I just finished reading The Reversal, book #3 in the Lincoln Lawyer series by Michael Connelly. It’s always great to slip back into a familiar series and see old friends like Mickey Haller and Detective Bosch. Mickey Haller, normally counsel for the defense, crosses the aisle in this case to act as an independent prosecutor against a child killer who was freed after twenty-four years due to DNA evidence.

I just finished reading Whisper Network by Chandler Baker. It is a Grisham-like legal suspense book about women in society, the workforce, and law in particular. If you are the type who does not like a book with an agenda, this one is not for you, because it is very clearly intended to address sexual abuse in the workplace and the means used to keep victim’s complaints from ever seeing the light of day.

David Baldacci is one of my favourite suspense/thriller writers. I picked up The Forgotten, thinking that I hadn’t read it before, but I have. But Baldacci’s books are detailed enough to read again without getting bored, so I decided to reread it.

Nicholas Sparks is a popular romance author, a genre which I don’t often read. In See Me, however, Sparks tries his hands at romantic suspense, which is more in my wheelhouse. It has been an interesting story so well, with the promise of suspense and intrigue to come.

I am currently reading James Patterson’s The 17th Suspect (book #17 in The Women’s Murder Club series). I have enjoyed a number of the other books in this series, though I couldn’t tell you exactly how many. They are always a good read. Clever, familiar characters with heart, a mystery or trial, several unexpected twists and turns.

I am currently reading The Guest List by Lucy Foley. First off, it is praised repeatedly as being reminiscent of Agatha Christie. It is like Agatha Christie insofar as it is a murder mystery with a closed cast of suspects. The characters all have shameful secrets and, I assume later in the book, will turn out to have more connections than the reader is initially told.

I hadn’t heard of Jeannette Walls or The Glass Castle before, but I’m glad I picked it up. It is a memoir of the author’s childhood of poverty and neglect and she has some very interesting stories to tell. Her parents preferred to live an itinerant lifestyle, so she lived a lot of different places and did a lot of different things.

I’ve read a number of C.J. Box’s books, including the Cody Hoyt and Cassie Dewell series. The Bitterroots is a Cassie Dewell book. She is now a private investigator, and she’s investigating what appears to be an open and shut rape case. But of course, things are never quite what they seem.

I am almost finished reading The Chain by Adrian McKinty. A fascinating read, lots of suspense and thrills! It is not just a kidnap thriller, there is so much more to it.

This isn’t my first time reading The Chemist, by Stephanie Meyer, but I don’t remember a lot of it from the first time, and I am enjoying it quite a bit. I didn’t remember there were so many great tongue-in-cheek comments and dry humour. Alex is a great character and there is a lot of… chemistry… between her and Kevin.
