New books on my shelf:
Two Steps Forward by Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist, May 1, 2018, William Morrow
Genre: romance, contemporary novel
Setting: The Chemin, also known as the Camino de Santiago, is a centuries-old pilgrim route that ends in Santiago de Compostela in northwest Spain.
Bloody Orbit: Gattis File #1 by K.R. Richardson, May 2018
Genre: science fiction police procedural pairs an idealistic rookie with an officer who uses cybernetic implants to process forensics
This is not normally a genre I read, but since it's the first in a new series, I'm willing to give it a try.

Whistling in the Dark by Lesley Kagen, May 1, 2007, Berkley
Genre: thriller
Rating: 5/5
After the death of their father, young Sally takes care of her sister Troo while their mother is hospitalized long term for liver failure. There is a murderer on the loose who has targeted young girls in the area and Sally finds herself alone in having to protect herself and her sister. Family secrets, a predator on the loose in a small community in Milwaukee, these are some of the themes of the book with two highly individualized young girls who must handle it all.
Books read last week:
Love the setting and descriptions of the people and the unusual Glenan islands off the Brittany shore. A complex mystery plot too, with a persistent and astute French detective.
I listened to the audio and loved the intonations in the voice of the narrator, who read the French novel in English.

ReplyDeleteHere are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I'm enjoying it right now!
DeleteBlood Orbit looks really interesting.
ReplyDeleteNot a genre I normally read, ut am willing to give it a try!
DeleteTwo Steps Forward sounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it...
DeleteMoo is the only one I am familiar with. Happy Monday, happy reading, Harvee!
ReplyDeleteThere is another book with the same title that I am curious about too.
DeleteI've heard good things about Whistling in the Dark. I'd like to read Moo too.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed both!
DeleteI didn't realize Graeme Simsion's new novel was about the El Camino - very cool. A friend of mine walked a portion of it for 2 weeks last year - sounds like an amazing experience.
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved Whistling in the Dark! I read it quite a few years ago, but it stuck with me.
Enjoy your books this week!
