[Woman Reading]

The Honourable Schoolboy by John le Carré. It's #2 in the Karla trilogy and one not to skip for those who have read Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. There's an evocative sensation of time and place, but the themes are timeless.

Hose Monkey by Tony Spinosa

Tough, gritty adventure mystery about a disgraced ex-cop involved in racketeering and murder. The author is really Reed Farrel Coleman. I liked it but it's pretty hard core. 3 stars.

Squeeze Me by Carl Hiaasen

In this comic novel by Carl Hiaasen (set in the Trump era), a POTUS-supporting socialite goes missing in Palm Beach, leading to unpredictable repercussions.

Plenty of fun characters. 3.5 stars

In this debut novel by Anne Mette Hancock, a journalist receives letters from a wanted murderer. These hint at a connection between the author of the letters and the journalist; what could it be?

I loved Trent Dalton's first book (Boy Swallows Universe), which was largely autobiographical. There's no question he can write.

All Our Shimmering Skies is good, but I was spoiled by what I know he is capable of.

My review of The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien by Georges Simenon. 4.5 stars

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

Next book by Simenon is The Blue Room.

[CBRetriever]

his books oughta keep you in reading for several years:

A prolific author who published nearly 500 novels and numerous short works (descriptor of Simenon on Wikipedia)

[PattyMacDotComma]

I just enjoyed Kopp Sisters on the March by Amy Stewart, number five in the series. It's April 1917, just before America enters WW1, and the sisters are off to army camp with another colourful character.

I've just finished The Guest House



A surprise in more than one way! Here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Patty]

Bill, The Blue Room is an excellent book. I hope you enjoy it.

Murder in the Museum by Simon Brett

Fethering Mysteries #4, OK to read as a stand-alone. I'm reading this series roughly in order and this is the weakest of the series. Jude has a boyfriend and so the ladies pursue the murder mystery separately. 2 stars, you can safely skip this one.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Busy weekend reading, finished Wool Gathering, I like these collections with 'human' stories rather than the animal ones, despite the author being a farmer. Also finished The Corfu Trilogy, another enjoyable read. I also read a whole book (admittedly, a lot shorter than my normal ones) The Moving Finger - only 3*, a good Agatha Christie, but not a good Marple. Started The Mothman Prophecies for the bathroom book, and will start Killing Floor next

I read that one a few years ago. The movie version is an underappreciated gem.

Magician (The Riftwar Saga, #1-2) by Feist, Raymond E.

all the rest are SF&F

and I reread Entry Island by Peter May for the monthly book discussion

I'm now on to An Event in Autumn by Henning Mankell

The Guns of August wasn't what I was expecting as I thought it would be about the events leading up to WWI but it was about the first 30 days of the war. I learned a lot of history that I didn't know, was appalled by brutality in war and now have more of an understanding as to why France capitulated during WII. It was a long heavy read which is why it took me so long to get through.

The Woman They Could Not Silence: One Woman, Her Incredible Fight for Freedom, and the Men Who Tried to Make Her Disappear by Kate Moore

This is a true story. Elizabeth Packard was committed to an insane asylum by her husband in 1860 over a disagreement about religious beliefs. She went on to fight for women's rights and asylum reform.

Good book. 4 stars

My Review

[PattyMacDotComma]

I just enjoyed the thought-provoking second book of the Monkeewrench mystery series, Live Bait by mother-daughter duo P.J. Tracy. As if the concentration camp hadn't been bad enough, a Holocaust survivor is murdered. I'm glad there are more of these to look forward to!
