Still Life by Louise Penny

The 1st Chief Inspector Gamache Novel

This is my second reading of this book--I read it some years ago--I decided to give it re-read as it is my intention to read all of Louise Penny's Gamache novels. Good thing, as I hardly remembered any of the details. Reading time well spent.

The Shaman's Secret by Rich Curtin

Manny Rivera Mystery #7

This mystery finds Manny back in Moab, Utah...what starts as a big horn sheep poaching investigation quickly devolves into murder and in pursuit of this crime he stumbles into even a bigger sequence of bizarre events. Good book, good writing and I am pleased to see that Manny and Gloria's relationship continues to bloom.

Bluffing Mr. Churchill by John Lawton

Inspector Troy Novel #2

A series that I seem to insist on reading out of order. After reading this book thought I had ordered the 1st book and start at the beginning but no--somehow I ordered the third. Good book, good mystery and an excellent depiction of London during the darkest hours of the blitz. However, I spent most of my reading time trying to puzzle out the meaning of the title (two different Churchill's appear in two tiny scenes)...upon further investigation...the original title of this book when it was first published in Great Britain was...Riptide...and for some bizarre reason they changed the title when it was published in America. Riptide--the better fit for sure--no bluffing.
