Nice double meaning. Not just what I read in the eighth month, but a value judgement: some truly august books. First up was What Doesn’t Break Us by Helen Sedgwick. This rounds off her Burrowhead mystery trilogy and I assume after this ending that she’s never going to return to the village. I mean… how would you even? No spoilers, but this ain’t no ordinary rural village, hidden secrets, local murders for local people kind of thriller. It’s soooo much weirder than that, in such a good way. A little bit too much closure for my tastes but I’m usually in the minority on that score (though one decision had me shouting at the character). I’m really curious to see what Sedgwick does next as she seems to reinvent herself every few books.
