Out the Window is exactly where she went in Lawrence Block's story, which he narrated himself in exactly the right voice. Now I want to find more of his #MatthewScudder crime series.

An edge of your seat mystery/thriller
The Girl in the Dark by Zoë Sharp ⭐⭐⭐⭐.3 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Lea Ypi's memoir 'Free'. I really enjoyed it. ‘When freedom finally arrived, it was like a dish served frozen,’ says Lea Ypi of life in post-communist Albania as she meditates in ‘Free’ on the idea’s true meaning. ‘We chewed a little, swallowed fast and remained hungry.’

I am not alone in saying that C.S. Harris never disappoints and never misses a beat in the action, history, and human stories of England in the early 1800s. Who Slays the Wicked is terrific.
