Nice! This was my first read from this author! Looking forward to reading more of her work now for sure after loving The Marriage Portrait :) Is there another novel of Maggie's that you'd recommend?

Also, I finished another short novel, this one an update of - or response to - The Horror at Red Hook by H.P. Lovecraft:


The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle
Rating: 3 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Although The Horror at Red Hook is not one of Lovecraft's best stories, and it is brewing over with hateful xenophobia and racism, I would still recommend reading it first in order to fully appreciate La Valle's story.

In contrast a more recent and much more sucessful genre-bending scifi-police procedural.

The Marylebone Drop by Mick Herron

A little op within the MI5 / Slough House misfits. John Bachelor seemed like a more sad sack character than before. Well narrated and a clever story but not very humorous. But still it was appreciated for the backdrop of the Snow White ops and Lech's story.

[Woman Reading]

Finished the first Grishaverse trilogy -- Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo

I can see why Netflix has a televised adaptation. The books are good but I can see where Netflix might heighten the tension or character arcs.

Magic Tides by Ilona Andrews

I had no idea that the authors had planned a follow-up series for Kate Daniels, and I was really happy to see this. It delivered all of the humor and action that have distinguished the Kate Daniels series. And a sequel - Magic Claims - will be released this summer.
