Do you have any favorite planning methods? (Bullet points, writing it all vaguely out, the three act/six act structure, etc.)

The Maiden by Kate Foster is set in 1670s Scotland, following Lady Christian, who is sentenced to death for killing her lover, and Violet Blythe, a young woman taken into the household by said lover after he finds her in a brothel.

I was initially reasonably engaged by the present tense narrative of Christian in prison and the flashbacks to the year before, detailing the events leading up to the murder. But I was having some issues with it, in terms of the 'status of women in the 1600s' theme and the potentially unreliable narrator. Then, we unexpectedly got a chapter from Violet's viewpoint and I just hated her narrative voice. I checked ahead and saw that she had a lot of chapters throughout the book and decided I didn't want to have to wade through those when I wasn't wholly sold on Christian's narrative either.

So, another unfinished book, unfortunately.

I recently reread Mr Mercedes by Stephen King, as part of my Reviews Revisited series on my YouTube channel, not really remembering much about it before embarking - and I really enjoyed it!

I think listening to the audiobook helped because it's got one of my favourite audiobook narrators, who is very well suited to the material. Stephen King really knows how to write a story, and Will Patton really knows how to narrate one!

It's about a retired detective trying to bring to justice a mass killer who was part of one of his last cases, but it's not a 'whodunnit' but rather a 'how will they catch him' because we get the killer's POV from near the start so the reader knows who he is all along.

It's pretty unpleasant in places, but not so much as to be really off-putting - and the plot, pacing and tension are all really good. I liked the range of characters, particularly the two the detective recruits to help him in the second half.

I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did - and I'm definitely going to carry on with the series.
