Night Has a Thousand Eyes by Cornell Woolrich
@aditya yes i noticed that THE WITCH ELM is having low GR ratings but it actually helped me because I went in with low expectations were exceeded once the body shows up. One issue is that doesn’t happen until 1/3 of the way into the book.
Finished The Hunter and Other Stories by Dashiell Hammett. Not really recommended to anyone but Hammett fans, some of these previously unpublished stories did not deserve publishing. Rating - 3/5My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Finished Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch a few days back. Urban fantasy is a new genre for me but liked it a lot specially its sense of humor.My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

And I started reading:
The Big Sky by A.B. Guthrie Jr.
I am in the final part of Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara. This is true crime but the writing is so compelling, it has moved along like the best fiction. I am sad to know that McNamara died before she ever knew the identity of the killer she chased so long.

Hope you enjoyed this book. I always start by thinking that the Peters books are awfully silly but I end up having a fun time reading them anyway. She definitely grows on you if you give her time.

by Ira Levin"Sounds interesting, Marwan. If I can get caught up on my stash (big if), I'd like to add some of Ira Levin's books. I read The Boys from Brazil long ago but nothing else.

I've always enjoyed Burke's books but got a little tired of them so am taking a break. I also gave Last Car four stars.
