The movie was great. Very tense thriller. I think I've read the book, but it was many moons ago.

I just finished reading Riley Sager's The Last Time I Lied, it was quite a satisfying read.

[Woman Reading]

Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty by Patrick Radden Keefe. I'm only moderately interested in the opioid crisis. I read this because I had really enjoyed his Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland. And Keefe once again delivered a story about crimes that go unpunished and the background history which enabled that.

Now starting THE UNWILLING by John Hart, his newest stand-alone crime fiction novel set in Charlotte, North Carolina. The author has racked up twelve nominations for the top awards in mystery, thriller, and crime fiction and won back-to-back Edgar Awards. He rarely fails to please.

I actually preferred the book to the film in this case, but then again, I generally do.

Mummy’s Little Secret by M.A. Hunter

Wheelchair-bound Jess suspects her new acquaintance Morag abducted the little girl she's raising.

Good mystery for armchair detectives. 3.5 stars

Hounded by David Rosenfelt

Andy Carpenter #12, OK to read as a stand-alone. Andy's friend, Detective Pete Stanton is unjustly accused of murder and Andy must defend him.. I thought this story was overly complicated and a bit over the top but otherwise very likable and fun to read. 3.5 to 4 stars.

[Dem]

Finished The Witch of Willow Hall

I'm enjoying it so far. Flying through it, actually. I've seen the film a long time ago and liked it so I know what's going on but I'm enjoying it regardless.

We've had a bit of a mini-crisis at home the last few days that's sort of left me a bit mentally flat, but I did manage to finish Puzzle for Players by Patrick Quentin (1938). Have you ever read one of those novels where you think "just please just be over?" That's how I felt about this one. Didn't guess the who so I have to give the author some credit. Also started Death in the House of Rain, a locked-room mystery from Taiwan, and I've once again gone back to Damon Galgut's The Promise.

My Review

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I'm on the edge of finishing Death in the House of Rain. The impossible crimes angle is pretty awesome, and since I couldn't sleep right away last night, I laid there and try to imagine how they were done. I came up with one idea that made me laugh out loud, but I seriously doubt that I actually came up with the solution. The characters are really strange and the book reads a bit on the YA side at times with some pretty silly dialogue.

Congrats! I finished my GR reading challenge at 80. I guess I'll stop reading now ....

[CBRetriever]

finished Blood Shot by Sara Paretsky which was pretty good. It was set in Chicago as are most of the Warshawski series and deals with several intertwined mysteries

and then started on The Coldest Case by Martin Walker starring my favorite French policeman: Bruno in a case of a 30 year old cold case

[Liz]

I just finished The Corpse Flower

Catch Us The Foxes by Aussie author Nicola West is a twisty, complicated thriller with a good premise and great atmosphere. It eventually got too weird for me.
2.5~3★ Link to my Catch Us The Foxes review

I've been waffling back and forth on reading this one. The cat talks, right? That's the sticking point for me.

Hey There (You With the Gun in Your Hand) by Robert Randisi

Rat Pack Mystery #2, OK to read as a stand-alone. It's 1961, Sammy Davis Jr. has a blackmail problem and turns to Eddie Gianelli for help. Fun, easy to read mystery involving the Rat Pack and the Kennedy Clan. I like the series and I liked this entry.

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

I finished an excellent audiobook - a hard-boiled detective story set in pre-WWII Berlin (very violent, be warned):
