What are you reading? (2026)

Fascinating and worrying.

And they’ve made up an imaginary half sister on Lincoln Lawyer to be a stand in for Harry. Boo.

Boo boo might be Mr. Connelly’s as executive producer?

Recently checked out from library:

So far, Catalina is too small to be Shetland-potential for storylines:

Of course, Mr. Henshall’s and Ms. Jensen’s parts are very well-written and well-played . . . as much as we’re thankful Harry and Mickey pretty much delivered the on-screen goods without each other . . .

No I’m just saying boo because I would love for Bosch and Lincoln lawyer to come together but because of Netflix and Amazon probably not allowing it they had to make up a half sister who is not in the books. Not blaming Michael Connelly just too bad they couldn’t work it out.

I read the Catalina Island book last year and enjoyed, I also went to camp on Catalina when I was growing up and I like geographic locations I can relate to! Looking forward to book 2.

I’ve found the last couple of series (since the Perez character left) to be much less credible. You now have two detective inspectors, who seem to have equal seniority. And only one detective constable for them to supervise.

Right. Tosh declined the promotion, paving the way for “Agatha Raisin”'s arrival, but DC Sandy and DS Billy remain. We always enjoy the characters, no matter the plot line.

Not quite, I’m afraid. She still holds her promoted rank of Detective Inspector but had been told that she would have to move to a new district . That storyline has not been explored, which is why we have Detective Inspectors and Sandy.

Have you had the episode of “Billy Too Good To be True” yet? No clues as to what I’m talking about if you havent. :grinning_face:

We did oversimplify.

Wait
Agatha Raisin is in Catalina?

Shetland:

Thanks! I used to watch Shetland! I don’t get the Agatha Raisin part. Maybe because I read the books, but didn’t watch the show? What am I missing?

ETA I see! Same actress!

We just finished watching how to get to heaven from Belfast and I found it a bit disconcerting to have the same actress that took over for Nicola Walker in Unforgotten play a very different role in the Belfast show. Oh well that’s why they call it acting!

Nicola Walker has held our eye too, beginning with Last Tango in Halifax. In spite of Bernie, one of the Commitments’ singers, showing up here. The other two Commitments singers have been everywhere too all these years. Good on them, we say.

I’m just getting into the latest by Tana French, the final book in her Cal Hooper trilogy. Like the previous two, it looks to be a slow burn.
