Marianne Cronin's second novel, Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love is the best feel-good novel I've read all year, and the audio narration is perfect. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Michael Without Apology by Catherine Ryan Hyde
Such a beautiful book, which shouldn't be a surprise considering who the author is. Much recommended despite the dragged ending.

⭐⭐⭐⭐.7 for #19 in the Tom Thorne series by Mark Billingham,
What the Night Brings. Easily able to be read as a stand-alone. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...💖📚
I listened to the audiobook of
The Unraveling of Julia by Lisa Scottoline. It was an okay mystery with lots of wild happenings that were eventually explained at the end. Not the best book I've read/heard from this author. The setting in Italy was well done.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Honey Pot Plot: Rocky Start, Book 3 by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer, the perfect conclusion to a hugely entertaining trilogy, is best experienced in audio narrated by Cris Dukehart and Eric G. Dove.5★s

Women of Note by M.J. Buckman
My bad July run continues with this disaster of a read. It had such potential! But the writing and editing did no favours to the book.
