Karla Dee (6 KP) rated Lockdown on London Lane in Books

Mar 4, 2022

So I both hate and love that they were being irresponsible during the pandemic. I had guys wanting to come to my place when the pandemic first began but I wasn't even going over to the boy's house that I REALLY wanted to see so I didn't have the time of day for men whose names I don't remember. Immy had the time for Honeypot tho and her friend Lucy was already shaming her for being irresponsible which means I don't need to continue the warnings about germs PLUS she did wash her hands once she got back into Nico's... I mean Nate's apartment.

Ethan's thoughts about his gf coming back from her childhood home with beanie babies and maybe creating a home library was freaking adorbs!

I love the cover of this book and how we get to take a look at how multiple couple's or situationship navigate being locked in together for seven days because a tenant has been exposed to the rona virus very frightening but this book makes it cute.

Who Helped Greta’s Neighbor Check Out?

Greta Plank has moved to Larkspur, Wisconsin, for a fresh start. She’s loving her job as the director of the local library, and she’s become close friends with her fellow librarians. She’s even become friends with her neighbor, the town recluse. Unfortunately, she finds his dead body after work one day. But what she thinks is an accident the police label murder. Even worse, they think she is the prime suspect. Can she clear her name?

I thought this book sounded good, so I was looking forward to reading it. The initial set up was good, and I was getting cozy vibes from the characters and the setting. Sadly, that didn’t continue as the book progressed. I did like Greta’s arc, but the rest of the characters stayed pretty flat. The mystery did have some surprises, but I had things figured out very early. It’s not that the book is bad, but it’s not good either. This is one to pick up only is something in particular about the premise appeals to you.
