My Review

I finished A Stranger in Mayfair by Charles Finch yesterday.

Kirsten wrote: "I finished A Stranger in Mayfair by Charles Finch yesterday."

Just read your review of this book, Kirsten. I remembered the author's name and read the first in the series but wasn't that impressed with it. Now after reading your review, I'm wondering if I was in the wrong mood or something. Will have to try him again.

Have passed the halfway mark in The Summer Before the War by Helen Simonson, the author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand . Its a great summer treat, especially as I have some heavier reading coming up next.

Currently reading A Steep Price by Robert Dugoni after finishing a lovely read When Archie Met Rosie: An Unexpected Love Story by Lynda Renham. If you are no romance fan, don't let that put you off. This is an amusing slice of life of a sixty something woman who has a turn of fortune that just may not be as wonderful as she first thought.

Liar, Liar by Lisa Jackson 4-Stars

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

I just finished , a very Southern story with a recipe at the end of every chapter. Enjoyed it. Now I'm taking a short break from mysteries to read my two favorite urban fantasy authors: , Ilona Andrews's latest, and , the latest by Patricia Briggs.

Compelling true-crime. If it weren't so well-documented, it would be hard to believe.
Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann reads like a novel with an outrageous plot that will outrage YOU!

Thanks, Judith! It is quite a story, and I'm glad it was told by such a talented and thorough writer.

A second look with the benefit of hindsight. Talented Aussie author Aoife Clifford has written her second book Second Sight. Lots of seconds there, but it's a first-rate read!

I just started Brad Meltzer's book, "The Escape Artist" My summer read.

Homecomings by Marcia Willett

Finished reading by Louis L'Amour

My Review

I'm reading The Long Walk by Stephen King/Richard Bachman

This one...



A reasonably interesting collection of anecdotes. Those include, how Tony Curtis received a flat in Belgravia as part payment for his role in The Persuaders (nice work if you can get it), how Jack Watson took himself a little too seriously during the filming of The Wild Geese, and how Frank Sinatra payed off his friend Sammy Davis Junior’s Las Vegas gambling debts after he died. Roger Moore takes you into his confidence across years of working, mingling and socialising with the likes of Peter Sellers, Richard Burton, Gregory Peck and many more - with one eyebrow raised in amusement of course...

Finished reading by Rex Stout

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann, and like you I think it is fantastic. Such a tragedy and how badly we treated the native Americans.

It is great to find a new author, well for me.

After reading the first Martin Rhodes book Close Your Eyes, I knew I had to start number two in the series as the story continues, but are also great thrillers on there own right.

Someone is luring married men to motel rooms where they are executed for their infidelity. Former Detective Martin Rhodes spent ten years in prison for murder. After his last assignment he is introduced to a man who wants Rhodes to find his only son. To complicate matters, the man’s son died in a horrific car crash many years ago. Meanwhile, Special Agent Jo Pullinger is pulled into a case where married men are found with a bullet in their head. Bodies pile up and secrets are revealed as Rhodes and Jo end up on a collision course with a cold-blood killer.

This second book in the series is even stronger than the first, as we have more suspense, more loose ends, more shocks, more questions, more guessing, but also some great comic moments with Jo and her FBI Team.

Some great characters with Martin Rhodes dad Sully, a Police Detective , romance elements, and great strength in the story.

Just could not put this book down, number three starting today. First time in a long time where I have read three books in a series, one after the other.

Clear five stars for such great gripping story, fast paces, different and strong characters, full of tension and suspense. Good story telling.

Noir

I've just started Lamentation by Joe Clifford. Too early to tell if it will keep my interest, but I like his writing and characterization so far.

Just reviewed renowned Aussie mystery writer Michael Robotham's psychological thriller The Secrets She Keeps. It's a good stand-alone read!
