"NetGalley, please. If you say it’s a password‑protected PDF, don’t hand me an LCPL file I’ve never heard of that needs an app I don't have to, read this book. Spare me the NetGalley app - it was buggy last time - and the e‑reader in the browser took as long to open as downloading Thorium Reader app. This mystery had better be worth the hassle already involved. Moan over. The book does look ace" — Aug 28, 2026 09:21AM

"“Wasn’t he a serial killer?” McDermott asks suspiciously, then moans. “Don’t tell me he was another serial killer, Bateman. Not another serial killer.” “No, McDufus, he wasn’t a serial killer,” I say, turning back to Van Patten, but before continuing turn back to McDermott. “That really pisses me off.” “But you always bring them up,” McDermott complains. “And always in this casual, educational sort of way."" — Aug 19, 2026 09:00AM

Self-control isn’t a strength of mine. Dangle a hot piece of ass in front of me, and I might fuck the judgement out of her.
“Every night, I curl up with a woman who knows me and likes me anyway, and every night, you get to curl up beside a man who finds you as endlessly fascinating as you find your work.”

“In our countries, a man often took a wife before his beard was fully fledged. How much earlier then, did he take a serving girl? It was expected; very few men came to their marriage beds without having done so. Those who did were unlucky indeed: too weak to compel, too ugly to charm, and too poor to pay.”

“So, he agreed: I would be exiled, and fostered in another man’s kingdom. In exchange for my weight in gold, they would rear me to manhood. I would have no parents, no family name, no inheritance. In our day, death was preferable. But my father was a practical man. My weight in gold was less than the expense of the lavish funeral my death would have demanded.”
