I recently finished 52 Pick-Up by Elmore Leonard one of his earlier crime novels and a pretty good one

[Pam]

Just finished Joy Ellis' Solace House (Jackman & Evans #9) ... https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6...
Next to read will be her latest Matt Ballard (#5), Trick of the Night. I so love her writing.

I'm sure we've all been guilty of Keeping Up Appearances or worrying 'what will the neighbours think'. Aussie author Tricia Stringer gives us a group of older women in a small South Australian town who think they know all the town's secrets. HA! I can see why the author is so popular.
3.5★ My review of Keeping Up Appearances

I booted that person out of the group AND reported spam to support. Just keep flagging any spam -- the more reports to support the better.

Sea Castle is a departure from the norm of the series but good nonetheless. My four star review:

The Lindbergh Nanny by Mariah Fredericks

An account of the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby from the point of view of the nanny. Though the book is fiction, it's based on real people and real events.

Good book. 4 stars

I may get to 66 by New Year's Eve if I'm lucky. It's been a super busy and strange year, and we're ending it with my dog having a serious seizure and my sweet hubby getting covid during the first business trip in two years. I am hoping for a non-eventful 2023.

And because I may not be on as often for the next couple of weeks, a very Happy Holiday season to everyone.

The Bullet that Missed by Richard Osman

Thursday Murder Club #3, best to read series in order. I don't know how this guy does it -- each book is better than the last. Absolutely wonderful, highest recommendation, 5 stars.

[Araych]

The Horse You Came in On by Martha Grimes

Richard Jury #12. I like this series a lot; I've been reading the books in order. This is the first one I didn't like -- it's very confusing and reads like it was written by someone else; the style seems quite different to me. I quit halfway through - 1 star.

Thank you, Randy! We were just talking about this last night, how we've ended the already bad year with this cosmic joke. All we could do was laugh.

Our German shepherd is 8 years old now and the vet said he has creaky knees. He has to take two huge pills daily for the rest of his life.
My husband probably has Parkinson's...we'll meet his neurologist on 12/29 and find out for sure. He took both tests, MRI and DaT.

This is not a good Christmas for us and not a good year. Hoping that 2023 will be better again. Books are my only consolation right now.

All the best for your husband and your dog! ♥

Merry Christmas,

Chrissie

I'm sorry to hear about your family's troubles Christine. It's good you can get some consolation in books.

Best wishes for a better 2023.

[Mrs. Chief]

Currently reading JACKAL by Erin E. Adams.
I was nervous going into it with all the hype surrounding it cause I tend to have bad luck with most popularized books, but so far, I’m believing the hype. Hoping it keeps going at this pace. 🤞🏽

[Liz]

I just finished Marple . I wasn’t a big fan, as the content was very uneven and no story ranked higher than a four star. . My three star review:

Not a mystery but Friends fans might be interested

Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing by Matthew Perry

In this memoir Matthew Perry (who plays Chandler Bing on Friends) writes about his decades long struggle with drugs and alcohol.
