[quote=Anonymous]OP here, so far I've read 3 of the recommended books.

1) Thus Was Adonis Murdered (Sarah Caudwell)
Mini review: Overall liked, based on the writing I thought this book was set much earlier than it actually was (1980).  Story was pretty good, though the buildup to the 'whodunnit' could've been better executed.  Characterization was OK.  I'd read more of the series, but didn't love it enough to immediately rush back to the library.

2) The Rachel Incident (Caroline O'Donoghue)
Mini review: Decent read, got invested in the characters and story at least to some degree, though the plot is a bit thin.  I'm not a Sally Rooney fan and this book is kinda in that same genre (down to the setting in Ireland).

3) The Quiet Tenant (Clement Michallon)
Mini review: Pretty good thriller, I definitely got invested in the story.  Some aspects were reminiscent of a Lifetime movie, there were some definite plot holes and the characterizations of the secondary characters was nonexistent.  Still, I would recommend as an airplane read / if you're in the mood for a page-turner!   [/quote]
