Hopefully you're still in for this, Rebecca :)

1/5 complete :)

I will nominate The Postcard Killers by James Patterson. The connection is in the summary itself. It's one of the settings of the book too.

NYPD detective Jacob Kanon is on a tour of Europe's most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren't what draw him--he sees each museum, each cathedral, and each cafe through the eyes of his daughter's killer.

Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, and Stockholm have been found dead. Little connects the murders, other than a postcard to the local newspaper that precedes each new victim., Wish you were here.

Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson, who has just received a postcard in Stockholm--and they think they know where the next victims will be.

Suggesting Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare for June though I'm open to other months. It's a horror novel that sounds really exciting.

Current TBR = 2145

Eeep! :/

I need to get ahold of a copy myself.

This book is incredibly good. I almost don't want it to end. I think that's why I am reading it so slowly lol I just started the Yellow part of the book. Maybe I can finish the book this week. It's compelling.

I am confirming participation for all my reads in March. Thanks for the hard work you moderators do!

Several books. Sadly, I can never read just one lol

The Outsider (buddy read)
Mexican Gothic (buddy read)
A Fair of the Heart (romance, gotta have the romance)
Gather Together in My Name (Maya Angelou led such an extraordinary life)
