I just bought that one, so I will wait until I read it to look at your thoughts. Did you like it?

[PattyMacDotComma]

If you think the British royal family is in disarray now, just be thankful they aren't burning 'heretics' at the stake. 🔥 You didn't dare be out of favour with King Henry VIII.

I love the Matthew Shardlake historical mystery series by C.J. Sansom. Lamentation is #6.
4.5~5★ My review

Brighten your day with a starry night! Look Up at the Stars by Katie Cotton is a children's picture book where a little bear who wants a star finds his own light.

I recently read No Plan B by Lee Child


Pretty straightforward but I didn't see the end coming: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm currently reading The New Wilderness by Diane Cook
which was sent to me by my Secret Santa

and I'm also reading So Long, Chester Wheeler by Catherine Ryan Hyde

I read The Enchanted Suitcase by Helga Warren It is a memoir by a German soldier, assembled posthumously by his daughter. M y 3.5 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Christine]

This sounds very intriguing!
As it was just published this month, I'll wait half a year before trying to request it from our public library.
Thank you for the tip.

So far I've read mostly autobiographies by German war brides and Georg Gaertner's autobiography on his time as a POW and his flight from the camp in order to not get repatriated to now communist Poland by the end of WW II. He then lived for 40 years undetected in the US...an incredibly thrilling story.

It's been too long since I visited Three Pines, but I'm glad I made the effort. Although I prefer the hardboiled and noir end of the spectrum I find myself oddly drawn to this series.

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

You might think a book about chemists couldn't be comical, but you'd be wrong. This novel is wildly original and laugh-out-loud funny. It's about Elizabeth Zott, a chemist who has to negotiate male privilege and entitlement in the mid-1900s.

Very entertaining novel. 4.5 stars

Working my way through past Shamus Award finalists has thrown up the odd quality private investigator series from past decades. The Carl Wilcox series has been one such discovery.

Here's my review of - The Naked Liar by Harold Adams

[Christine]

Michael Allegretto received the Shamus award as well.

[PattyMacDotComma]

Ernest Hemingway was known for deceptively simple storytelling that can be surprisingly thought-provoking. This short story takes place late night in a Spanish cafe that is A Clean Well-Lighted Place.
5★ My review with a link to the story online

[PattyMacDotComma]

Sean Wilson's Gemini Falls is a small coal-mining town in 1930s Australia where a murder is being investigated near the shacks of depression-era homeless families, camped by the river. Obvious suspects, of course.

One of his best, right up there with "Hills Like White Elephants" and "The Killers."

Memorable, indeed, Randy.

[PattyMacDotComma]

Daniella Mestyanek Young has written a much-discussed story of her life in 'cults' - first a supposedly religious one, and then the US Army. The colourful cover art of Uncultured: A Memoir should be reflected in the print title as "UnCULTured". Quite a story.
