Pam asked Bobby Underwood:

Just checking in to say hello and I hope your and yours are well. Any particular books (not science fiction) you can recommend? I've not gotten attached to anything lately. Need something to spark that spark!

Bobby Underwood Oh, we're doing fine, and thanks. Not certain on the book (s). Among other books I read recently on vacation was a Kate Shugak mystery by Dana Stabenow called Midnight Come Again. A lot of Alaska atmosphere. First one I've read though the ninth or tenth in the series, and I'm going to pick up more now that I've read it. A few years ago there was a terrific book by David Gann called The Lost City of Z about Percy Fawcett's disappearance in the Amazon so long ago and it is very thrilling and entertaining, history written almost as an exciting work of fiction. It is sort of in that Kirkpatrick, A Cast of Killers in tone and style and a wonderful book. Other than that and a few good ones from Independent authors I've reviewed, I've been on an Ed McBain and Donald Hamilton kick lately. :-)
