to Google the meaning. Still not 100% sure I get it.

3.8/5
