A Fugitive in Amish Country: Outsider

/ 3 minutes of reading / 2 Comments

In today’s book, The Outsider by Linda Castillo, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is snowbound in Amish country in Ohio, along with a fugitive who happens to be an old friend. While she would like to think that Gina is blameless in the situation she finds herself in, Kate knows that her friend is keeping things from her and that she cannot keep Gina’s presence from the men who are looking for her for long.
I always enjoy Linda Castillo’s Kate Burkholder series. They are warm and homey, with a sharp edge of suspense to keep you from getting too comfortable. Who knew that Amish suspense would be such a great mashup?

Don’t get comfortable with The Whisper Man

/ 2 minutes of reading / 1 Comment

This week I am reading The Whisper Man by Alex North, and it is a chilling read. If you like that unsettling feeling that you might have left your door unlocked and there is someone out there… this should be your next read.
Good character development. The timeline is a little confusing to start out with, but it works out. Might not be the best bedtime reading…

Reading for Stalker Awareness

January is National Stalking Awareness Month. Despite all of the advances society has made in the area of relationships, consent, and violence against women, stalking is still a very real problem. And despite the stuff you might see on TV, where stalkers are caught in the space of an hour, many people have been stalked for years, despite multiple police reports and protective orders. Stalkers are frequently released shortly after arrest and sentences when/if they are ever convicted of stalking can be very light. Then, they are back on the street and up to their old tricks.

Educate Yourself and Help Others with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

/ 3 minutes of reading / 1 Comment

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an encyclopedic book about various magical creatures in J.K. Rowling’s magical world. This is not the screenplay/movie. It begins with some playful forwards/introductions, and then proceeds into the encyclopedia of magical beasts (and where to find them.) Fans will recognize not only the popular mythical creatures like dragons, fairies, and phoenixes, but also some of J.K. Rowling’s creations like nifflers and bowtruckles.
