PattyMacDotComma Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch #2 pits Harry against The Black Ice, as treacherous a drug as its namesake on frozen, dark roads. This is LA and Mexico before we had Google in our pockets.

PattyMacDotComma The Right Side of the Line by Susan Wilkins is a timely novella-length addition to her Detective Megan Thomas series, taking place in England during Covid. How times change!

PattyMacDotComma I always enjoy the adventures of Aussie author Sulari Gentill's wealthy artist Rowland Sinclair and his colourful friends in 1930s Australia. In A Dangerous Language, they attempt to warn the government about what the Nazis are really up to. Loved it!

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 1433 comments I'm not sure if this will appeal to anyone but I found it fascinating. It is a work of non-fiction called Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States by James C. Scott.

Scott's analysis of state formation focuses primarily on ancient Mesopotamia. He challenges the narrative that states were formed as a result of the domestication of animals and plants. The study is replete with fascinating insights.

Amalia, I can no longer see your reviews or your profile and I can't message you anymore. We've been friends twice (when some GR glitch happened before). Can you message me so we can fix it?

PattyMacDotComma Kingdom of the Blind by Louise Penny took me back to Three Pines, the remote, snowy village in Quebec which seems to have more than its share of murderous events! (No wonder I love it.)

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 1433 comments The Lambs of London by Peter Ackroyd.
Historical fiction set in late 18th/early 19thC London. A little disappointing because I had hoped it would be about Charles and Mary Lamb. Instead the focus was on William Ireland, the man who claimed to have discovered some never-before-seen manuscripts by Shakespeare.

Tamara Agha-Jaffar | 1433 comments I read another Alina Bronsky novel. Broken Glass Park is her debut novel. Translated from the German by Tim Mohr. It's good, but I think her later novels are much stronger. She is generally very good at doing first-person narratives.
