That is sad, Renee. Do you ever get to choose the book for your group? I mix it up in my book group so that the books don't get stale.

That's really awful. I love the women in my book group as well.

I'm reading The Tartar Steppe, by Dino Buzzati (whose book Catastrophe: And Other Stories is one of my all-time favorites. I've no idea what to read after this one.



Ben Abbott #3, OK to read as a stand-alone. Wow, what a dynamite mystery (that's a joke, dynamite plays a big part in the plot). Great characters and the plot just carries you along at top speed as Ben gets put in the middle of a feud between an old New England farmer and his rich neighbor. 5 stars, highly recommended.



Pretty sure you were referring to The Outsider
The Outsiders is a YA novel by SE HintonThe Outsiders


Finished ⭐⭐⭐.2

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I understand. A group of my friends started a book group, their choices and the fact that they enjoyed the books so much led me to question the basis of our friendship so now I steer clear of bookclub.


Finished Lady in the Lake by Laura Lippman. Great character driven crime novel. Rating - 4/5
My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...


In this 4th book in the 'Kat Holloway' series, the cook/amateur sleuth searches for several missing children. The book works fine as a standalone.
Plenty of action and suspense. 3.5 stars

Every Dead Thing by John Connolly


Virgil Cain #2, OK to read as a stand-alone. Virgil just wants to be left alone but gets pulled into the search for a big shipment of cocaine missing for 7 years. 3 stars, good but not great.

Scott, 3.5 stars is a good rating from me. (I save 4 and 5 stars for books that I find exceptional for one reason or another.)
Glad you like the review. 😊

I loved the TV show. We still have the sound track somewhere.

Excellent historical fiction/mystery series.. When I checked it out at the library, the clerk told me "This is a really good series."

Two more read. I am making the most of my time before I have to start back to work.

Stephanie Plum #9, OK to read as a stand-alone. Further adventures of Stephanie Plum, Jersey girl bounty hunter. Not the best in the series but still fun. 3 stars.
