📚 Two For Tuesday 📚

Thrillers are my go-to genre but I do read other stuff. For today's #TwoForTuesday I'm highlighting two uplifting novels that I loved. Both 5⭐️ reads.

#RulesForPerfectMurders by @peterswanson6.bsky.social pays homage to classic crime fiction and leaves you feeling unsettled throughout thanks to an unreliable narrator.

📚 Two For Tuesday 📚

As it's International Translation Day I thought I'd share two recent reads that have been translated into English.

#WellPrescribeYouACat by Syou Ishida
#WhenTheCranesFlySouth by Lisa Ridzen

You'll definitely need tissues for the second one 😭

#ThePottingShedMurder by Paula Sutton, for #BigRead2025, is a twisty cosy crime showing that even quaint villages have an undercurrent of bitterness and resentment that can lead to murder.

The discussion of The Potting Shed Murder is mid-week. I do enjoy Milly Johnson’s books; uplifting, with very realistic female characters
