The Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz

Audio.  15.75 hours.

Read by Samantha Bond and Allan Corduner.

Did the famous author of a mystery series fall, or was he pushed?  

His latest manuscript may hold the answers.

5 stars.

Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel

 Are we real?  Is time real?  Colonies on the moon.  The story was a bit confusing at times, but I think if I had read it in one or two sittings I would have enjoyed it even more.  I'm going to re-read some time in the future and ponder it all again.  Excellent characterization.

5 stars.

The Collective by Alison Gaylin

 Best book I've read in awhile.  How far will a mother go to exact revenge on her daughter's murderer?  Camille is going to find out.

5 stars.

People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry

 Poppy and Alex rom-com.  Happily ever after.  I didn't really care for this, but it could be because I'm too old to have these kinds of feelings.

3 stars

22 Seconds by James Patterson & Maxine Paetro

 Latest in the Women's Murder Club series.  Can the SFPD and FBI crack a drug and gun smuggling gang while trying to solve a string of homicides of current and former police officers?

4 stars.

French Braid by Anne Tyler

 The Garrett family in Baltimore.  Nothing much happens, but great characterization, as always.

4.5 stars.

The Younger Wife by Sally Hepworth

 Sisters Rachel and Tully suspect their dad is not the great guy they always thought he was when marries a woman younger than they are.

4 stars.
