I’ve recently finished this book which was an enjoyable period crime romp with a female Welsh protagonist.

100th: Give the Boys a Great Big Hand from Ed McBain published in 1960 offers the most gruesome and cynical 87th Precinct case to that point. The cops face a daunting and disturbing murder when severed hands are discovered in a bag during a rainstorm with no clues to the victim or crime. Great read that captures the feeling that US was slowly unraveling and that the safety and conformity of 1950s was an illusion. #books #crimefiction

Today I finished reading The Girl With Ice in Her Veins — and I must say I was disappointed. The setting in Gasskas cannot compare with Stockholm, and the convoluted plot with foolish characters was a huge drag.
Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander are barely present. Instead, the book leans too heavily on violence against women, ticking every cliché box. After such a frustrating read, I won’t be revisiting this series again.

If you like crime fiction, here's a fun late summer read blending true life with creative invention & conjecture around Agatha Christie's brief disappearance ninety-nine years ago this December.
Watch also for mention within of one of earliest accounts of the Titanic sinking worth investigating.

The Night She Fell, Eileen Merriman
Police procedural and a psychological teenage angst about control and exploitation.

Two new reviews today
Highway 13, Fiona McFarlane: https://tinyl.co/3eKE
Very clever connected short stories.
The Hollow Girl, Lyn Yeowart https://tinyl.co/3eKG
Gives a voice to young woman in a devastating scenario
Both exploring consequences of criminal behaviour.
Just finished Gone Tomorrow (Jack Reacher #13) and this one’s heavier than most Reacher books. More real-world history, and blurred lines between friend & enemy.
My full review is live now, and why I’m hyped for the S4 TV adaptation.

94: 9th in 87th Precinct is a perfect example of why McBain is a master of literary suspense with this story of Carella’s sister’s wedding where the groom is a target for pranks and maybe murder. Detectives race to figure out the threat and make sure it is a happy day for the couple. #books #crimefiction
