Too Soon?
Covid Novels are Hitting the Shelves
In March 2020, the world came to a standstill. Our lives changed, practically overnight.
Lockdown meant different things for different people and, two years later, I couldn't help wondering how the coronavirus would become "novel" in a different way -- in the hands of fiction authors trying to write novels with no idea how the worldwide pandemic would play out.
Those novels have started hitting our shelves.
Tumblr media
When Lousie Penny, author of the bestselling Three Pines mysteries, was putting the finishing touches on The Madness of Crowds, she optimistically thought the development of a vaccine would spell a quick end to the virus worldwide so it plays a minor role, as a period of time filled with terrible memories, but all in the past. (Don't we wish?)
Her characters and plot, however, reveal some of the societal failings the pandemic illuminated.
Tumblr media
Catherine Ryan Howard takes a different approach in 56 Days.
Lockdown in Dublin is announced shortly after Ciara and Oliver begin dating. They want to keep seeing each other and lockdown surely won't last longer than two weeks (right?), so she moves into his apartment.
56 days later, one of them is dead.
Howard uses the restrictions imposed to stop the spread of COVID as a tool in her plot development and her suspense thriller subtly reminds readers of how utterly bizarre the first few weeks of the pandemic felt, especially to those who were young and healthy.
Tumblr media
I've just started reading Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult in which a couple on the verge of becoming engaged (maybe) cannot travel to the Galapagos Islands together because it's March 2020 and he's a doctor in New York City.
She decides to go alone and finds herself stuck on an island where everything is shut down. This couple is obviously going to experience the pandemic in very different ways.
As more novels emerge, I'm sure COVID-19 and the pandemic will play many roles. The question for readers is -- too soon?

Cautious Confirmation
#BOOKREVIEW - Cautious Confirmation - #56Days #blog
Two people are brought together by apparent chance and circumstance and temporarily move in together with no one the wiser, but one of them ends up dead in 56 Days by Catherine Ryan Howard. Ciara and Oliver have what seems like a chance meeting at a supermarket in Dublin where the pair hit it off and begin to date in the days leading up to COVID restrictions that will reduce their opportunity to…

As much as it isn't fun to hear Jon yelling at Martin, the end part of Mag 56 is so hilarious to me.
Listen, there is NO evidence to support Martin's claim about lying on his CV, and frankly it's kind of a weak cover story. You are required to show proof of your qualifications when you get a new job on the strength of them - not to mention ID - and even though on a relisten we know Martin's telling the truth and that Elias has his own reasons for hiring Martin, Jon doesn't know any of that. There's nothing to back up Martin's story and given how paranoid Jon's been since Prentiss, not to mention the fact that his specific concerns about Martin were that he might be hiding his own cunning behind the image of someone bumbling and soft (Jonathan "right for the wrong reasons" Sims strikes again) it is wild to me that he accepts this so quickly.
It's almost as though he's eager for Martin to be innocent, even though everything he's previously said about him would indicate that he'd rather it was Martin than Tim or Sasha, the assistants he respects professionally and likes on a personal level. It's so easy to picture him just blue-screening while poor Martin sits there expecting to be fired/screamed at again.
Martin: Okay, that's the truth, do your worst. Jon? Jon??
Jon, internally: Martin's innocent Martin lied to Elias but not me Martin didn't kill Gertrude Martin's safe Martin's still my friend Martin doesn't want me dead
Martin: Jon?
Jon, internally: MartinMartinMartinMartin

“…Hey. I just remembered something. Once, back in the Celestial Realm, I got lost in the forest. I remember spending a good long time up in one of the trees crying.”
“Did someone come to rescue you?”
“Yeah. But before you jump to conclusions, it wasn’t any of my brothers. …It was Raphael.”
— Belphegor and MC (Chapter 56-1)
