Your enthusiasm is contagious -- I can't wait for the library to open again so I can grab some more books, including The Holdout.

I really enjoyed this one, too.


This novel of suspense interweaves three storylines involving three families in England. There's an amnesiac; a missing man; and a wrong-un.
Good story. 3 stars

Sin Eater
by: Megan Campisi
Original premise, but with a mystery that is a bit obtuse. My full review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I just finished off the third novel in the D.C. Quartet by George Pelecanos ("The Sweet Forever") and have started on the final novel entitled "Shame The Devil".



Finished Bordersnakes by James Crumley. Not among his best works but if you are a hard boiled fan, it might be worth it. Rating - 3/5
My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just started Auntie Poldi and the Sicilian Lions by Mario Giordano I was looking for something with some humor and I think this is a good choice.

Welcome, James. : ) It's a lively group here, and if you're anything like me, you'll find many new-to-you authors and titles to add to your TBR list.


That sounds interesting, Barbara.

Welcome and The Sweet Forever is one of the better Pelecanos books. Shame the Devil will be a step down.


When her almost ex-husband is murdered, elementary school teacher Elle Harrison is the prime suspect. To add to her troubles, Charlie's ghost seems to be hanging around.
Fun entertaining cozy. 3 stars

I love that book, but it's like The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: you can only read it once.

Maggie O'Dell #3, OK to read as stand-alone. Maggie is an FBI profiler on the hunt for a serial killer. Kava's structure of the book is to alternate chapters featuring Maggie, her partner, her friend, her mother, a news photographer, a cult member, etc. So the forward thrust of the plot and of the tension is continually interrupted. Plus, Kava's descriptive ability is no better than average. 2 stars.

A dark, historical mystery. Here’s my four star review:

Stephanie Plum #18, OK to read as stand-alone. Stephanie continues her hunt for the latest bunch of FTA's, this time a bit stranger than usual. She's aided by Diesel and Carl. Carl's a monkey. I liked this one a lot, 4 stars.
