The Stranger

A young man called 'the stranger' makes it his business to expose people's secrets. Naturally this causes no end of trouble.
The plot is a bit unrealistic, but it's suspenseful. 3 stars
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

A very interesting psychological story about two women communicating over email and text about a dispute over an Airbnb rental.

Lomax & Biggs #4, OK to read as stand-alone. Lomax and Biggs, LAPD detectives with strong senses of humor, track a serial killer targeting terrible people. Interestingly, one of the acts of one of the fictional terrible people was nearly recreated in reality in 2019, 9 years after this book was written. This entry didn't seem to me to be as funny as most. 3 stars.

In this 24th book in the 'Kinsey Milhone' series, the private detective investigates two complex cases - one of which involves her fellow private detective Pete Wolinsky. The book can be read as a standalone.
The story meanders more than most books in the series but it's always good to visit with Kinsey and her nonagenarian landlord Henry. 3 stars

I liked this one better than the one before it. I’m reading Y is for Yesterday now.

You’re welcome, Gretchen. I held off reading this knowing it’s the last in the series.

Andy Carpenter #8, OK to read as stand-alone. Andy and his client, a one-legged thief, get caught up in multiple murders and a huge financial conspiracy. This series never disappoints. 4 stars.
