What Fiction are you reading this week, May 19, 2019?

[hermetic]

Ever want to just hide from this crazy world in a good book?

I’ve just started The Falls, an Inspector Rebus novel by Ian Rankin. Been looking forward to this one for a while.

Listening to The Death of Mrs. Westaway by Ruth Ware. Quite suspenseful but I felt the “bad guy“ was somewhat over the top. Can’t wait to hear what happens next, though. You can learn a good bit about tarot card readings at the beginning, if that sort of thing is of interest to you.

What good books are on your list this week?

1. Last Seen by Rick Mofina

I think this is my first book by him, quite the mystery

[hermetic]

2. Sounds quite good

A child-goes-missing suspense thriller. I will add that one to my list. Unless you come back later and say not to bother.

8. heh....well I am 2/3 way in and still intrigued

3. "Light It Up" by Nick Petrie

The third novel featuring the Peter Ash character. Good stuff.

[hermetic]

5. Ha

I read the title and thought to myself, "This sounds like it could be about..." And sure enough, "a well-planned and flawlessly executed hijacking reveals the hidden dangers of Colorado's mellowest business,"

Sounds pretty exciting, too.

4. Inheriting Edith by Zoe Fishman

interesting, sad, it's about dementia, Alzheimer's. My mom has dementia, so sometimes I have to put this down for a while.

[hermetic]

6. Sorry to hear that

about your mom. Sounds like a really good story. Touching.

7. I'm in John Sanford mode

Just finished, Phantom Prey, just started Extreme Prey. Both featuring Lukas Davenport.

I picked up a whole stack of his brand new hardbacks at a flea market for $4 a piece.

[hermetic]

9. Good deal

I find his books quite enjoyable.

10. Just finishing "The Outsider" by Stephen King.

A series of seemingly unrelated and vicious child murders have the police arresting everyone but the perpetrator.

The book keeps you guessing, but seems to follow the typical King narrative.

[Bayard]

11. Yeeha!

I didn't know he had a new book out.

[trev]

12. Yeah. It's as good as any of his.

[hermetic]

13. He sure likes to write

long ones. This one claims 576 pages.

[trev]

14. Yes, he does.

15. The Issac Question by David Brody

One of those Ancient Near East mysteries involving assassinations, archaelogy, Templars, ancient secrets hidden for ages, part of a series.

[hermetic]

16. This sounds pretty good

Somewhat obscure but people on Goodreads speak highly of it. Thanks for sharing.
