Fifty-Four Pigs by Philipp Schott

This first 'Dr. Bannerman Vet Mystery' is set in a frosty Canadian town in mid-winter. It features murder, theft, and a good sniffer dog.

Entertaining cozy mystery. 3.5 stars

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do by Ed Gorman

Sam McCain #6, set in 1962. The body of young woman is found in a wealthy man's house and McCain is tasked to solve the mystery. This is one of the better entries in the series -- I liked it quite a bit.

David Rosenfelt continues to entertain. Santa’s Little Yelpers is his latest. Four stars. My review:

Outfoxed by David Rosenfelt

Andy Carpenter #14. Andy's client, already in jail, escapes and now his wife is dead. Luckily he has a good lawyer. This is one of Rosenfelt's better efforts, I liked it a lot.

Finished an enjoyable cozy mystery ICED by Carol Higgins Clark

[PattyMacDotComma]

I've been reading some James Joyce stories and finding them easy to read, entertaining and thought-provoking. You don't need to be some kind of literary critic to enjoy them, although goodness knows they have been extensively studied (not by me 😊).

Araby is about a tongue-tied young boy's crush on his friend's sister. Delightful and bittersweet.
5★ My review of Araby

[PattyMacDotComma]

Another, longer James Joyce story is The Dead which takes place during Christmas/New Year's festivities in the early 1900s. Thought-provoking ending.
5★ My review of The Dead

"The Dead" is one of my favorite novellas. I should reread, since it's been several years.

False Value by Ben Aaronovitch

Rivers of London #8, series probably should be read in order or at least read #1 first. In this one Peter Grant is tasked to investigate a high-tech company and it's computer genius owner. Another wonderful entry in the series, 4.5 stars.

[James]

Now starting CAUGHT IN THE LIGHT by Robert Goddard, one of his older stand-alone thriller novels published back in 1998.

[Thomas]

I read The Lipstick Bureau by Michelle Gable It is a pleasant historical fiction book set in WWII Rome. The OSS has an office of Morale Operations, tasked with distributing black propaganda in occupied Europe. This book is loosely based on a real person who worked in that office.

[PattyMacDotComma]

Wilma Mankiller was some woman! Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara picked a remarkable Cherokee woman who rose from 'dirt-poor' to represent her Nation. It's another excellent addition to the Little People BIG DREAMS collection. I'm so glad I met her in this little book.
5★ My review of Wilma Mankiller with a few illustrations

[PattyMacDotComma]

Why would a nurse who is highly sought-after by an attentive, handsome, wealthy doctor ask to Make Me Disappear? This is Jessica Payne's debut thriller, and I think many thriller readers will enjoy it.

The Carnival is Over by Aussie author Greg Woodland is an excellent rural crime novel set in a small inland town where people are creating their own 'opportunities' and getting away with it.

The Ghost of Gracie Flynn by Joanna Morrison ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[PattyMacDotComma]

Outstanding. Thirty years after she won the 1993 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, Annie Proulx turned her passion for the natural world into an essay project that became Fen, Bog and Swamp: A Short History of Peatland Destruction and Its Role in the Climate Crisis.

She means it, and she's right: “In the end all humans will be ‘haunted by waters.’”
5★ My review of Fen, Bog and Swamp
