The Black Book by James Patterson and David Ellis

Corruption in the Chicago PD, a brothel's missing black book, and a family of cops that may be involved.

The end was good, but the set up was too long.  I almost abandoned it several times.

3 stars.

The Oysterville Sewing Circle by Susan Wiggs

I had a lot of mixed feelings about this novel.   The "sewing circle" wasn't really about sewing, so it felt kind of bait and switch for this quilter.  Otherwise, I enjoyed the story.  Good character development if not a lot of plot.

4 stars.
