Books of 2024 so far

Shortest Way to Hades by Caudwell, Hilary Tamar mysteries - Great, excellent, cannot believe ???? whatever the fuck is happening with Julia and Selena - they’re fucking right??? have to be??

 

The Maritan by Weir - Is this what people want from Mars novels? Triple crimes of being boring and having character work so lousy that it’s only occasionally worth like even opening one’s eyes for. And of course, not funny. I hope no one writes novels again
