remote private residence. The sleuth is there for a rest or vacation, not to investigate a case. But while he or she is there, someone dies. It’s murder, of course. There is no way to get out, no way to reach the authorities. They are all trapped there with a killer, and it is up to the sleuth to figure out who it is.

Verses for the Dead is book #18 in the Pendergast series by Preston & Child. If you have read any of the rest of the series, you know that Agent Pendergast (FBI) prefers to work on his own, but in this case he is paired up with a junior agent to “assist” him (ie. spy on him and report any rogue behaviour to their boss.) A serial killer is on the loose, and Pendergast is the only one who seems to have any idea how to pursue the investigation.

There is so much to give thanks for, even in tough times. We had a week of challenges last week, but have been blessed in so many things. Showing gratitude for the good things and blessings in our life is important, so it is nice to have a day set apart to do so. (Even if you are not in the USA, you are probably aware of US Thanksgiving this week.)

Devon setting and the people who inhabit it. Most psychological thrillers are written from the viewpoint of an adult, so this one definitely breaks the mold by employing the POV of ten-year-old Ruby Trick for most of the book.

Stop at Nothing is the first book in Michael Ledwidge’s Michael Gannon series, and it starts off with a splash. A Gulfstream jet ends up in the drink in the Bahamas, with only one witness (and one who cannot call for help, due to a recent fishing mishap involving his radio antennae.) Fisherman Michael Gannon checks out the wreck, and you might think that would be the end of it, especially when he decides to do a little property recovery from the luggage that was on the jet. But Gannon has a rather exciting past, and the retiree fisher is more than meets the eye.

In Stalker on the Fens, Nikki Galena is approached by a friend who she had previously saved from a horrific building collapse. The woman thinks that she is being stalked, but her family and friends are apt to put it down as PTSD rather than something that is really happening to her. Bad turns to worse, and before long Galena is trying to deal with a couple of bodies and some significant unrest between two criminal factions. There are plenty of suspects, but trying to narrow it down and rule them out is not easy.

This week I am just coming to the end of Iris Johansen’s Body of Lies, the fourth book in the Eve Duncan series. I don’t know whether I’ve read any of the other books in the series before, but it is easy to follow the characters and the action without having read the rest. There is plenty of backstory and explanation to allow you to follow the basic history of the characters.
