Three brilliant readings – what's been your favourite so far?

What a well behaved dog!

Hello everyone, thank you for joining us this evening!

Couldn’t really get into We Begin At The End but absolutely adored the other 2

The annoying name lead me to returning the library book without finishing chapter 1

Having DNF’d the earlier books I didn’t read We Begin at the End (I do have a copy and Noelle is making me consider reading it)

I have really been looking forward to reading The Redeemer

Oh I did finish it, and quickly too but I suppose Americana just isn’t my thing

Sarah’s book was a fantastic audible book to listen to and the Narrator was fabulous. Certainly one I have highly recommended to my Crime Cafe members group. Thanks for choosing such a great book.

Sarah is such a lovely woman and I can’t wait to read this, like Noelle I am not always drawn to historical fiction but a couple of recent reads have changed my mind!

Loved the characterisation and the historical side. I could see clearly see the characters

Clearly see the characters in my mind. Amazing plot.

Oh I’m going to look out for that podcast!

Only just started the last book so will review once read this. A great choice this month thanks to you all.

I loved the Redeemer. It made such a great look at some such relevant subjects within life and the pace was fantastic with short sharp chapters. A great quick read. Thanks to Victoria for dealing with such sensitive issues.

Sorry to have missed the discussion of The Redeemer. We were out walking the dogs and I thought I’d make it back in time for ‘Hear no evil’ and ‘The Redeemer’. I am definitely going to request a purchase of those two at the library. I didn’t like the idea of ‘We begin at the end’ hence me disappearing quicker than intended.
Will catch up tomorrow morning.

Hear no Evil

Me too Gordon Mcghie

Hello 📚☕

Hello!

I think I'm the only person who didn't love this book. It's a problem for me when foreign authors don't get the details of the American setting just right. It seems like it was written by someone who had an idealized fantasy of what America was/is rather than actual details about American life. I don't have a problem suspending disbelief if necessary, but I don't think we usually do that in a realism mystery.

loving this

Hello folks. Here at the coo’s tail as usual.

Looking forward to it
