Do they call it "Indian Country" in the novels? That's surprising.

Finished Checkmate, by J.S. Le Fanu (1871). Whoa! Another book where I didn't breathe through the last few chapters. Part sensation fiction & part murder mystery, and I loved it.



Just downloaded a copy.

I loved In a Glass Darkly and Uncle Silas. I really like Le Fanu's style and approach. I'll download my copy of Checkmate on kindle.




Lies She Told by Cate Holahan A New Author for me and I really loved it
The Chalk Man by C.J. Tudor A New Author and a book i won as a giveawy I will be reading more from him
Life After by Katie Ganshert I just couldnt get into it. I finish reading it and all but dont know if i read anything else from this person
Triple Witch by Sarah Graves It was okay of a book but not very good one IMO
Rusty Nail by J.A. Konrath Another great Jack Daniels Mystery! I am so glad I decide to give this series a reread!
French Pressed by Cleo Coyle A Good Little Cozy mystery
Hope You all Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving


In this 'creative non-fiction' book, the author tells the true(ish)story of Thad Roberts, an intern at NASA who decided it was a good idea to steal a bunch of moon rocks to impress his girlfriend. In any case it's an interesting story that held my attention. (I'm constantly amazed about what people get up to.)
3 stars

If you're not tired of Le Fanu, B.J. Harrison is currently narrating The Room in the Dragon Volant over at the The Classic Tales Podcast. I'll be listening to that one as soon as he has posted the final episode.

I thank you for the link, but I've read that one several times. I never get tired of Le Fanu.

Sounds great! Will have to check it out.

I am starting to read a review copy of Lines of Justice: Aždaja by Lee Sherred.


Criminal defense lawyer Jason Kolarich has become addicted to oxycodone, and isn't thinking as clearly as he should. Bad decisions and bad luck lead to him being accused of first degree murder. Good mystery/legal thriller. 3.5 stars

In this 5th book in the series, DCI Erika Foster is after a serial killer who likes to beat each victim to a pulp, cut them up, and stuff them into a suitcase. This investigation turns out to be very hard on Erika.
Once again, the story has an abusive man who hits and intimates a woman (This seems to be trend lately, one I'm not fond of.)
Cold Blood is a good mystery/thriller. 3.5 stars

In this comic novel, Charlie Asher's death resulted in his soul being transferred to a body made of animal parts and luncheon meats. Now Charlie and his cohorts have to fight off underworld creatures that threaten to destroy the Earth. Lots of crazy fun in this story. 3.5 stars
(I love the cover of this book.)
