It's 1915 and Jack McColl, a Scottish car salesman and wanna-be spy is sent by British intelligence to China, Mexico and the US in search of German spies and saboteurs. This is the first of a 4 part series and I loved it -- great plot, characters and period detail. 5 stars, highly recommended.


In this book - which is darkly funny - Pulitzer Prize winner Whitehead immerses us in the ambiance of Harlem in the 1970s. The book revolves around Ray Carney, a furniture store owner and fencer of stolen goods who strives to be upwardly mobile.
Very good book. 4 stars

Very, very mixed feelings: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Maybe I expected too much of it? I'm not the only reader that's disappointed.

In this epistolary novel, pooches Winslow and Zippy have a lively entertaining correspondence with Grandma Vivienne. Along the way, family ups and downs are revealed.
I enjoyed the book. (It might make a good Christmas present for dog lovers....just saying.) 4 stars

This is the fourth Goddard novel that I have read this year, and the tenth one I have read in the last two years. I am extremely grateful that a former supervisor of mine pointed me in his direction.

Philip Marlowe is hired by a wealthy Pasadena widow to find a missing gold coin and her also-missing daughter-in-law. This is Noir at it's finest. Chandler is a master of language, plotting, characters, action and anything else. This is mystery writing of the highest order. 5 stars.



This is a humorous sci-fi adventure novel. On a planet called Molorthia Six, human colonists must contend with tall tree-like beings who attack on occasion.
Fun characters in this book. 3 stars
