Looking for a couple of shorter reads. Most mysteries are novel sized, and I'm trying to learn how the shorter ones are supposed to read like. I've been getting pulled away from the novels in the middle and forgetting clues by the time I get back, so the end is a bit too magic to follow because my memory isn't always up to the task. Any suggestions?
There's probably a backstory here leading up to this, but you do you.
I have a note from a mute alter to post this, and I might be missing some nuance.
We tripped over some unremembered childhood trauma in therapy a few weeks ago. Along with dragging me out of my grave into a Rip Van Winkle situation, apparently our system communication and coordination has been worse since, and the quiet one is worried that the trend isn't towards the communication getting better. He wants to know if anyone has any suggestions on getting back to the less chaotic situation we were in before, and if there's anything we're doing that might be inadvertently making things worse.
