Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9974 comments Off the Grid Off the Grid (Monkeewrench, #6) by P.J. Tracy by P.J. Tracy

In this 6th book in the 'Monkeewrench' series, Grace MacBride and her colleagues are in a race against time to stop terrorist attacks. The book can be read as a standalone though familiarity with the characters is a plus.

OK thriller. 3 stars

Araych | 677 comments A Blind Eye A Blind Eye (Frank Corso, #3) by G.M. Ford by G. M. Ford

Frank Corso #3, OK to read as stand-alone. Frank and Meg track a female serial killer. A real page-turner altho I felt the Meg character was under-used and the finale rested on a coincidence, and I hate it when the author relies on a coincidence. 3 stars.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9974 comments Salvation of a Saint Salvation of a Saint (Detective Galileo, #2) by Keigo Higashino by Keigo Higashino

In this 5th book in the 'Detective Galileo' series, the Japanese police look into the death of a rich businessman. The book can be read as a standalone.

Clever puzzle mystery. 3 stars

I've finished reading Chaos: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties, by Tom O'Neill. The author sets out to debunk Bugliosi's "Helter Skelter" race war motive behind the 1969 killings, and ends up places I wouldn't have thought possible. :) It's also about his experiences as he does his research and tries to put it all together.

About to begin An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser, and still working on Conrad's Nostromo, which I am enjoying very much.

After this, it's easy summer fare. I am so ready to not think for a while. At least not too much.

When he stays on topic it's a pretty good book with all kinds of new information that was either left out intentionally by the prosecution or by the various police agencies. He sort of digresses in a couple of chapters towards the end until he reins himself back in again.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9974 comments The Skin Collector The Skin Collector (Lincoln Rhyme, #11) by Jeffery Deaver by Jeffery Deaver

In this 11th book in the 'Lincoln Rhyme' series, the quadriplegic forensic scientist is after a sadistic serial killer who kills with poison tattoos. The book can be read as a standalone.

Very good mystery/thriller. 4 stars

Aditya | 2017 comments Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy

Finished Blood Meridian, or the Evening Redness in the West by Cormac McCarthy. First time rating a book without finishing it. I know it is considered a modern classic but I found it awful. Childishly violent without any depth. Rating - 1/5

Sorry you didn't care for that one, Aditya. I loved it. I thought it had a great deal of depth as well as purpose. Violent, yes, but then again, consider the time period.

I saw your rating in friend's rating section, unfortunately did not work for me at all.

This book contains 16 true tales about gruesome and unusual murders. Just the ticket for true crime fans. 3.5 stars

Araych | 677 comments Paragon Walk Paragon Walk (Charlotte & Thomas Pitt, #3) by Anne Perry by Anne Perry

Charlotte and Thomas Pitt #3, OK to read as stand-alone. Pitt and his wife investigate rape and murder among the residents of a high-class street in Victorian London. I felt the characters were not well differentiated from each other and that the book just went along a bit slowly. Not my cup of tea, 2 stars.

PattyMacDotComma | 920 comments A new series that I think kids would enjoy as well. (Who doesn't love a dog?) The Finders-(Mace Reid K-9 Mystery, #1) by Jeffrey B. Burton is about a special dog (and her owner, of course, plus a potential love interest).

I have enjoyed the Pitt series but well-spaced apart as they seem too similar. I like her Monk series much better.
