When You’re Not Reading a Cozy
My review for
The Criminal Class: Memoir of a Prison Teacher by Paul A. MacNamarahttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished The Wharton Plot
by Mariah Fredericks. Set in 1911 New York City. The author Edith Wharton is our main character. It was just okay. Lots of New York rich name dropping. The plot did not pull me into the story.
My review for
Liar Liar by James Patterson and Aussie author Candice Foxhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Romantic Suspense
Action, Humor, Death, Suspense, and More
Characters with good chemistry
I read An Honourable Thief
by Douglas SkeltonThis is an adventure-mystery with a lot of action, set in 1715 England and Scotland. We find a humorous part, but also a dramatic part that evolves between Jacobite revolts, espionage, arrogant aristocrats, "femme fatale", thieves, whores and deep feelings linked to family and true friends

My review of the non-cozy

I'm finishing out the week with
The Fly on the Wall by Tony Hillerman https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm starting out the week with
An Orphan of Hell's Kitchen by Liz Freeland.It was nice to connect with the characters again, but the pacing could have been much better.

I got to reconnect with Jack Prester in
Yosemite by Sandy Dengler.In this book, Jack is trying to keep 3 CPAs safe in the wilderness of Yosemite from the assassins trying to kill them before they can testify at a trial. A slow burn thriller that is hard to put down.
