Just finished Die Trying. I am still about halfway through Tango Uniform and still about 100 pages into Here Be Dragons but I once again have a copy of the book.

A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them.


Neil Bradbury wrote an interesting blend of hard science and accounts of poisoners from the 19th through 21st centuries and sprinkled them with allusions to writers such as Agatha Christie.

Enjoyably exciting - not perfect but still 5 stars.

Tell Me an Ending by Jo Harkin

[Woman Reading]

Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets by Svetlana Alexievich, who had received the Nobel Prize in Literature shortly after this book's publication.

This nonfiction is a compilation of oral histories documenting momentous periods in the 20th century history of the USSR and of the aftermath of its dissolution in 1991. Plenty of criminal acts but without the justice delivered in crime fiction.

This was a little out of my comfort zone, a little too contrived but 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because it was entertaining

[Woman Reading]

Few of us like to be typecasted, even Dame Agatha Christie who had found early success with her mystery novels. She had additional writing desires to placate and thus the pseudonym Mary Westmacott was born.

The Rose and the Yew Tree was her psychological story of redemption.
