Readers shouldn't be put off by the length. It's an excellent read and a well-researched story. I've read it more than once, too, Jim.
i'm currently listen audio version of William Martin December 41: World War II thriller.
I read The House of Broken Angels by Luis Alberto Urrea, a rambunctious novel about a Mexican American immigrant family. A large cast of characters, all of whom are affectionately drawn, especially the patriarch, Big Angel, who is dying of cancer.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I have a cute story you might want to read. I am also looking for people to review. A Dramatic and Prophetic Short Story: Jesus and His Early Life. It is only 42 pages. If interested and you do not have Kindle Unlimited where it is free. I can email you a copy. Just let me know at jonche231@gmail.com.
I am two thirds through Lord of Chaos. Wheel of Time number 6 and so far I would say it is the best book in the series.

and
The Numbing by Flint Maxwell - reviewed - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5374921527
I read Robert B. Parker's Cheap Shot by Ace Atkins Atkins now continues the series started by the late Robert. B Parker and does it very well. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I read Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. The intrepid Elizabeth Zott is a chemist in the 1950s and 1960s who has to contend with gender discrimination and harassment in a male-dominated profession. The novel is entertaining, funny, and an easy read if one is prepared to overlook some of the obvious cliches.

I am currently reading Steeped in Secrets and Forget What You Know which are two different types of books.
I just finished "Cruel Beauty". God, it is SO good. You guys have GOT to try it. Amazing Beauty and the Beast retelling. I'm going to read "The Rose And The Dagger" now. I'm so into fairy tale retellings. Any suggestions?!!
I read Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes. It is supposed to be a retelling of the myth of Medusa. But it really wasn't. Haynes was all over the map with the too many characters, too much happening. Medusa was relegated to a relatively minor role. Medusa's head interrupts the narrative to address the reader in a sort of chummy tone. Really weird. It was a disappointing read for me, especially since I enjoyed Haynes' A Thousand Ships.

I am reading the last book "The Winners" from Fredrik Backman's Beartown series. Highly recommended for every Backman fan.
Read Backwoods Ripper by Anna Willett and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5387930105
I finished my 7th book now I'm on to Reckoning: An FBI Thriller. By Catherine Coulter.
