I'm closing out May with
Murder at Sea, a cozy mystery short story anthology with stories by eight different authors. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Almost ready to wrap up Carlene O'Connor's Murder in an Irish Village. She's becoming a favorite of mine. Makes me so curious about Ireland.
I'm starting out June with
Passport to Spy by Nancy Cold Silverman https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I weakened and started a new (to me) series. (What was I thinking?!) Of course, I enjoyed Martin Walker's French village, so I expect to be squeezing in another visit to Bruno, Chief of Police again before too long.
4.5★ My review of Bruno, Chief of Police
Starting out the week with the enjoyable
Hot Pot Murder by Jennifer J. Chow https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I read The Stars Are Fire / Anita Shreve. I have mixed feelings ... October 1947, the fires in Maine caused the loss of everything they owned. Grace was strong in the face of adversity. The cruelty exhibited by Gene towards Grace was not deserved. She did not cause his disfigurement and had nothing to do with his true love turning him down after the war.
I finished The Poisoner's Ring
by Kelley Armstrong. Time travel from modern Vancouver to 1869 Edinbourgh, Scotland. Good mystery and historical piece of how to deat with being a modern woman and then dumped in 1869. Book Two of the series.

I gave it 5 stars as well. My review: I can't recall when I read any book so quickly as I read this one. There are no lulls in the action and I cared about the characters enough to not put this one down until I knew the outcome. I guarantee this one will grab you on page one and won't let you go until the end.
The story begins with a plane crash off Hawaii into the ocean -- sinking below the surface but with air pockets for those still on board. Most of the people who got off the plane were killed when fire broke out due to the fuel spilling in the water. The plane has settled in an unstable position under the water and those on board and those trying to rescue them only have a limited time and questionable options to get the job done.
If they don't make this book into a movie they are missing out...this would make a great action flick.
Finishing up the week with
Murder on Madison Square by Victoria Thompson https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I am reading The Game Is a Footnote
by Vicki Delany. Book 7 in the series. Very enjoyable series set on Cape Cod. Good characers, animals and pets. Start with book one though.
I'm kicking off the week with
Muddled Matrimonial Murder by Kim Davis https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Rush, by Aussie author Michelle Prak, is a scary outback, backpacker thriller! Storm, blackout, body lying at the side of the road in torrential downpour ... do you stop or get the heck out of there?
4★ My review of The Rush
I've got a slightly early review of
A Stolen Child by Sarah Stewart Taylor https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Racing the Light by Robert Crais https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."That was a good book. I enjoyed it.
I am enjoying A Pocket Full of Rye by Agatha Christie. It is a Miss Marple mystery. I am half way through and Miss Marple has not appeard yet. I haven't read a Miss Marple mysteryin over 20 years. Enjoying. Well written.
