I’m reading by

[PattyMacDotComma]

Her Second Death (Bree Taggert #0.5) is a short-story prequel to Melinda Leigh's homicide detective Bree Taggert crime series. I had never read any of this author's work before, but I enjoyed this introduction enough to consider reading the series.

A Rising Man by Abir Mukherjee

Award-winning mystery set in Calcutta in 1919. Former Scotland Yard detective, newly in India, is presented with a murder and the only thing he has going for him is a loyal assistant. I liked the book, loved the atmosphere, 4 stars.

I've just finished reading Murder at the Brothel by Madison Vale, it was quite hard hitting and steamy, I really enjoyed it, just wish it had been a bit longer.

Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead by Elle Cosimano

While not as funny as the series' debut, it was good to catch up with Finlay and her antics.

Finished The Angel of the Crows by Katherine Addison. I found it enjoyable. She uses a variation on Holmes/Watson (Crow/Dr. Doyle) and takes some of the AC Doyle stories and re-configures them to a Victorian London in which vampires, werewolves, and far less pleasant beings co-exist, meantime examining the limits of deductive reasoning. I wouldn't call it a great fantasy, but the way in which she weaves the relationship between the two main characters, the needs of fleshing out her world, and the convergence of the duo with the most notorious murderer of the age is extremely clever and makes a satisfying read.

Now, better than half-way through Windy City Blues a collection of V. I. Warshawski stories by Sara Paretsky.

I enjoyed Aussie investigative journo John Bailey's second outing so much, State of Fear, that I'm now reading the third one! Tim Ayliffe is an excellent writer whose characters are hunting terrorists - right now!

Sandy how are both of your books going?

Currently reading Cross Creek by Marjorie Kennan Rawlings for this month's IRL book group meeting, and quite honestly, I'm not loving it. I'm probably going to be the only one in the group that doesn't gush over the book. As soon as the group meeting is over Thursday, I'll be picking up with my regular reading again and donate my copy of Cross Creek to the friends of the library.

Mrs. March by Virginia Feito

Good story. 4 stars

I'm reading The Second Sleep by Robert Harris


I picked it up a few weeks ago and I must say it's even more interesting than I thought. It's a very cleverly written story with layers upon layers. Pity that I only have 30-60 minutes a day reading time...

Started Past Life by David Mark

Finished the ⭐⭐.9 Outback Creed by Jonathan Macpherson. This would make a great movie. But for me the book has a little too much action and is short on subtlety. https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...

Nailed it -- "charming" is the perfect word for this book!

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Finished with Cross Creek and I was right -- no warm fuzzies for me. Loved the nature writing but after some time researching after reading it, I found out that a lot of stuff was made up and that despite her claim of being united with her fellow Cross Creek dwellers in hardship, that didn't happen. So disappointing, given that it's labeled as a memoir.

[CBRetriever]

finished Cold Company by Sue Henry. This is another series that I enjoy reading and I'm slowing adding the books to my Kindle Library so I can read them.

[Randy]

Reading a story collection, Windy City Blues by Sara Paretsky, all starring V. I. Warshawski. My chief complaint is the story-telling is so brisk and smart I've breezed through the book and only have about 20 pages left and I'd like more. Paretsky varies between serious and comic, so the tone of the collection doesn't become monotonous. I've only read Indemnity Only, so I guess i should consider pulling out another of her novels.

[CBRetriever]

keep on - they're all pretty good

Silverview by John le Carré
