Just announced! Another Holly Gibney mystery!
Note: to avoid confusion, I wrote the above on May 14, 2019. It is now released and I am reading it. Also, at the time I was not aware it was another four novella book.

Got you again Matthew?

Probably. Although I think if he gets you another four or five times you may be tempted to read it

Don't know why he keeps shoehorning Holly into his novels. I don't even like that character. I find her irritating.

Yeah Matthew sort of an odd one where he has taken the lesser character from the Bill Hodges trilogy and sidestepped her into the Outsider where she again wasn't the main character.

Ah, yes! Now I am seeing today as the release date. Since I cannot count on the library right now, I may need to figure out something else!
Well - decided to download the Kindle Version. I have some Amazon credits from saying that I would accept some deliveries slower so that essential items could be shipped so I saved about $4!

Alondra wrote: "That's awesome. I love a good deal."These shipping credits are because of COVID-19 . . . so, silver linings, I guess!

I hope it arrives soon!
How are you liking it so far?
Heather wrote: "How are you liking it so far?"Still only a few pages in - reading has been slow to none for me lately. But, The first ten pages or so did grab me!
Good! I was debating whether to buy this or not.
Heather wrote: "Good! I was debating whether to buy this or not."Also, I am seeing a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews from my Goodreads friends already
I pre-ordered mine! I can’t wait to read it!
It wasn’t “just announced” 3 days ago we knew it was coming shortly after the institute came out
