I couldn't live on the islands of Scotland's Outer Hebrides, but they are fascinating. Award-winning author Peter May's trilogy about The Lewis Man is being expanded. This is the second, and I'm trying to catch up before #4 comes out!
My review of The Lewis Man
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey. Powerful and entertaining, every non-conformist's favorite book.
My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I took a month's break from mystery thrillers to read historical fiction. Sometimes the break is refreshing. Now I am back to cozy mystery Murder Spills the Tea

Phyrnne& Tammy your cozy mystery books sound awesome! I too like thrillers. I too switch between Cozy Mysteries often as well!
My first book for September was
A Royal Affair by Allison Montclair https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Reminiscent of Mona Awad, minus the surrealist horror. Mysterious, moody, sapphic, emphasis on female frenemy-ship. The first 70% is all Gothic, literary, making love to demons in your dreams vibes, and I loved it. Then...

⭐⭐⭐.5 for
The Empress of Cooke County by Elizabeth Bass Parman https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I had no idea that The Cold Cold Ground was set in the time and place where Adrian McKinty grew up - Belfast during The Troubles. It's the first of his Detective Sean Duffy series. I read book 6 and wanted to see where Duffy started. Glad I did.
My Review of The Cold Cold Ground
A great start to a new Scottish cosy-mystery series
Murder in the Scottish Highlands by Dee MacDonald ⭐⭐⭐⭐.2 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm kicking off the week with
Until Depths Do Us Part by K. B. Jackson https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A good, old-fashioned English 'whodunit'.
Death at the Dolphin by Gretta Mulrooney⭐⭐⭐⭐.1 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The stories of H.G. Wells no doubt inspired a lot of today's mysterious tales of the supernatural. The Door in the Wall is one example. There's this door, through which lies ...

The Night We Lost Him by Laura Dave 3-StarsUncovering dad's secret life brings some surprising answers.
My Review
The Wedding Plot by Paula Munier 4-StarsWeddings and families and murder are such fun.
My Review*
I'm finishing the week with a review of
26 Below by Kimberley Woodhouse. This thriller was a bit uneven for me.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I've moved sideways to a 'Bosch-adjacent' entry in the Bosch universe by Michael Connelly. The Poet is an especially nasty serial killer whose identity is amazingly well hidden. 
My review of The Poet
I love Michael Connelly too, I’m a bit behind on the Bosch/Ballard novels but have them in my to read list.
Lord of the Flies by William Golding. A classic that has not held up. 3/5

Starting out the week with
A Slay Ride Together with You by Vicki Delany https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review of Murder at the Foundling Hospital by Irina Shapiro
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A good mystery overshadowed by a predictable romance
Coming Home to Starr's Fall by Kate Hewitt ⭐⭐⭐ https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Bookstore Wedding by Alice Hoffman!
