Into the Water should have been Nel’s story. And, unfortunately, that means it suffers from the same problem that so many second books do, which is that it pales in comparison to the author’s debut. There might have been a story worth telling buried in it somewhere but Paula Hawkins didn’t find it. When I read the blurb of this book, I thought it was strangely vague but it isn’t strange at all.

It got to a point when I felt as though everything that could have gone wrong to her, had come to pass, but then the mysterious web opened up again and pulled me further into the desert and the back streets of the cities, and I found some soothing gems in the pages. Maybe this one even though I found it good, was a little bit slow in places and too much going on with the main character. Maybe it is was just me, but still think her best was the Tenth Gift. There were some brilliant moments, and some that really pulled me into the time and the desert.

It was partly inspired by family research done by Erdrich's mother and sister-they have ancestors who lived on Moningwanaykaning in the 1800s-and the series as a whole is, in Erdrich's words, "an attempt to retrace my own family's story". The Birchbark House chronicles a year in her life and the life of her family: from sibling rivalry to sibling cooperation from dangerous animals to friendly ones from harvesting corn and wild rice to stocking winter stores to making maple sugar from living in a birchbark house in the summer, moving to a cedar cabin in the winter, and back again from feast to famine, from joy and wonder to illness and grief. It's 1847, and eight-year-old Ojibwa girl Omakayas lives with her family on Moningwanaykaning, Island of the Golden-Breasted Woodpecker, in Lake Superior. 5/12/2023 0 Comments Hook line and sinker book 1Armed with a few tips from Westport’s resident Casanova, Hannah sets out to catch her coworker’s eye… yet the more time she spends with Fox, the more she wants him instead.

McKinty will be one of the authors attending and reading from his work, along with Megan Abbott, David Whish Wilson and Leigh Redhead. I’ll be doing a longer review of The Cold Cold Ground in the next issue of Crime Factory. I just wanted to do a short post on it here, partly because it’s such a good book and deserves all the kudos is can garner and partly because it’s another chance for me to spruik the launch of Crime Factory Publications on March 5. McKinty’s books are the kind of crime fiction I love, sharp, well written, combining political analysis with a hard noir edge. I’ve been an Adrian McKinty fan ever since reading Falling Glass last year and was keen as hell to get his latest, The Cold Cold Ground. forever! sortTitle If the Shoe Fits Whatever After Series Book 02 lexileScore 420 crossRefId 1712801 series Whatever After publisher Scholastic Inc.
