A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows

November 2, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

CW: rape, of the violent sort, and the aftermath play a key role in this novel from the very beginning so reader beware. There’s also homophobia While this was not my thing, I have some latent fondness for it because it helped me make the comparison to A Taste of Gold and Iron which I liked quite a bit. All in all, it’s a book with some tonal/pacing/detail mismatches that could benefit from a firmer editorial hand. To reiterate, there’s this (for me) well trod habit of […]

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 […]

The Story the Torn Gown Told

The Sewing Girl's Tale: A Story of Crime and Consequences in Revolutionary America by John Wood Sweet

August 16, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

CBR 14 Bingo: Question Lanah Sawyer was questioned again and again in an effort to get at a truth she had already told. One evening, a teenage girl and a man who called himself a lawyer went for a walk on the Battery. But Lanah Sawyer refused to stay silent about what he had done to her – and charged Harry Bedlow with rape. I have heard of Lanah Sawyer before, briefly, though I cannot recall whether it was in history class or in Gail […]

Of Lies and Men

Girl, Forgotten by Karin Slaughter

June 22, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

On a balmy spring eve, eighteen year old Emily Vaughn zips herself into her prom dress with some difficulty, then walks over to her high school to confront the people she thought were her friends. It’s 1982 and Emily is about eight months pregnant. Reviled by her classmates, she is soon thrown out of the prom. Emily disappears on her way home; her dead body is found in a dumpster next morning.  Some forty years later, US Marshall Andrea Oliver, fresh off the academy, is […]

Worth your time, but maybe not the lingering headache

The Treatment by Mo Hayder

May 30, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

Crime fiction is an odd thing. Visit your average thriller-horror-Facebook group and you’ll regularly find people looking for books that portray the extremes of human behaviour. “The sicker the better”, as they put it. Weirdly, The Treatment by Mo Hayder is not one that pops up very often – possibly because it’s about 20 years old – but in all honesty, this book is intense. We didn’t believe in Trigger Warnings in 2022 but this book could do with a couple of them.  On a […]

Vir2ous if O4ly Long

NOS4A2 by Joe Hill

May 1, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

It’s the mid eighties, the land of Stranger Things nostalgia, and eight year old Victoria ‘Vic’ McQueen (aka The Brat) has just discovered something interesting: if she hops on her bike and cycles through to a certain spot in the woods by the river, a magic bridge will appear. Whenever something has been lost all Vic has to do is cross the bridge and she will end up where the lost object is. But something else is lost as well: across the country, young children […]

  • Bruce on I don’t get it.I liked the book when I first read it and I’m enjoying it again - no matter what you say
  • ingres77 on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.Oh, good! That sounds interesting, thanks.
  • Merryn on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.Yes, it's a discussion about the book, not an audiobook version of the book itself.
  • ingres77 on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.I think I saw that when I searched for Jane Austen podcasts. They don't read the book? Only discuss it?
  • Merryn on Trigger warning. Also, spoilers.Persuasion is my favourite. The most recent adaptation is not very accurate in tone or characterisation, and I wouldn't recommend to a new Austen reader....
