End of chapter 30...it's possible one or more of the characters is an unreliable narrator. We shall see!

Finally got half the mystery solved! Totally invested. Great rapid and absorbing plot up til now.

I find the book engaging but honestly not much has happened quite yet. Penelope is a first year college student at an Edinburgh university. She seems to have arrived at college with an ulterior motive, mainly to meet up with an old friend of her father's for whom was given her middle name. As many other reviewers stated so far there is nothing going on that has anything to do with octopi.

This is hard to read. The protagonist makes many mistakes and missteps which help lead to the consequences she faces. There is the suggestion that some events are unreliably understood or reported towards the end...

Waiting to see how it shakes out. The author is taking the climax right to the end of the book!

This book really irritated me when I first started it. The male main character immediately hits on someone he's supposed to be working with and too much attention is placed on women's appearance....but then the plot got interesting.

The novel toggles in between two time periods but it's well done and not too distracting.

I'm in the author's clutches now and I have to keep going!

Gripping account of how cancer studies revealed a fatal flaw in the genes of families who had suffered from years of horrible cancers.

Stories of the pain and loss endured by children and young adults and their families are interspersed with the fascinating tale of research and advances in the medical community.

This is dragging on and on. There are so many people, colleagues and friends of the deceased, that it's almost impossible to keep track. Several suspects are discussed and even when a resolution seems to have been reached the book still goes on for like an hour.

It's interesting and obviously thoroughly researched but holy cow who is her editor?

Well read by the author.

Basically a horror/beast story. It's always fun to revisit Walt and Henry's early days but bec the reader knows that they have to survive it's just a body count situation.

Still, Craig Johnson's spare yet atmospheric prose transports you into the bleak Alaskan wilds.
