A well-loved woman in a small town has died after being shot with an arrow. A famous inspector comes from Montreal to try to figure out whether this was murder or a hunting accident, and who shot her. We meet most of the residents of the town. This book has many funny parts as well as a good mystery. Highly recommended. I look forward to reading the other books in this series

A reread for me that I was using for the July prompt. But what a masterpiece of a series

This is the second book in the Shatter Me series and oh my god, it was so good. The writing style carries over from the first book, showing Juliette’s inner conflicts. Most of the setting up is done in the first book, so this book is relatively fast paced. The romance gets more complicated as you get a different view of Aaron Warner’s life. There are some plot twists that I was not expecting at all. I had to sit there and really process one of them. I really love this book and totally recommend it!

The book was good but I thought it was too long. I think she could have told the same story in fewer page

What fun I had reading Strange Planet by Nathan Pyle - A MUST READ - an intelligent comic relief - with a play on words that made me smile from beginning to end - that I constantly found myself giggling - I never imaged I would enjoy a Graphic novel and I certainly did! It wasn't a mystery and it wasn't a who-did it and I couldn't put it down

The VANISHED by Bill Pronzini, written over 50 years ago, is a classic old time detective novel in the style of Sam Spade or The Maltese Falcon. "A dame walked into the office...." kind of story. This book is the second entry into a long running series that features the "nameless detective". The private detective is hired to find a women's missing fiance. The hunt is wonderful to follow in the pre cell phone, pre internet world that nameless inhabits. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to read more of Pronzini's work.

Another entertaining murder mystery romance from Ellen Meister. It continues the story of our heroine from Love Sold Separately. She is still hosting her show on the Shopping Channel. During a company party, the new CEO falls from the rooftop balcony. Dana thinks she may have done it but can't remember because she was drugged that night. Keeps you guessing till the end.

The Nemesis is the tenth book in the Orphan X series by Gregg Hurtwitz. Evan is a highly trained former government assassin that now is a freelance hero. Each book is a high adrenaline entertainment thriller and character intensive. In this book he is dealing with a terrible personal betrayal, Tommy Stokack, who provides his weapons and is one of a very few true friends he has in the world. However, in the last book, ninth in the series, Evan saw that one of the worst murders he’d ever encountered was carrying Tom’s weaponry. Tommy refuses to explain and for Evan the next step is clear. Tommy is now a danger to the innocent and will have to be eliminated. I would read the series in order because the characters in this book have a deep relation with him and each other which develops with each book.

I didn’t care for this book, I think it made light of serious topics like depression and suicide

Keru and Nate meet in college. Keru, an only child, immigrated from China with her parents. Nate and his brother grew up in a white, rural working class community with their parents.
