I finished the second book in the Sherlockian "IQ" series:


Righteous by Joe Ide
Rating: 4 stars

and I started reading the prequel to The Shadow of the Wind:


The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

[Araych]

The William Powell and Myrna Loy Murder Case by George Baxt

Hollywood's Golden Age Mysteries #11. Title says it all, another entry in the series ( Greta Garbo, Bette Davis, etc.). Liked this one a lot, lots of witty banter and an interesting plot. 4 stars, recommended.

I started and finished Nothing But Blackened Teeth today. I preordered it in January and was so excited to read this book and for me it totally tanked. I have to say I wasn't at all happy.

Just finished The Man With The Getaway Face by Richard Stark, a Parker novel.

Read a few of these Parker novels a few years ago. While my tastes have change since then, it still was an enjoyable read after getting into the book a bit. For me, it started slow and finished very interesting. These novels are crime novels and Parker is a career criminal. Albeit with a couple of caveats. Parker has scruples. It's not that he won't kill, but, does it only when he deems it necessary. Which, of course, is more often than you or I would, but, still less than his contemporaries. I will read more of this series.

Next up, back to The Expanse series with Babylon's Ashes by James S.A. Corey. I'm really liking this series and still think the books are better than the TV series.

A Taste for Poison: Eleven Deadly Molecules and the Killers Who Used Them by Neil Bradbury

'A Taste For Poison' is a compendium of eleven well-known poisons, familiar to fans of mystery fiction as well as true crime aficionados. For each substance, Bradbury describes its provenance, how it works, and its use by a killer.

Interesting (and kind of fun). 3.5 stars

The Crossing Places by Elly Griffiths

First book in the Ruth Galloway series. I like the way Griffiths writes and I'm a big fan of her Magic Men series but this one is a bit weaker. I liked the character Nelson the detective but he and his fellow cops are idiots. A whole bunch of stuff gets missed that shouldn't but still, it's very entertaining and I'll continue with the series. 3 stars.

After all the commotion at my house is over, I'm going to sit and do nothing but read for days, this book included.

[Randy]

It's enjoyable, in part because the authors show respect but are not adverse to some irreverence. It's a quick read, too, but I don't know that I'd suggest bingeing.

[PattyMacDotComma]

What a fantastic cover and what an odd book. The 1800s were full of fortune-hunters, in all senses of the word, all over the world. Fortune by Lenny Bartulin is wild historical fiction.
4.5★ Link to my review of Fortune

Finally! I have met Sebastian St. Cyr! His first adventure, in What Angels Fear by C.S. Harris, is an atmospheric murder mystery in 19th century England.

Finished reading Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy

by Nathaniel Philbrick

My Review

[Eva]

Finished Revival this morning and... meh... :(

The writing is, as always, amazing. But the story itself just wasn't doing anything for me really. There were definitely the classic King-moments where you sit on the edge of your seat and NOT wanting to know what comes next, but I have read books of his that had those moments a lot more... and scarier. I enjoyed reading it, but it dragged on a bit at times where I was just waiting and witing and waiting for that next shocking moment.

The ending was good, but also a bit of an anti-climax.

Giving it 3 stars:

Finshed A Morning for Flamingos by James L. Burke. It is #4 in his excellent Dave Robicheaux series. 4 stars.

Now reading THE NIGHT AND THE MUSIC by Lawrence Block, a collection of his short stories featuring unlicensed NYC private investigator Matthew Scudder. I managed to find a hardcover edition for my personal library a few weeks ago.

My Review"

I love the Joe Pickett series by C.J. Box. Are there any recommendations on his Highway Quartet series?

[CBRetriever]

I liked the Highway series, but the TV series based on it, Big Sky, only vaguely resembles the books.

I do that too. Is your house as full of books as mine is?

Let's put it this way: my husband tells people that if the Library of Congress can't find a book, they call me. Every room in my home has bookshelves lining walls and completely filled (with some in stacks on the floor in my office) except my husband's office & the 4 bathrooms (although if I could figure out a way to make that happen, I probably would.
