🔹 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 🔹

I’m late to the Charlie Donlea is a fantastic author party. He only popped up on my radar when his latest book, Twenty Years Later, published in December. As I was checking to see if my library’s @libby.app had that book, I discovered the library has some of his previous books. So I decided to give Some Choose Darkness a try. It did not disappoint! 

Some Choose Darkness is the first in a series featuring main character Rory Moore. She’s a forensic reconstructionist, often called in by the police to help solve cold cases. Here’s what I liked about the book: 

🔹Rory is neurodivergent. She can sift through evidence, see patterns, and put the pieces together that others have overlooked. 

🔹 The story’s timeline shifts from past to present and both timelines crackle with suspense. 

🔹Family secrets.

🔹There’s lots of twists and turns.

🔹Rory has a really unusual hobby. 

🔹Fast paced and well plotted. 

All of which made this a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ read for me. Looking forward to reading Donlea’s Twenty Years Later. Shoutout to @andrea.c.lowry.reads for being so kind and gifting me a copy so I don’t have to wait months for a copy from the library. 

I don’t have a QOTD so Let’s do predict text.

If I have to get some stuff for my mom’s birthday was an Olympic sport, I would totally have a gold medal. 😀 Very appropriate because tomorrow is my mom’s birthday. I got her a fleece vest and Lindor chocolate truffles from @lindt_usa.
