This is the only kind of murder mystery I like: a small and interconnected group are somewhere remote.....one person winds up dead...but who did it - everyone had their own reason!!!

I was slightly disappointed by the who and the how because there were so many good alternatives but overall a good read, the howling wind and the whole remote craggy island set up was A+

I don't usually like a second chance romance but I liked that this was part of a series so I already wanted to know more about them and these two were so strong and still so clearly in love, just unable to communicate with each other.

Several things to love: an interracial couple where NEITHER of them were white, a woman providing sex education to empower women of all ages, a powerful and supportive group of women with non-traditional careers, and one of my favorite tropes: food as love.

As stellar as her debut, Lab Girl. A must read.

As someone in the process of buying a car, I particularly enjoyed this quote:
"If cars were not useful, they would be regarded as a great social ill. More people die from road traffic injuries each year the world over, than from murder and suicide combined. We make formal and good faith efforts to condemn, eradicate, or at least minimize murder and suicide but we vigorously duplicate and distribute the automobiles that prone to spontaneously slaughtering us while we operate them."

I enjoy everything Malcolm Gladwell writes, so these short and interesting essays were a great way to get through a reading slump - though many of these essays are from the late '90s/early '00s so I am curious about updates/how things have progressed.

Slow but decent - I needed something with not a lot happening during a busy season at work where I couldn't really focus on too much plot, and this really fit the bill.

Gorgeously written
