Hello! I am Lizzie, and my main joy in life is reading books and thinking about books! I have so many thoughts about each book I read so wanted a place to record these thoughts, and a place where others who are reading the same book as me can share their thoughts about it too. I’ve tried to write my (often lengthy!) reviews of books so it feels like I am chatting with you as we read the book together, comparing thoughts at the end of a chapter and ideas of where the plot and characters may end up, wondering why the author has written a character or scene in a particular way and what they may be subtly trying to tell us about that character or scene. So enjoy reading along with me, and please get in touch, I’d love to be able to discover more about a favourite book from your thoughts on it.
I'm excited to read this book, as it's labelled as one of Sinclair Lewis’ four essential mystery stories (the other three stories being Bleak House by Charles Dickens, Malice Aforethought by Francis Iles, and The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L. Sayers) and I’ve been working my way through them all. I like this book from the very start, as the tension builds nicely. Read the full review
