Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 2090 comments Nice list Robin. I love The Silent Wife. I thought that she might have some Will Trent writing time during the Covid lock down, but I haven't seen anything posted yet.

Laura Enjoy all your reads! They look suspenseful.

Robin (robinmy) | 3478 comments Thanks Sharon. I saw Karin Slaughter had a new book come out this week, but (sigh) it's not a Will Trent book. I'll end up reading it anyway. I love her books.

Great list, Robin! FYI, The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware is really good. If that frees up at your library, I highly recommend that one for the challenge.

Robin (robinmy) | 3478 comments I don't like True Crime books, but needed one for a challenge. I listened to Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie by Harold Schechter Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie by Harold Schechter. Good narration by Steven Weber, but for some reason True Crime stories creep me out.

I also read Isn't It Bromantic? (Bromance Book Club, #4) by Lyssa Kay Adams Isn't It Bromantic? by Lyssa Kay Adams. Cute story!

Sharon Kallenberger Marzola | 2090 comments Robin I love The Silent Wife. It is my favorite Will Trent book. I keep hoping that she will announce another, but I haven't seen anything yet.

I read The Firm years ago, it is one of my favorite Grisham books.

Robin (robinmy) | 3478 comments Sharon, I was happy to see that she says there will be more Will & Sara books in the future. I was afraid this might have been the last one.

I'm happy about that too. It seems like a long time between Will books, because she has other stories running around in her head.

Robin (robinmy) | 3478 comments On Monday and Tuesday I finished a couple more books for August. First I finished listening to Truly Devious (Truly Devious, #1) by Maureen Johnson Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson. This seems to be a book people either love or hate.

I also finished reading The Shape of Night by Tess Gerritsen The Shape of Night by Tess Gerritsen.
