We have this cute little Dog Bakery in Stockholm where they produce everything themselves and comes up with funny things like doggy beer and pupcakes.

I decided I needed a change of pace. My original pick was another mystery by LA Witt. But I’m going for a space military pick Liar's Waltz 😁

Most of LA Witt books that I like are her collaborations with other authors.

Gustaf | 1936 comments Oh i don’t need any extra books 😬 Doing double bingo, pass the parcel and this x)


message 267: by Wende (new)

Wende | 1741 comments I have world tour, this, and bingo. I am hoping to be able to double up on one


message 268: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 31763 comments Here is your next task!

Task 5 - 29. Read over 750 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.

Professions such as LEO, military or musicians are ok. Just don’t try to pass off a rancher and a chef as both being in the food industry - they are simply not close enough. Please include the selected profession in your completions post and to let me know how you know the book qualifies - title, precis, tags or lists, including links and any other necessary information. I need to know where to look to confirm your books. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

I am not sure I like Everett Larkin. He treats his husband terribly

Read 10/2/21

I like this book but did not love it. I did like the couple like you want to in a book. I think they were terrible to the husband. I am sure once he is no longer in the book I will enjoy this series more. It just felt wrong to me
3 stars

Review
Great mystery! The detective partnership, was like Holmes meeting his Watson. Larkin and Doyle were perfect foils working together. I really don’t want to give away the story, but on top of Larkin’s unusual memory, he has some serious PTSD. When I got to the end it was, “Wholly crap! Where’s the next book!”

Review: Eh, I liked the MC's well enough but I wasn't too invested in the story. The mystery/thriller plot was well done, but I figured out who the serial killer was the moment we met him.

Rating: 4 stars
Review: Poe sure does like picking extremely obscure conditions for their heroes to be suffering from! HSAM was very interesting. I liked Larkin, though, and how he expressed himself. I liked the way Doyle treated him and reacted to him. Like everyone else, I am not sure what the husband, Noah, did to enhance the story. Another roadblock for the two to get through to be together? I think I would have preferred to him to be an ex-husband. Love the teaser for the next book though.
