I've just finished a really good nonfiction read, The Gold Machine: In the Tracks of the Mule Dancers, by Iain Sinclair. Now about to start Born of No Woman by Franck Bouysse.

Chris | 316 comments Just finished JL Burke's Black Cherry Blues #3 in his Dave Robicheaux series, having missed this one before reading #4. Another 4 star read for me in this series and the complex character of the MC. Burke known for evocative descriptions of the La. bayou regions, has Robicheaux headed to Montana for most of the action and you can visualize that area and the people just as well.

Thomas (tom471) | 2003 comments I read Tin Badges by Lorenzo Carcaterra
It is a well done thriller with some unrealistic police procedures. My 3.5 star rating rounded down https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

PattyMacDotComma | 920 comments The Way it is Now, by Aussie author Garry Disher, is the latest addition to his popular mysteries. Small, unspoiled beach town, old disappearance (crime?), and old wounds make for good reading.
The Way it is Now by Garry Disher 4★ Link to my review of The Way it is Now

This was a very fun revenge fantasy thriller to read after much heavier fare.

message 2019: by Chris (new)

Chris | 316 comments Finished the cozy mystery Mystery of the White Knight by Charlotte MacLeod. Written in 1964, I suppose would be classified as a YA/teen novelette now as it has a very Nancy Drew vibe to it.

The President's daughter - a college coed- is kidnapped in this thriller.

Good fast-paced story with some interesting political intrigue.
4 stars

Woman Reading  (is away exploring) | 286 comments The Annotated Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov The Annotated Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Controversial and disquieting but deserving of its status as a classic and crime in the literary mode.

Araych | 676 comments The Rat Catchers' Olympics The Rat Catchers' Olympics (Dr. Siri Paiboun #12) by Colin Cotterill by Colin Cotterill

Dr. Siri #12, recommend some familiarity with the characters. It's 1980, the Olympics are in Moscow, the US and its allies are boycotting so there's room for a team from Laos. Naturally Dr. Siri finagles a spot and naturally there's a killer somewhere. Another wonderful Dr. Siri mystery, great series. 4 stars.
