Raise your hand if you're absolutely loving this series! *raises all the hands* Despite vast stretches of this book leading to the comment "will they ever get off this boat?", I found this super enjoyable and I cannot get enough Temeraire in my life.
This was my second time reading this, and it was every bit as good as the first time, helped by the fact that I could not remember for the life of me what the resolution of the story was. This is probably one of my favourites of the novel-length Sherlock stories, because the whole narrative is just so good and so tight (and has none of the weird half-book-length flashbacks that some of the others have).
Straight onto my all-time favourites shelf this goes! I shouldn't have expected anything less from Brooks. Truth be told, I'd had this on my shelf for a long time and had completely forgotten about it. But you know what? I'm so glad I did, because that meant instead of reading it when I first bought it, I've now had the pleasure of reading this post-Covid.
Well, this was absolutely delightful. I was a little uncertain if this was going to live up to expectations based on the first few chapters, but I soon got into the rhythm of the writing and was swept away on what quickly became a wonderful adventure.
This was everything I've come to expect from Jesse Sutanto: funny, pacy and a damn good story.
Richard Osman does it again in this final instalment of the Thursday Murder Club. I was somewhat nervous going into this, because a final book means he could kill off whoever he wanted - and I was still feeling emotionally scarred from the rollercoaster that was book four.
Is there anything not to love about this? There's nothing better than a healthy dose of Sherlock Holmes bundled up together. I really enjoyed this collection of short stories - it was so much fun, despite every case being so short!
This little mystery has stuck with me since I turned the final page. I thought I liked it – thought it was fine – but the more I thought on it, the more I realised that this was a damn good read and very unique. I didn't just like it, I loved it.
This was very sweet and everything I've come to expect from Sarah Beth Durst. Having read The Spellshop, I picked this up in the expectation that this would be a great cosy read – something to really sink into and enjoy the magical atmosphere of; and I wasn't wrong.
I really shouldn't be at all surprised that yet another Matthew Reilly has crept onto my favourites list. I adored this, sordid moments and all. This is an atmospheric delight as we romp through history in the midst of a thrilling mystery.
