Excellent psychological thriller. The ending was a shocker, although worth it. Probably the darkest of the books I’ve read by her.

I LOVE BUNNY MCGARRY!!! If you don't find Bunny and his motley crew of friends and misfits hilarious, then you are probably having a really bad day or you simply have no sense of humor. I dare you not to laugh while reading this book.

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner

This is my review of the new audiobook, currently available on Netgalley.

The story is about the Compson family of Mississippi, a once wealthy and respected family whose fortunes declined over the generations.

Good audiobook. 5 stars

Beartooth by Callan Wink was not the story I expected it to be, and while well-written, contained too much animal exploitation for my squeamish little soul.

One of the most depressing books I've ever read. I quit at page 26."

The entire series is extremely depressing, but so worth reading.

Currently reading The Sister of Cain by Mary Collins (1943), recently published by Stark House Press. So far so good.

The Queen of Fives by Alex Hay

1898. London's greatest con-woman sets off on her richest con. I loved the intricate plot and the fascinating look at 19th century London. Many similarities to Hay's previous "The Housekeepers." I loved the book, the plot, the characters, everything. 5 stars.

read as an ARC

My review here - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Finished The Sister of Cain -- really good!! A woman goes to her husband's family's home while he is away for the war and pretty shortly discovers that his sisters live a pretty bizarre and dysfunctional life. While she's there someone is murdered, and it's awfully convenient that the new person in the house is also the one they blame. Solidly good mystery with lots of family secrets spilling out. When I have my brain back I'm going to be posting about it.

Last November, The Sunbird, by Lebanese-Australian author Sara Haddad, was one of the five books sent to the 227 Australian MPs and senators to read over the summer break as part of a non-partisan effort to give background on the Israel-Palestine conflict. I suspect my view of this one won't be popular.

A really good crime thriller that takes place in Zion Canyon.
