Araych | 591 comments What Abigail Did that Summer What Abigail Did That Summer (Rivers of London, #5.3) by Ben Aaronovitch by Ben Aaronovitch

I love the Rivers of London series but this is a bit of a disappointment. No Peter Grant, just a bit of Nightingale and just a bit of the Rivers. The first two-thirds read like it's YA although the last third gets a bit tougher. Not really a Rivers of London entry. Very short, very light. I did like it. 3 stars.

Avisek Bandyopadhyay | 56 comments Hey, Happy New Year everyone :)

I have been thinking of starting the year with a taut mystery/ thriller that is literally unputdownable (read page-turner)

I haven't read a lot of mystery/ thriller in the recent years - suggest me something please.

Christine    | 25 comments Completed The Alice Network by Kate Quinn ||

The Alice Network was real. Louise de Bettignies, (code name: Alice) it’s leader and her fate during World War I were too. As is the martyred French village Oradour-sur Glane still stands today.

The author uses this true life war heroine’s story to spin a dual timeline narrative. Two women. One haunted and searching for someone during time as a spy in WWI France. The other searching for her missing cousin post WWII. Both find strength, and search for absolution.

I am currently reading Fresh Water For Flowers by Valérie Perrin which is not my normal type of book, but I need to read more before deciding if I enjoy it or not!

In this sci-fi detective novel, people are dying from a mysterious cause in outer space habitats, and the prefects (police) have to stop the carnage (amongst other things).

Very good story. 4 stars

PattyMacDotComma | 782 comments The Spy Coast, by Tess Gerritsen, is a new ensemble piece about five spies who have tried to retire quietly to a small town but discover it's not that easy. The author was inspired by real life circumstances near her, which made it even more interesting to me.

Finished reading The Long Shadow: The Classic Christmas Mystery by Celia Fremlin -- pretty good, although the blood droplets on the cover are sort of misleading.

I got a late start on The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride for this month's group read, while I'm reading You Dreamed of Empires by Álvaro Enrigue.
