The Astral Library by Kate Quinn

 Down on her luck Alix discovers a magical library where someone can live inside a book.  It sounds great until the library and its patrons come under attack.

Not a big fan of fantasy, so a bit disappointing for me.

3 stars.

4 stars.

All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

Audio.  14.5 hours.

Read by Edoardo Ballerini.

Patch saves a girl from being abducted, but then ends up being the one taken.  He spends a year locked away in the dark with a girl named Grace.  When they are rescued, Grace disappears and Patch spends years trying to find her.

This was a beautifully written story.  The only part I couldn't accept was why he made finding this girl his life's work.  It would have been 5 stars but for this.

4 stars.

All This Could Be Yours by Hank Phillippi Ryan

 Tessa Calloway has written a best selling novel and is on tour when strange things begin to happen.

This book was such a slog.  It could have been a good story if it was 100 pages shorter.

2 stars.

 Audio.  10.75 hours.

Read by Eunice Wong.

4 stars.

It's Not Her by Mary Kubica

Two families go to a resort in the woods.  When one couple is murdered and their teenaged daughter goes missing the police (and the other mother) try to find the missing girl and the killer.

The first part was kind of dull, but it picked up at the end.

4 stars. 

The Invisible Woman by James Patterson and Susan DiLallo

 Former FBI agent, Elinor Gilbert, is recruited by her former boss to go undercover as a nanny for a suspected money launderer.

Quick read.  Very little gore.

4 stars.
