My second book for the week is
Stuff to Spy For by Don Bruns https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This has been one of my fave series for a long time now. It's always been a fast paced, action packed crime thriller. However, this installment broke my heart and left me in tears.

This is the start of a new series about a group of FBI misfits. I like stories with quirky characters; their quirks definitely add value to a story.

I'm kicking off this week with the fantastic
fatal Reunion by Annette Dashofy https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

This series just keeps getting better. As a character driven reader, this continuing character development in this third installment was well done. The ending left a lump in my throat, a telltale sign that I have become emotionally attached to the characters.

If they've found The Wrong Hands, then whose are they? This is Mark Billingham's Detective Miller #2, but it could easily be a standalone. He is an experienced author who leads us gently through back stories without making me feel guilty for not remembering who's who. 😊)
My review of The Wrong Hands
Neil Gaiman has been in the news recently for all the wrong reasons (for him, that is), and Goodreads disallowed posting of this review for a couple of weeks. Presumably the trolling (or whatever) has died down, because I was able to post it today.
Coraline is a bright, inquisitive young girl living in a house that has another magical half with what appears to be another family - hers?! Spooky story for kids and an enjoyable read for adults.My review of "Coraline" is here:

Liz Moore's The God of the Woods kept me so absorbed that I hope she follows on with a couple of characters.
My review of The God of the Woods
I seldom read horror but I enjoy Stephen King's other fiction. I loved Dolores Claiborne, a monologue confession by an old lady, spectacularly well narrated by Frances Sternhagen. 
My review of Dolores Claiborne

This was another sequel that left me with moist eyes and a lump in my throat. I can get so invested in my fave characters fate.
A Slash of Emerald (Dr. Julia Lewis Mystery, #2) by Patrice McDonough - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...OMG!!! Casey has always been a bit of a bad@$$, but this third installement to Armstrong's Rockton spin-off has Casey is such a predicament that no pregnant woman wants to be in. Crazy!!!

I'm closing out the week with
Murder at Beechwood by Alyssa Maxwell https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The mystery in Clare Leslie Hall's Broken Country is the result of a tangled love triangle over many years. I did not guess the ending, which is always a good thing. 
My review of Broken Country
Recent reads - two peculiarly creepy old stories:The Friends of the Friends by Henry James
My review of The Friends of the Friends~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Seaton's Aunt by Walter de la Mare
My review of Seaton's AuntBoth have links to free sources for the stories.
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.
