I watched the pre-code film made from that book yesterday, The Ninth Guest (1934). Follows the book pretty closely except that the powers that be added an extra character for the movie, an assistant butler whose only function in the film was (I think) to provide comic relief.

The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley

Clearly, Foley plotted a great deal to write this mystery. It fell a bit short but was very entertaining.

Read The Locked Room

Now starting AN OFFICER AND A SPY by Robert Harris. Published back in 2013, it won the British Steel Dagger Award as the Best Thriller Novel of the Year and was nominated for the U.S. Macavity and Barry Awards in the same category.

The book is a novelization of the Alfred Dreyfus affair that rocked the French Army back in 1895 and exposed widespread corruption within its ranks. Dreyfus was falsely court martialed for treason and spend several years on Devil’s Island in French Guiana before evidence came to light that he was innocent.

I have read four of Harris’ other novels (ARCHANGEL, MUNICH, THE GHOST, and V2) and really enjoyed them. After I finish off this book I think I will start hunting for some of his earlier stuff.

I only just missed Nikola Tesla's birthday (July 9) when I read the children's bio by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara. It's another in the great Little People BIG DREAMS series about historic figures.

Leavers, Schoolies, Spring Break - whatever you call it when kids on the brink of adulthood take off on their own - parents hope for the best.

Guess what? Town destination refused entry, so where to go? The Brink, Brink Island, an isolated island off the coast of Western Australia, of course. Western Australian author Holden Sheppard understands this place and these kids.

Death Of The Mantis

PattyMacDotCom how are both of your books going?

[Randy]

Just finished The Supernatural Enhancements by Edgar Cantero. Review here, https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Now on the third story in Mostly Murder by Joe Gores. Gores was a frequent contributor to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, in which several of these stories were originally published, though he's probably best remembered for Hammett: A Novel, which was adapted into a mediocre film.

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Started rereading A Time to Kill for the group read. I'd forgotten about the part where he uses racial slurs on pretty much every page. Sheesh. Story good -- cringeworthy use of epithets not so good.

Finished reading A Time to Kill by John Grisham for the July group read. Now on to Razorblade Tears and Devil in a Blue Dress by Walter Mosley for this month's Reading the Movies choice.

[PattyMacDotComma]

In the Market for Murder by T.E. Kinsey finds amateur sleuths Lady Hardcastle and her maid, Armstrong, investigating why a local farmer died suddenly in the pub where they were lunching. Hardly the atmosphere they moved to the country for!

Death Of The Mantis

[Araych]

Gumshoe in the Dark by Rob Leininger

Mortimer Angel #5, probably best to read series in order. I've read the whole series and this is by far the weakest entry. Almost the first half of the book is taken up with teasing, flirting, cute dialogue between Mort and a pretty girl. The plot is OK, its just that way too much of the book is wasted -- I found myself skipping whole pages of dialogue. 2 stars.

Upgrade by Blake Crouch

I hadn't originally intended to read this since it's off of the beaten track for me. But I ended up doing so because I had I received an invitation from the publisher. This was very good, and I need to prioritize more sci-fi thrillers.
