Reg was just trying to help. To be a good neighbor.
Let this book take you Hostage
This week I am reading Hostage, a novel by Clare Mackintosh. Lots of interesting characters with different backgrounds and secrets, a daughter on the ground in peril and hundreds of people up in the sky at the mercy of a hostage taker. The tension is building… it will be interesting to see how the main character manages to take control of the situation and—presumably—land the airplane!

Glimpse a dark past in Friends Like These
I have just recently begun Friends Like These by Kimberly McCreight. You’ve heard this story before… friends who share a horrible secret gather for a weekend reunion. Trapped by a storm, something happens, and one of them is dead. It is up to the police/detective to sort out all of the misleading clues and lies, probe and tease out the mass of secrets covering secrets to get to the heart of the matter.

Get your political thriller fix with State of Terror
I am currently reading State of Terror, by Hillary Rodham Clinton and Louise Penny. As you can well imagine, this power team draws on Clinton’s political knowledge and Penny’s experience in writing crime fiction to put together a political thriller that is both detail-rich and keep the plot moving forward.

Get Cozy with Darned if You Do
I have just finished reading Monica Ferris’s Darned if You Do. I don’t think I have read any other books in the Needlcraft Mystery series. This is #17, but there was enough context and backstory that I was comfortable with the characters and small town and didn’t feel lost. This mystery had an interesting premise—a hoarder who was murdered before his sister could finish inventorying all of the junk and valuables he’d been forced to leave in his house when he was taken to the hospital after a tree came crashing through his roof. I was sorry to see the neurodivergent character killed. I think he would have made an interesting repeat character in future mysteries in the series.

Reading about Strong Mothers
Well, Mother’s Day is coming up next week and I thought I would showcase some fiction with good/strong mothers.
So many of my characters are foster children and street kids that I don’t have a lot of wonderful mothers in my stories. But I do have a few! And truth be told, sometimes the best mothers are fathers or grandfathers!

Don’t want to miss it—Don’t You Cry
Right now I am reading Don’t You Cry by Mary Kubica. I have read other books by Kubica, so I knew it would be a good read. I think she only writes stand alones, which straddle the edge of suspense/domestic thriller. Lots of intriguing hints as the plot unfolds, good character development and narration.
