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


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?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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