I'm writing a novel trilogy. A Sherlock Holmes story, in three acts. It's absolutely definitely fictional and not autobiographical in any way.

Just finished reading Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
"I don't get why this book is rated so highly," I thought. "It's obvious that there's only one suspect left. Also even if it turns out to be someone else, none of these choices are unlikely."
And then I got to the end.
What.
Whut.
What???????
BUT I WAS ALSO THINKING THE SAME THING LIKE Y'KNOW WHO DID HAVE ALL THE OPPORTUNITY SKILL AND NO REAL ALIBI THAT STANDS UP TO SCRUTINY?? BUT OF COURSE IT OBVIOUSLY IT COULDN'T BE THEM BECAUSE...BUT APPARENTLY IT WAS THEM PRECISELY BECAUSE AND WHAT THE FUCK????
Somebody was like, the thing about a whodunit is that readers like to be tricked, not conned. I feel like this should be a con because NOT FUCKING FAIR HOW WOULD WE HAVE SEEN THAT COMING and yet I still only feel tricked.
Agatha Christie you brilliant bitch.

He taps his login details into his keyboard and sighs as the computer fans whir increasingly louder, clearly displeased that he had the sheer audacity to cause micro-mechanical warfare by requesting the dusty machine do its job.

Lavender House by Lev AC Rosen – Book Review & Lovely Lavender Latte Recipe
about the book: set in 1950's San Francisco, with all the period-typical homophobia of the time, Lavender House is a historical detective novel following outed & disgraced ex-detective Andy as he investigates the death of soap empire matriarch Irene Lamontaine at the request of her secret wife.
rating: ☕☕☕☕☕/5
my hot take: I really enjoyed this book. I may even go as far as to say Lavender House is my favorite murder mystery of the year. A charismatic detective, interesting characters, an engaging investigation, and nostalgic worldbuilding tarnished with the fear of the times kept me turning pages. A fantastic start to what promises to be a fantastic series. The next book in the Evander Mills detective series is planned to come out this fall and I absolutely can’t wait to dive right back in.
( A more in-depth review & the recipe for the Lovely Lavender Latte in the photo can be found at the link below.)
