The Dain Curse by Dashiell Hammett
Rating: 2 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
and I started reading the book that was the basis for the 1987 Kevin Costner film No Way Out as well as two other older film versions

The Big Clock by Kenneth Fearing


Yes but no. I'm getting a book for Christmas, but I ordered it. Long story short, it's been an expensive year so my husband and I didn't buy much for each other (by agreement). I gave him a puzzle and asked him if he could give me the book I'd ordered, which was fine with him. It's Dead Girl Fighting by Ann M. Noser which is the sequel to a book I recently read.
My book hasn't arrived yet, but I have plenty to read in the meantime.

I'm surprised this isn't talked about more. So heartbreaking but I'm loving it.

The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest by Dan Buettner

The Last Devil to Die is the 4th by Richard Osman in the Thursday Murder Club series.
More emotional than its predecessors now that readers have formed an attachment to the geriatric Fab Four.

Guests of the Ayatollah: The First Battle in America's War With Militant Islam by Mark Bowden.
This is a comprehensive recounting of the 444-days takeover of the US Embassy in Iran in 1979-1981. It read easily, like a crime thriller.

I finally have perfect time to read it for the first time!
It's a polish hardback edition of The Secret History by Donna Tartt with an amazing cover.
