Finished Drunk on a Boat by Zane Mitchell, 5 stars. Starting Foreign Deceit by Jeff Carson.

[PattyMacDotComma]

I didn't know Daphne du Maurier wrote this kind of entertaining, historical romance. Frenchman's Creek is a light, atmospheric bodice-ripper in which no bodices are seen to be ripped.

Pirates, lords and ladies, Cornwall!

Finished Murder on St. Mark's Place by Victoria Thompson. #2 in the Gaslight series with midwife Sarah Brandt & Detective Malloy seeking a serial killer. 3 star solid storyline.

Miracle in the Andes by Nando Parrado

Although not a mystery, this story of survival under extreme conditions was a nonfiction thriller. It also seemed more harrowing because the author, one of the survivors, provided his thoughts and feelings about the situation.

Couple Found Slain: After a Family Murder by Mikita Brottman

This non-fiction book is about Brian Bechtold, who killed his parents and was put into a mental institution instead of prison. Brian would rather have gone to jail, because an asylum can keep you forever.

Interesting and informative book. 3.5 stars

Rumpole is such a great character. 🙂

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Am a bit behind, finished The Missing Children - first in the series, I enjoyed it and glad I have the second in the series. Then read Something Wicked - another first in series, but not as enjoyable. Then read Dead Letter Drop - this was the first book Peter James had published and published the year I was born, but it doesn't live up to his Grace series, or his later standalone books. Now reading Look For Me, 20% in and enjoying.

Rumpole reminds me that one year PBS was doing a pledge drive and they had run every episode that was made while they were doing so. I called with my pledge, and in return I got a bumper sticker that read "She Who Must Be Obeyed." I put it on my car, and it stayed there until someone asked me if I was into bondage after seeing the bumper sticker. It was gone the next day.

I liked the film too, despite the criticism by King fans. For what it was, it was creepy.

The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie King

First in a series -- very well done follow-up Sherlock Holmes story set in 1915, with the addition of a young lady friend. Told from her perspective. I'm not a great Holmes fan but I liked the book quite a bit -- 4 stars.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break)]

I'm rereading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

[Lance]

The Flight Attendant takes a promising premise and buries it under unsympathetic characters and balky plotting. The flashes of authorial skill that surface now and then are enough to put my rating a smidge over 2.5 stars which, sadly, must round up to three.

Read the full review here.

[Sharlene]

I'm in the middle of 'False Gods' in the WarHammer series. A pretty good build-up, and very character-driven.

[Thomas]

I read Next to Last Stand by Craig Johnson I have now read 18 books by Johnson and enjoyed every single one. I recommend this police procedural series to those of you who like mysteries with humor.
