Professor Chandra Follows His Bliss by Rajeev Balasubramanyam
March 26, 2019, Dial PressGenre: multicultural, contemporary fiction, family drama
The title and cover of the book got my attention at the library, so I borrowed it and was delighted with the story and the characters.
Professor Chandra is disappointed he did not win the Nobel Prize for Economics, but he is still considered a successful and internationally renowned economist, based in Cambridge. On retirement, he turns his attention to his family, especially his children, who are distant or estranged from him ever since his divorce from their British mother.
How he manages to discover his family again as well as find a new life, new meaning, and adventures for himself is the theme of the novel.
Smart, entertaining, and well written and plotted, the book was a pleasure to read. Five stars

The Dark Bones by Loreth Anne White, May 21, 2019
Genre: thriller, mystery, police procedural
Set in Canada, this is the second in the A Dark Lure series.
I haven't read the first in the series, but I learned a lot about it by reading this one.In The Dark Bones. Detective Rebecca North returns home after a long absence, when she is told about the suicide of her father, a retired cop. Not wanting to believe her father Noah North killed himself, Rebecca sets out to find out what led to his death and meets reluctantly again, her first love and high school sweetheart, Ash.
I'm in the middle of the ebook and enjoying this mystery set in rural Canada.
