I loved Mercy but not for the faint heart cosy crime it is not A Sisters story totally a different genre it is sad though I'll have to have a proper look at the ones I've read and think more about it But these I'll definitely read more from these authors same goes for Elena Knows by Claudia Piñeiro who I read last year |

As you may guess international fiction interests me. I find it interesting. So I follow a few accounts on twitter and Facebook I came across this bookanista.com Posting here I've not read properly but it's like a bookmark to remind myself to go back to it |

I've posted this elsewhere But finished Three by French author Valérie Perrin translated by Hildegarde Serle Absolutely loved it the only gripe I finished it could have kept going 😊 I'm in Germany now (not physically) To catch a Killer by Nele Neuhaus Translator Steven T Murray I'm loving the language set at a Frankfurt police department and they have a profiler in to help the case (a sniper killing people) he gets on their nerves and was described a shithead Sorry made me giggle what's german for shithead |
