PattyMacDotComma | 272 comments Another quirky one is Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto. This feisty little Chinese lady gathers an eclectic group in San Francisco to help her find a murderer. Fun read and great audio.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 764 comments The Secret Book Society by Madeline Martin
The Secret Book Society by Madeline Martin
A historical fiction, but not exactly a book about books unlike what the title suggests. Goes quite dark, especially in the final section. A good book as long as you go in with the right expectations.

The Favourites by Layne Fargo
A sports romance-drama loosely inspired by Wuthering Heights! I loved this! Not for those who prefer likeable characters in fiction.

PamG (lynguy1) | 735 comments Here is my 4.39 rounded to 4 stars review of The Iron Storm by Jack Du Brul:

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Historical Mystery and Action Thriller
15th book in the Isaac Bell series
Overall, this is a briskly paced and entertaining page-turner that kept me engaged throughout the suspenseful, intriguing, and high stakes historical thriller. The book was terrific and transported this reader into the dark and terrifying world of a historical war. It was a rich assortment of history, politics, espionage, and war brought together with great world-building and an action-filled plot.
