@trinsec it’s been a while since I’ve finished a book, so I guess that’s why it felt quick. It’s not murder mystery with a lady at all, but maybe check out A Cruel Madness by Colin Thubron should you run out of recommendations or would like a change in theme. It’s a psychological novel that I remember really creeped me out near the end
@trinsec well I’m glad you were at least entertained. I know it didn’t fit in exactly with the genre you described but I enjoyed reading this book and thought it would be a good recommendation. I didn’t relate with the old lady either but the characterizations were great and the turn of events highly engaging. Honestly I’m surprised you’re already finished. I assumed you had a long list
@trinsec I highly recommend Drive Your Plow over the Bones of the Dead

Thousands of photographs from the heart of China’s highly secretive system of mass incarceration in Xinjiang, as well as a shoot-to-kill policy for those who try to escape, are among a huge cache of data hacked from police computer servers in the region.
@trinsec i navigate between four languages and there are moments when your brain is just “no”

There's this really interesting thread on twitter about how the change in the "Like" icon from a star to a heart could have lead to an increase in "negative interactions" (more sharing out of outrage rather than liking) - https://twitter.com/random_walker/status/1524715329955540994

Saved a dehydrated bird. Took him in and fed him water from a syringe until he was able to fly again. Just released him and he seems good.
@trinsec yes but they have no chance against a billionaire autocrat’s machinery
@trinsec it’s the national elections
@trinsec i googled it and still don’t get the joke. Or is it that bad

The new Carly Rae Jepsen music video is out and it's wonderful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZiEvY6d8Y4
I’m guessing the jamon store below has something to do with them
