Dr. Kay Scarpetta, the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia, helps investigate a high tech murder.
Very current themes in this book. This is an uptick in the series, which had been waning for a while. 3 stars

Sam McCain #3....... 1959, Iowa. The Red Scare comes to small town Iowa and people are getting killed. Judge Esme puts Sam on the case. Very enjoyable light mystery, well constructed with lots of 1959 touches. I like the series a lot, this one gets 4 stars.

Benji Golden #2 Very fine light mystery about the search for a missing Broadway show investor and his beautiful girlfriend. Handler really did a good job with this one, the action just flows along. 4.5 stars.

I'll just say that it's one thing to express your dislike of an author's work, and it's another altogether to say that someone's reading likes are "crap."

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

I did not diss anyone's reading! I was just making fun of Sturgeon's Law, in relation to gold. I'm very sorry about this!

Bernie Gunther #11, series probably best read in order. This is another very fine entry in the series. Bernie is working in a hotel on the French Riviera and gets unwillingly involved in a complicated blackmail and murder situation involving a very famous author. The plot and action flow smoothly as we again root for Bernie to come out alive. 4 stars.


In this memoir, Stewart traces his life and career starting in his hometown, up through the Royal Shakespeare Company, Star Trek: The Next Generation, X-Men....and much much more.
Highly recommended. 4 stars
