Don’t Look For Me – Mason Cross (Carter Blake #4)
Carter Blake finds people who don’t want anyone to find them. For the last six years he has been one of those people. The reason why, revolves around Blake’s last days in the secret organization known as Winterlong. During those last days an American Senator was assassinated and Blake became the prime suspect. In those final days the Blake contacted his girlfriend Carol Langford and told her that for her safety she needed to go into hiding, too. When she finally decided on that course of action, she sent Blake a four-word note – “ Don’t Look for Me” and for six years he hasn’t!
Reading Update and Ward Larsen’s Cutting Edge
Tackling The Six Books On My March – April “To Be Read” Pile
The Six Books on My March – April “To Be Read” Pile
So my last post was Part 1 of 2 concerning my library “to be read” pile. Post 2 was to deal with the order I was going to read the eight books that I now have out of the library. At the time I was already reading two books from the pile, Cutting Edge by Ward Larsen and Dark Sky from mike Brooks.
Tackling My March-April “to be read” Pile – Part 1
How to Tackle My March-April “to be read” pile – Part 1
So over the last several weeks new books have become available at my library. As a result I have been swapping out books, returning some books read, others have been returned unread. The unread ones were returned because I know I won’t get to them now. The bottom line is I now have eight books on my “to be read” pile from the library. Here is a rundown of the books starting with the books I’m currently reading.
Victim Without a Face – Stefan Ahnhem is a Winner!
Victim Without a Face – Stefan Ahnhem
Victim Without a Face is the first book in the Fabian Risk series from Swedish writer Stefan Ahnhem. I stumbled across this series when I was in the library last week.I found it was, when I was looking through the new releases, and the book , The 9th Grave caught my eye.
The Sinister Pig – Tony Hillerman – Another Visit with an Old Favorite
Another The Sinister Pig – Tony Hillerman
So I have read almost all of the books in the Jim Chee – Joe Leaphorn series. However, the last Tony Hillerman book I read was in 2000, when I read Hunting Badger (Book #14)!The Sinister Pig (Book #16) in the series has probably been on my bookshelves unread for about 5 years or more. Since one of my reading challenges for 2018 is to read 25 books that are on my TBR shelves and specifically books from series that I have not read for years, choosing The Sinister Pig was a no-brainer.
The Shadow District Begins a New Series from Arnaldur Indridason
The Shadow District – Reykjavik Wartime Mystery #1
The Shadow District by Arnaldur Indridason is book one in his new Reykjavik Wartime Mystery series.
Indridason is the author of the excellent Detective Erlender series. However, I must admit that while I have loved the series books I have read, I have fallen behind in the series. As a result, I often forget about the series. Can out say once again “too many books too little time”.
Descent – Tim Johnston – A Parent’s Nightmare Visited!
Descent is the debut adult novel from author/teacher Tim Johnston and a decent debut it is. It is the story of the Courtland family.
