I don't think I've said much more than the book blurb, but let me know if there is anything I should take out or hide when you've read the book yourself as I do hate to have anything that spoils the book for people. I do know what you mean about wanting to go in blind. I often don't read reviews until after I've read the book.
An enjoyable, if somewhat predictable, horse racing novel.Cactus Jack: A Novel by Brad Smith

Will do, Carolyn! I like to read the blurb, then forget everything about it, because for some books the blurb tells a lot of the story. I'll check back once I've read it. :)

(Back on tablet, new phone for transfer of thoughts and review just kept referring to the App....12.20am gave up...doesn't matter I have always commented on books I've read so I remember that I have read them! )
Interlibrary Loan seemed like an intriguing read when I saw it listed on NetGalley, so I first read, and really enjoyed, A Borrowed Man. But unfortunately, this sequel, Gene Wolfe’s last book before he died, is lacking any proper resolution in the final chapters, giving it an unfinished feel. Sadly, a disappointing sequel.3★s

My review of
The Lantern Men, #12 in Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thanks to Carolyn for a review that made me want to read the first book in Victoria Helen Stone's Jane Doe series, Jane Doe. Thanks to Wollongong City Libraries for listening to my "suggest to purchase". I am looking forward to more of this brilliantly dark protagonist and luckily I have #2, Problem Child right here.5★s

Your link goes to the book Sharon, not the review (I'm glad I'm not the only one who sometimes does this!)
