Closing out the week with a thriller -
The House Guest by Hank Phillippi Ryan https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...Excellent! S A Cosby has proven himself yet again as a writer. This is the third novel of his that I've read and the best so far.
I seem to be late 'discovering' popular UK crime writer Mark Billingham. His new Detective Miller series, The Last Dance, has plenty of scope to move into the next book, which I look forward to. Declan Miller seems very human rather than hard-boiled. Funny. Sad.
My review of The Last Dance
Kick off August with a release day look at
A Sense for Murder by Leslie Karst https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Have a few current reads going on, but currently alternating (sort of) between The Wives by Tarryn Fisher and The Other Mrs. by Mary Kubica. Though reading The Wives more since it’s a library book, and I own the MK one (just hadn’t gotten around to reading it!)
I finished Never Lie
Freida McFadden, Very good thriller.I am now reading Rogue Justice: A Thriller
by Stacey Abrams. good so far. Book 2 in series. Book one, While Justice Sleeps
was excellent
The Night Swim - listening to this one in honor of her newsest release "Dark Corners" which is book #2
My review of Read to Death at the Lakeside Library by Holly Danvers

The thriller, The Chalk Man, was a much-hyped debut by C.J. Tudor when it came out a few years ago, and today I needed a horror for a challenge. Yes, there's some creepy stuff.
My review of The Chalk Man
Out of Nowhere by Sandra Brown 5-StarsTragedy brought them together, and it can't keep them apart.

None of these links are going to the right places, Julie. Can you repost with the correct ones (in case people don't scroll back to try again)?
I loved Aussie author Benjamin Stevenson's quirky murder mystery Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone. I enjoyed the mix of humour, snowbound location, and clever plot presentation. Good audio, too.
