In my opinion this one is the best of the series so far, and I was fine with the 900+ pages. Enjoy your reading!

I always like the Buzz Books, by Publishers Lunch, which publish the first chapters or excerpts from dozens of upcoming books and are free for anyone to download and read.

Buzz Books 2021:Fall/Winter includes selections from famous established authors and some wonderful debuts. There's also non-fiction and Young Adult. I've included a smattering of samples of a few that appeal to me.

Broken Homes by Ben Aaronovitch

Rivers of London #4, read #1 first. Wonderful entry in a wonderful series -- sort of Harry Potter grew up and joined the cops. Modern day English police procedural, with humor, and magic is real. So of course the crooks use it just like they'd use a getaway car. This entry has a twist ending I didn't see coming and neither will you. 5 stars.

The thing is that I didn't order it, so it was a surprise. I can't even begin to describe this book, but it's really very good -- in some spots laugh out loud funny. I see myself giving copies of this book to a few people I know who would appreciate it.

Murder is the Deal of the Day by Robert Randisi & Christine Matthews

Women are being murdered and Claire Hunt, star of Home Shopping Network and her husband Gil start out as semi-suspects and end up trying to emulate Hart to Hart. Book is sort of a romantic cozy, not written at a very high level. 2 stars, not recommended.

[Woman Reading]

The Last Time She Died by Zoë Sharp, one of my favorite authors.

Her newest protagonist holds so much potential and intrigue as a main character!

Finished Bewilderment, by Richard Powers, which is on the shortlist for the Booker Prize, and which, by the way, as of yesterday became the newest title in Oprah's book club. It was different. One more to go -- No One Is Talking About This, by Patricia Lockwood.

currently involved in reading The Villa and the Vortex: Selected Supernatural Stories, 1914-1934 by Elinor Mordaunt and Flowers for Algernon as a sort of companion read to Bewilderment.

[PattyMacDotComma]

The Rowland Sinclair historical mystery series is terrific. He and friends travel around the world "between the wars" (WWI & WWII), chasing Nazis, dodging gangsters, mixing with the rich and famous (which Rowly is himself). Cameos: JFK, Errol Flyyn, F. Scott Fitzgerald among others.

5★ link to my review of Where There's a Will

(known in Australia as A Testament of Character)

Best in Snow by David Rosenfelt
