Kevin Doyle made a comment in the group A Good Thriller — What's The Last Movie You Watched? topic " "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood." Kind of unexpected, as Fred Rogers is not the main focus of the movie. That kind of threw me for a loop. "

Just finished "The Promise," by Robert Crais. Bit of a disappointment. I'm always up for a good Elvis Cole story, and after "Suspect" I couldn't wait to read about Scott and Maggie again (can't beat a good German Shepherd). But I'm becoming ...more

I started on Connelly a while back, and as is my wont I pretty much began with his first works and am moving forward in sequence. While the Harry Bosch books are okay, I vastly prefer his Mickey Haller stories. Mainly because, while the Bosch plots ...more

So I'm starting to go on a Joe R. Lansdale binge. I've sampled his short stories before, but never looked into his novels. That's changing this summer. I began with "The Bottoms," which was okay, pretty creepy, but the "To Kill a Mockingbird" ...more
