Week of January 19- Salena

Showdown in Mudbug by Jan Deleon (#3 in the Ghost-in-law series)—291 pages

Another fun romp through Mudbug and New Orleans. This one includes the FBI, a hacker on the run, and the mob.

 



Buried Bones (Sarah Booth Delaney #2) by Carolyn Haines—368 pages

Old secrets and a new tell-all book create chaos for the residents of Zinnia Mississippi. Sarah Booth is asked to find the manuscript when it goes missing. Not as good as the first installment but not a bad read. I will be giving the 3rd title a chance at some point in the future. 

 


Shakespeare’s Landlord (#1 in the Lily Bard series) by Charlaine Harris – 336 pages

Not real impressed with this one.  This was pretty depressing and the characters were weak. The relationships between them all were really superficial. I probably won’t be trying book #2.

 



The Whisper Man by Alex North – 400 pages

Wait…. What! There is a moment about halfway through the book when you think everything is coming to a head and you understand what is going on and then… wham! You are left wondering what the heck just happened. If you enjoy a good murder mystery with some twists and turns give this one a try.

 



Here and Now and Then by Mike Chen—352 pages

Time travel with some interesting twists. I really enjoyed this story and the glimpses into a not so distant future world. How far would you go to protect your child? Some things were predictable yet not boring. Great read!

Week of January 4- Salena

Them Bones (#1 in the Sarah Booth Delaney series) By Carolyn Haines – 336 pages

This irreverent look at Southern bell society is a lot of fun. Sarah Booth is unmarried and over 30 (GASP) How dare she buck convention like that. It isn’t as if she isn’t being pursued by eligible men…. She just chooses to follow her own path to love. 

In this first book of the series Sarah Booth is in dire financial straits and falls headfirst into working as a PI for her friends after “rescuing” a friend’s kidnapped pampered pet. Sassy, southern charm keeps this book rolling along and me turning the pages.  

The Fate of Mercy Alban by Wendy Webb—352 pages

I love a good, creepy, gothic story. This is the 3rd title I have read by Wendy Webb and I have enjoyed each one.  Ghosts, secret passages, and 50 year old mysteries are just waiting to be discovered. 




The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes- 448 pages

This story packs a punch and includes topics such as education for women/poor, civil rights, small town politics, marital problems, domestic abuse, murder, and more. Give it a go and see what you think.
