Going back to an old friend.  Lucas Davenport.  Started on 6/17/2022.  (I did start this book on 6/17 but we went on vacation and I read a book during that trip so my reading days of this book are skewed a bit).

Lucas is Deputy Chief and working on a crime where the criminal (Koop) guts women.  It was a long story and Lucas is still with Weather but has a wondering eye when it comes to women anyway.  One of the cops on the force with him (a female) has cancer and is very sick.  She wants to catch the criminal before she dies of cancer.  Well they catch the killer (koop) but….. the cliffhanger.

I finished this book on 7/8/2022.  30 days….Ugh, that’s to long.

This book was given to me for fathers day.  I saved it for a couple of days as my “vacation” book.  A physical book given to me by Delaney. I started the book on 6/25/2022 and finished on 6/30/2022.  Yep 5 days.

I really enjoyed the book.  Chapters were short.  Story was good although a little predictable towards the end.

Aiden (the local bad boy) meets Caroline (the rich lady who built a house on his Grandaddy’s land).  They have a one night stand because Caroline thinks her husband is cheating on her.  So turn about is fair play.  Well the story goes way deeper than that.  Caroline’s husband is into some “deep” trouble with some bad mamma jamma’s and ends up not alive….Did Aiden do it?  Did Caroline do it?  Did the bad mamma jamma’s do it?  Like I said the ending was a little predictable but the book was thoroughly enjoyable.  I give it an 8/10

This is an Amazon first read.  Started on 6/6/2022.  First time reading this author.

I really enjoyed the book.  The chapters were short, characters well defined and the story line was very interesting.  The boy Toby is accused of multiple murders in a small town in Utah.  The sheriff didn’t have much evidence.  The “retired” prosecutor came back to try the case.  The twist at the very end will throw you for a loop.

I give this book a 10/10 because of the shorter chapters and well written characters.  11 days (10 really cause I finished Billy Boyle the same day and started this book late.

I broke off from reading my last book.  It was not as interesting as I thought it would be.  I started Rag and Bone on 5/17/22.

Only a few chapters into the book but so far….Just like a good pair of jeans.  It just fits.  Finished on 6/6/22.  There were a lot of characters in this book.  It was a good story but he didn’t crack the case until almost the final chapter.  Then he got to meet Churchill.

Working in London (Daphne in the Vatican) he had to crack the case of a murdered Soviet.  Spies, backstabbing and Vodka.  Lots of each.  He seems to be drinking a LOT.  Waking up with hangovers A LOT!

20 Days to read this book.  Don’t know why it took so long.  It was good.  I’ll give it a 8/10.

4/17/2022 Started John Sandford Winter Prey.  Book 4 in the series.  It’s cold in Northern Wisconsin.  A murder happens of a family of three.  Mom, Dad and 13 year old daughter.  There’s a picture….The killer was looking for it but figured if he couldn’t find it to burn the house with the dead bodies in it.  The search starts and Davenport is on the case.  5/2/2022.  Just finished the book.  Keeps you guessing till the end.  Lukas falls for another doctor, gets shot and hopefully recovers.  They catch the killer (of course) but not until after the winter chase scene on snowmobiles.  Good book.  Rate it 8/10.  Characters are easy to follow and several are key characters in the book.

4/2/2022 started.  Amazon First Read I believe.  Just started so nothing to write yet. 4/16/22 Just finished.  Twisted for sure.  Dr. Moore, a criminal psychyatrist has a client that wants to kill his wife.  So she thinks.  Six high school kids are abducted and killed left without a penis and a heart carved into their chest.  The father of one of the boys is a lawyer who is representing the apprehended alleged killer.  He knows he’s not the killer though and Dr. Moore has to profile him (the alleged killer).  To many twists and turns, the ending is intense.  Give this book a 8/10.  Characters are memorable.  Not a scooby doo mystery.

This was a book recommended from a TikTok post.  I started the book on 3/23/22.  Four chapters in.  Storyline not yet unfolding.  Characters are easy to remember so far.  Lily is a young single living in Boston.  Starting her own flower business.  She meets Ryle (yes like Kyle but with an R).  She writes to Ellen DeGeneres in her “diary”.  Chapters are long though.

Most of the chapters were doable.  Poor Lily.  I mean that.  She was torn between 2 men.  She watched her mother in an abusive relationship.  1 man was homeless when they met.  She saved his life but he never felt good enough for her.  The other man, a neurosurgeon, was almost everything.  Except he was the abusive one.

Finished on 4/2/22.  10 days.

Inspirational/Self Help:  This book only has 73 pages and is illustrated.  I read it on 3/30/22.  It only took about half an hour to read.  Which are you?  The shark or the goldfish?  It all depends on your outlook in life.

3/18/22 started Joe’s book.  I don’t think I’ve ever read anything by him.  We shall see how it goes.  Wow, really enjoyed the book.  Writing style is cool.  Chapters are short, characters are very easily memorable.  Story line was good.  241 pages went by way to quickly.  I finished the book on 3/22/22.  Yep just 4 days.

Andy, a writer is having an affair with Rachel.  Rachel’s husband ends up dead because of a bad business deal made by his business partner.  This unleashed a whole slew of bad things that Andy has to figure out.  Rachel and her kids go missing.  The priest is….I’ll let you read and figure him out.

I give this a true 9/10.  I really enjoyed it.

I started this book on 3/1/22.  Billy and Diana are fighting.  He gets a mission to track down 50 missing high powered riffles.  So it just happens that this story is taking place in Ireland.  Funny because I finished the book on St. Patrick’s Day 3/17/2022.  There was a LOT that he was unpacking in the story.  Once again I logged into GMaps to get a lay of the land for where Billy was going in country.  I had to research IRA, Black Knights, Unionists and Republicans.  I found out that Ireland is split between English rule and Ireland rule.  The northern half (it’ only 6 counties) are governed by the English.  Billy found the BARs, caught another Army Major in a skimming scheme and got Dianna back.  Of course, he managed to get shot too.  Was a good story but there was a LOT to unpack.  I still give it an 8/10.  Library book read on Kindle app on the IPad.
