Finished reading Angel Killer

My Review

[Araych]

High Midnight by Stuart Kaminsky

Toby Peters #6. It's 1942 in L.A. Some mobsters from Chicago are pressuring Gary Cooper to do a movie he doesn't want to do so he calls Toby and the bodies start piling up. I thought this was one of the better entries in the series. It all seems like fun and games but you've got to keep your eye on the plot. 4 stars..

Mother Daughter Traitor Spy was a mixed bag for me. Interesting story but a flat writing style. My 3 star review:

[Woman Reading]

Few of us like to be typecasted, even Dame Agatha Christie who had found early success with her mystery novels. She had additional writing desires to placate and thus the pseudonym Mary Westmacott was born.

The Rose and the Yew Tree was her psychological story of redemption.

Mick Herron's Slough House series is the perfect mix of political intrigue, action, and humour. Here the Slow Horses are up against some Bad Actors indeed. Love it!

The Furies by John Connolly

Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Bachelorette Party was not very good, The Accident could also been a better book, but The Furies was extremely good!

My review - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I've just finished reading a nonfiction book, We Carry Their Bones: The Search for Justice at the Dozier School for Boys by Erin Kimmerle. If you've read Colson Whitehead's The Nickel Boys, you'll recognize the name. So good, but now it's back to a light read.

[Jan C]

I've just finished Inspector Imanishi Investigates by Seichō Matsumoto. I liked it but the ending seemed a bit abrupt, at least to me.

[Chris]

I finished Murder in the Marais by Cara Black. Enjoyable & interesting beginning of a series that was written in 1999.

Murder Through the English Post by Jessica Ellicott ⭐⭐⭐.6 https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[PattyMacDotComma]

The current FBI stories have reminded me of the Bureau's connection with First Nations Peoples, whose treatment around the world is also much in the news.

David Grann of 'The New Yorker' wrote Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. I am still furious about this case, as I'm sure most readers would be.

5★ My review with a couple of photos

A Dead Man in Barcelona by Michael Pearce

Seymour of the Yard #5. It's 1912 and a prominent English businessman has died in prison in Barcelona. Mr. Seymour is dispatched by Scotland Yard to find out why he was in prison and why he died. As you can imagine the case becomes a bit complicated. This is a well-done entertaining entry in the series, I liked it.

Edge Of Dusk

Finished reading Picture You Dead by Peter James


A good addition to this series: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Late last night I finished reading Nightcrawling by Leila Mottley. Started out very strong, but somewhere along the line it started to falter. However, the author is very young and I'm sure her writing will become more developed as time goes on. I'm thinking a 3.5 or somewhere between 3 and 3.5. I'm in Philadelphia airport on my way home, so it will be tomorrow or Wednesday before I can post about it.

by the way, I'm not going to keep this book, so if anyone in the US would like it, I'm happy to give it to you.

Just finished up The Maidens. Had some good twists and turns and kept you guessing about "who done it".

[Randy]

A bit of a mystery in this one, and very much a Gothic, fantasy novel: The Path of Thorns by A.G. Slatter. Excellent
