I'm hoping to start that series soon, too, James. Let me know if it's good!

If you have someone in your life who thinks they're hopeless, show them Beatrice Blue's cute book, Once Upon a Witch's Broom. It follows a pair of little witches, one confident, one anxious, from toddlerhood to old age.

Now I have to read the next two! The Black House is the first of Peter May's popular Lewis Trilogy, and it was terrifying, moving, and compelling. Great read.

Tonight I Said Goodbye by Michael Koryta

Set in Cleveland. PI and his partner are hired by a wealthy older man to find his missing daughter-in-law and her young daughter after his son (her husband) is killed. Very fine first novel showing good plotting and characterization. I liked it a lot, 4 stars.

that's why I like when someone says a little bit about the book they've just read in their post. I'm unlikely to follow a link to a review, but a couple of sentences about the book might be enough to pique my interest so I'll want to read it

I feel the same. That's why I always write a bit more about the books that I've read.

John Sandford’s Prey series is always fun, but Judgement Prey isn’t one of the best. My 3.5 star review,

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

finished It Walks by Night by John Dickson Carr. I would never have guessed the how or the who, nor the rather ingenious plot twist the author throws in to shake things up. Once I finish reading Study for Obedience I'll be headed to Carr's second book in the Bencolin series, Castle Skull.

Magic Strikes by Ilona Andrews


Going through my re-read of the Kate Daniels series and #3 is where the series begins to gain momentum. It's a great jumping off point for new readers.

I finished my 93rd book, but lowered my goal from 140 to 120 books, because this fall I won't have enough time for many books (a visitor from Germany is coming in October).

Magic Bleeds by Ilona Andrews


Even with a re-read, this is still one of my personal favorites in the series. It's probably also the latest point in the series in which a new reader could jump into the Kate Daniels world.

--------------------------------
It was an okay read but the plotline was nothing that I hadn't read before in other novels. I probably would have liked it better if the main character was more likeable. The author gave him so many personal issues it was hard to root for him. Right now I don't have any plans to read the sequel novels.

[James]

Now starting CRIMSON LAKE by Candice Fox, the first novel in the Ted Conkaffey & Amanda Pharrell mystery series set in northern Australia.

All three books in the series were nominated for the Ned Kelly Award as the Best Crime Novel of the Year, but the author has not written a new Conkaffey/Pharrell book since 2019.

I don't think I'll be in any hurry to start then, James.

Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll

In this fictionalized story of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, Jessica Knoll focuses on the women more than the murderer.

Well written. 4 stars

About half way through Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and as with so many horror novels, it's turned into something of a mystery. If you like the supernatural creeping into a story filled with film trivia, much of the trivia concerning real films, then this may be for you.

Neither a true legal or action thriller, The Exchange fell flat for me. My three star review:

I have always loved medical thrillers and I just finished reading Robin Cook's Vector. If you think about it, the events happening in her books are not too far from becoming a constant, threatening dose of reality.
