Look Alive Twenty-Five by Janet Evanovich

In this 25th book in the comical 'Stephanie Plum' cozy mystery series, the bail enforcement agent gets involved with a series of bizarre abductions. The book can be read as a standalone.

The series is very formulaic, so you know exactly what to expect. I got a few laughs, but it's not the best in the series. 3 stars

i have started His Bloody Project: Documents Relating to the Case of Roderick Macrae

I love that book. His next two, The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeau and The Accident on the A35: An Inspector Gorski Investigation also make for awesome reading, since he seems to have channeled Simenon for those two.

Finished Finders, Keepers. #2 in Stephen King's Bill Hodges Trilogy. Enjoyable.

Darkness, My Old Friend by Lisa Unger

In this second book in 'The Hollows' series, retired cop Jones Cooper looks into the cold case of a missing woman while a LOT more is going on in town.
The book can be read as a standalone.

Okay mystery. 3 stars

Thank you! I added them to the list as well ☺️

Currently reading The Piranhas by Roberto Saviano pretty hard going as in brutal and violent with a certain charm thrown in lol.

I finished my 92nd book

I've just finished The Hunger games it's been a to read for a while. I'll be onto something different next thigh as don't have the other books with me.

Blue Moonlight by Vincent Zandri

In this 3rd book in the 'Dick Moonlight' series, the private detective goes to Italy to retrieve a flash drive with secret information. This puts Dick in the sights of bad guys out to stop him. Plenty of action.

The book can be read as a standalone.

The Well by Catherine Chanter

A couple wanting to escape London buy a property called 'The Well.' During a subsequent water crisis, The Well is the only place that has water. This drives the plot.

Interesting premise but this dystopian novel doesn't quite hit the mark (for me). 2 stars

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

I read Galway Girl
My review, 3.5 rounded up, https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Curse of the Pogo Stick by Colin Cotterill

Dr. Siri Paiboun #5. The Dr. Siri mysteries can usually be read as stand-alones but this one refers quite a bit to the previous story ( ( Anarchy and Old Dogs ) so I recommend reading that before this.
Another wonderful entry in the series. "Tragically funny and magically sublime".

Just finished The First Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington Gave it 3.5 stars. Loved the information and the story, but felt it was a bit "clunky" to read.

Outside genre: Animal Farm

finished His Bloody Project: Documents Relating to the Case of Roderick Macrae and i liked this book so much i even read the acknowledgements :))))

started reading Airframe

I just finished The Other Wife by Claire McGowan and loved it.

The Memory Police by Yōko Ogawa

In this dystopian novel, objects on an island are disappearing, one at a time.....and the population then forgets about them. The few people who remember are hunted down by the Memory Police.

Plenty to ponder about in this book. 3.5 stars

Mission to Paris by Alan Furst

A popular Hollywood actor is asked to spy on Germany in the days leading up to WWII. Good espionage story. 4 stars

Jerusalem Inn by Martha Grimes

Richard Jury #5, OK to read as stand-alone. Jury, a Scotland Yard detective, and his friend Melrose Plant solve another mysterious murder. Or is it 2? One of the best in the series so far, highly recommended.

Adjust finished . I love the Sebastian St. Cyr series. Have read 3 so far and just purchased 4 more. Written by C S Harris.

finished Airframe 3/5

started Before I Go to Sleep

I am reading Now You See Them. I love her Ruth Galloway series. This is OK.

Just starting I Will Make You Pay by Teresa Driscoll after finishing a five star read - The Shape of Night by Tess Gerritsen. My spoiler free review can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and my webpage https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...

I love the characters in this series. Especially when they all show up in the pub for a drink. 😊

Quantum by Patricia Cornwell

This is the start of a new series by Cornwell, who's well known for her long-running Kay Scarpetta (medical examiner) series.

This new series features Captain Calli Chase, a NASA employee and would-be astronaut. Shenanigans involving the deployment of a new device on the International Space Station lead to murder and more in this book.

Cornwell needs to work out the kinks, but it's an okay start to a new series. 3 stars
