What Fiction are you reading this week, April 9, 2023?

[hermetic]

Reading Demolition Angel by Robert Crais. This book starts with a bang. Well, more of a kaboom really. "Carol Starkey is struggling to pick up the pieces of her former life as L.A.'s finest bomb squad technician." One doesn't normally expect to find a woman on the bomb squad so this sets itself up for all sorts of interesting scenarios. The book bills itself #9 in the Cole/Pike series but they haven't shown up yet, and I'm halfway through. It's a really good story, though. Written in 2000, I find it interesting how they have a scientist explaining to the detectives how a message board works. And a chat room. And what a "thread" is. Plus it's full of insights into the warped minds of creeps who like to blow things up.

Listening to The Hacienda "by Isabel Canas. A debut supernatural suspense novel, set in the aftermath of the Mexican War of Independence, about a remote house, a sinister haunting, and the woman pulled into its clutches..."
I've only just started it.
