Just finished The Covenant of Water and now reading My Murder. So far I’m finding My Murder really interesting.

"An elderly lady is up to no good" by a Swedish author named Helen Tursten.
It's about -- well, it's about an elderly lady who is up to no good. And no one suspects her because she is elderly.
I thought it was awesome. It's a short book at just under 200 pages. The audio version is 3 hours long.
I plan to check out what else this author has written because I really liked this one. I see there is a sequel to the one I just read.

I tried reading this when it first came out years ago- I just could not get past the first few pages, are you finding it easy to read?

I saw it’s a show now, so I’d like to give it a try again

Sorry- forgot to mention plot. Domestic suspense. Takes place in NYC. The head of admissions in a ritzy private school and a parent are the main characters.

The Last Applicant. (Great so far.)

Tearing through the Bandit Queens. Saw it recommended here and really enjoying it. Feel like I’m learning a lot too.

Mater 2-10. Saw it one was of the NYT Best Books of the Year

Rereading: Five Twelths of Heaven by Melissa Scott. It’s one of the most unique sci fi books I’ve ever read and I like to revisit it every once and a while.

Also reading Louise Penny A Great Reckoning, (always happy to be transported to Three Pines) and Lizards Hold the Sun by Dani Trujillo. The latter has been pretty hyped in my reading circles, but I’m still struggling to get into it.

I love Louise Penny and Three Pines and its inhabitants, but after someone pointed out her habit of using incomplete sentences, I can't un see it in her books and start focusing on that versus getting lost in the story.

Loved Heaven and Earth Grocery Store

I've just started The Fiction Writer by Jillian Cantor. Goodreads describes it as "...a thriller that explores the boundaries of creative freedom and whose stories we have the right to tell." There's a connection to Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier but I'm not far enough into the story to know yet.

Finally reading all the light we cannot see. I don't usually like historical fiction, but I like it so far.
