The Trail to Buddha's Mirror by Don Winslow

Neal Carey #2. Carey falls in love with a beautiful Chinese woman who may or may not be a spy. Many complicated adventures ensue. I never liked or believed in the Carey character although the book is well written with several entertaining pieces.

My Review

In this addition to the 'Mrs. Murphy' mysteries, amateur sleuth Harry Haristeen is concerned about drug deaths in her county.

As always, the talking animals add fun to the story. 3.5 stars

My review of Death by Chocolate Marshmallow Pie by Sarah Graves

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

[Damo]

A cannibal as the protagonist of a crime thriller? Yes, it can work if you're prepared to get on board and accept his weirdness. Hideout is the 3rd book in the Timothy Blake series and it's another stomach-turner.

My review of - Hideout by Jack Heath

I finished my 30th book

Twelve Dogs of Christmas by David Rosenfelt

Andy Carpenter #15. Martha is an elderly lady whose main concern is the welfare of the dogs and puppies she shelters and rehomes.
Andy is hired to defend her from a triple murder charge. I like the series and this one is very good -- 4 stars.

[PattyMacDotComma]

I loved Max Porter's latest novel, Shy and the boy for whom it is titled. Shy retreats into music at The Last Chance School to escape his memories. It's a wonderful, short gem of a book.
5★ My review of Shy

[PattyMacDotComma]

Kelly Link's new collection of seven stories, White Cat, Black Dog: Stories, is based on old folk and fairy tales. I can see why she's so popular. The ones I liked, I really liked. Others - not so much.
3★ My review of White Cat, Black Dog with a link to 'The New Yorker' article about both the book and its author

I finished


Death Comes for the Archbishop by Willa Cather
Rating: 4 stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Not a mystery or thriller, just a really good book.

[Araych]

Secrets Typed in Blood by Stephen Spotswood

Pentecost and Parker #3, series probably best (but not mandatory) read in order. This is the best of the series so far. For those who don't know, this series is a slightly inferior reimagining of the Nero Wolfe/Archie Goodwin series with female protagonists. It's not inferior because they're women; it's inferior because Spotswood isn't Rex Stout. But anyway, 4 stars.

[Liz]

Singg Her Down is one of my favorites of the year. My five star review:

Nero Wolfe is my favorite. 😀

[PattyMacDotComma]

Fractured Oak is an unusual and entertaining mystery with an oak tree as a key witness who can't testify. Author Dannie Boyd mixes magical realism with a good police story and it works.
3.5~4★ My review of Fractured Oak

[PattyMacDotComma]

If John Boyne had invented all of this, people might say it's too far-fetched, but, in fact, Crippen is based on a true story. A creepy 'doctor' and a curious tale.
3.5~4★ My review of Crippen

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

The Joy and Light Bus Company by Alexander McCall Smith

In this addition to the 'No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' series - set in Gaborone, Botswana - Mma Precious Ramotswe and her colleague Mma Grace Makutsi address a variety of concerns.

I've been auditioning books for my IRL book group and just finished one that will definitely be on the list: The Followers by Rebecca Wait.

[Damo]

I finally got around to reading The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson and now understand the praise I'd heard about. I crime story filled with anti-heroes and unexpected twists.

Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Liz]

I am adoring the DC Smith series, especially the 6th, The Rags of Time. My four star review:

[Randy]

Randy wrote: "I thought I'd step away from mysteries for a while and started White Horse by Erika T. Wurth and, whattaya know, it's kind of a mystery, with a ghost. "

Turned out, it was definitely a mystery, the protagonist had to solve. With a ghost pushing her along the way. Solid first novel. If you like ghost/horror stories, I'd put this about on a par with Joe Hill's first novel, Heart-Shaped Box.

Now, for something completely different, American Hippo by Sarah Gailey.

[Araych]

To Kingdom Come by Will Thomas

Barker & Llewelyn #2, recommend you read #1 first. Not a mystery--it's a thriller. London 1884. Rather Holmes and Watson territory. Barker and Llewelyn are hired by the Home Office to stop Irish nationalist from blowing up London buildings. This is an entertaining series with lots of interesting details about the time and place. I liked it a lot -- 4 stars.

[Thomas]

I read The Wind Knows My Name by Isabel Allende I enjoyed it and recommend it to fans of the author and historical fiction fans. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Daughter of Auschwitz and Just After Sunset

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Couldn't help myself after finishing The Followers, a novel which focuses on a particular (fictional) cult in England -- in the cult-reading mode, I started the new book about David Koresh: Koresh: The True Story of David Koresh and the Tragedy at Waco.

I'll also be starting Kurkov's Grey Bees for another group's group read.

[Barbara]

The Lost by Jeffrey B. Burton

In this addition to the 'Mace Reid K-9 Mystery Series', cadaver dog trainer Mace Reid gets involved in a murder/abduction case.

The book is an engaging thriller with a big dose of humor. 3.5 stars
