Coincidentally, I finished that book this very afternoon!! I love Decadence literature; French mainly but..."
thanks for the link!

I so enjoyed the Rabbi Small series. I think I read them all except the last one that I could never get my hands on!

I thought it was quite the morality tale!!


Jack Reacher #2, OK to read as stand-alone. Reacher gets hooked up with a right-wing militia. It's a Reacher story; you either like them or you don't. I do. 4 stars.

Now I'm jumping back into the thriller genre with A Mother's Lie by Sarah Zettel.

Next in line is A New Lease Of Death by Ruth Rendell


In this 8th book in the 'Rizzoli and Isles' series, medical examiner Maura Isles finds a body while she's in Wyoming for a medical conference. The book can be read as a standalone.
The plot isn't quite believable. 2 stars

I am really enjoying the description of life in Jersualem and the differences in the Jewish traditions. I do have to keep remembering that it was published in 1969 though.

Petra Connor #2, OK to read as stand-alone. Female LAPD detective and brainy intern unearth a previously unknown serial killer. Dynamite mystery featuring great characters and a tension-filled plot that speeds along at 100 miles per hour. Loved it -- 5 stars.




Given in Evidence by Rob Parker and others.

In this first book in the 'Bone' series, a man is dead and a toddler is missing. A lawyer and a former FBI agent try to figure out what happened.
Okay mystery, but stretches credibility. 3 stars

Doesn't work on the app, unfortunately.
I am about to start a mystery novel from 1935 calledThe Hex Murder: A Golden-Age Mystery Reprint, published by Coachwhip, which is one of the best indie publishers for golden-age fiction that is completely out of the ordinary mainstream. (Dean Street Press is another). Part of the background of this book is a real-life case in Pennsylvania where three men killed another man, believing that he was a witch and that he had put a spell on one of them. This happened, believe it or not, in 1928.
