How to Knit a Murder by Sally Goldenbaum

 Boring cozy mystery.  Not enough knitting.

2.5 stars.

Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket by Hilma Wolitzer

Book of excellent short stories.  Despite many of them being old, the themes still resonate.

4.5 stars.

Quitter, A Memoir of Drinking, Relapse, and Recovery by Erica C. Barnett

 Audio.  11 hours.

Read by Jean Ann Douglass

Erica's journey to recovery.  The title really says it all.

4 stars.

Alex Cross Must Die by James Patterson

 No co-author listed, but I find it hard to believe JP was responsible for this.

First of all, nobody is gunning for Alex, so what's with the title?

Secondly, it is once again a bunch of unrelated stories smushed together with constant jumping around.

2 stars.

Shadow of Death by Heather Graham

 The story here might have been good, but I couldn't stand her writing style.  If one more person "murmured" I was going to lose it.  Just use "said".

Gave it a few chapters, but couldn't go on.

Everyone Here is Lying by Shari Lapena

 A 9yo girl goes missing and the detectives find that not everyone interviewed is being forthcoming, especially the girl's father.

I thought this was going to be a 5 star rating until I got about halfway through.  I didn't understand Marion's motivation, or at least how it pushed her to such extremes.  Still, I finished it in one day.  Great story.

4.5 stars.

None of This is True by Lisa Jewell

 Alix Summer is a podcaster who, unfortunately, meets up with Josie, a crazy, dangerous liar.

4.5 stars.
