[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For November so far:

Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers: Heavy on the cozy part of "cozy mystery." I did find it very enjoyable, though. Loved the characters and am craving a visit to a Chinese tea shop. Would recommend!

The Running Grave (latest in the Cormoran Strike series): Would have benefited so, so much from more editing. I did like it; regular readers should go ahead and pick it up.  I'm weary of stories with sexual violence toward women and hope Rowling picks another topic next time around.

Gideon the Ninth - Was a recommendation from this forum. It's definitely in the spirit of other books I love, but I was on the fence about this one. It had a whiff of Atlas Six/Atlas Paradox which was offputting. By the end, I was feeling very  uninspired to move on to the second book, and I think I'll skip it.

Mother-Daughter Murder Night: Not sure where I picked up this recommendation, but do not recommend. It's very poorly written. The bones of the story are good, though.  If Rowling had picked up this storyline and limited herself to 600 pages (rather than the Running Grave) it probably would have been one of my best reads of the year. [/quote]

I’ve never read the atlas books you mention but I will note that they came out very shortly after Gideon, so it’s very unlikely either author read the other’s work.  If they’re in a similar vein perhaps I should give them a try.[/quote]
