“Southern Cheap is, I’m gonna eat stale cookies while I serve you these fresh, warm buttered biscuits. Yankee Cheap is, I’ve got ten million dollars in the bank but I’m gonna cut off the thermostat during a blizzard and here’s my great-great-grandpa’s mothballed coat from the War of 1812 if you don’t have the character and fortitude to generate your own body heat.”

Girl, Forgotten (Andrea Oliver, #2) by Karin Slaughter

January 13, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

I meant to read this back in August when it came out, but I couldn’t make the timing work (I even read the first book in the series in prep, though I didn’t review it). I finally got around to it, and I really liked it! I’m definitely reading more Karin Slaughter books (these two books were my first of hers). You can read this book on its own if you don’t want to bother with reading the first Andrea Oliver book, Pieces of Her. […]

I don’t understand why they adapted this for TV

Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter

December 29, 2022 by thegirlwhogotoverit Leave a Comment

I honestly struggled to read this book.  I couldn’t even get myself to look down at it as a distraction when I was on the treadmill.  I just felt no connection to the characters, for at least 80% of the book. I’ve read a couple of Slaughter books before this and found them quite enjoyable, but the pacing of PoH is all over the shop.  We’re dropped into Andy’s life without consideration for the fact that just because her mother loves her, doesn’t mean a […]

I Hate Sara Linton, Part Infinity

Genesis by Karin Slaughter

October 19, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

On a dark, quiet night in the Georgian countryside, just outside of Atlanta, an older couple drives in silence, both lost in thought, when suddenly a nude woman runs into their car. Her injuries are horrific and can’t be explained by the car crash alone. But what is she doing alone in the forest at night? And why isn’t she wearing any clothes?  Genesis is the third book in Karin Slaughter’s Will Trent series. It’s also where she re-introduces characters from her Grant County series […]

September 25, 2022 by Zirza 1 Comment

The Perfect Crime (Helen Fields) *** Stephen Berry is having a rough night. Or a rough life, really; he cannot seem to get his bipolar disorder under control and his long-suffering girlfriend has left him. Desperate for some quiet, he intents to jump off a bridge, but a suicide counsellor who happens to be nearby intervenes. Stephen is quietly grateful, but then his body is found dead a few weeks later at the bottom of a tall tower. The cause of death seems like a […]

  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.Thanks! And yes, this is not a Malin book. It's very very good but I think your parental instincts would give you some trouble.
  • narfna on Cannonballing with an excellent but very intense mystery/thriller.I still love that book! This one is just as well written but different aims, I think.
