April books

Is it really already halfway through May and I'm only now posting my April books?

Broken - Marshall Buckley I think I really liked this. I don't know if I remember anymore. Yes, yes, I liked it.

Cereal Killer - GA McKevett nothing about this had literary merit, but it was fun.

Shoulder Bags and Shootings - Dorothy Howell same here. This is what happens when I wander about the library after picking up the books I put on hold.

The Glamorous (Double) Life of Isabel Bookbinder horrible, abandoned

The Sly Company of People Who Care -Rahul Bhattacharya ** this was our bookclub book, and it was horrendous. I had such high hopes, too.

Dare to Die - Carolyn G Hart I got this free from Nook, and I rather enjoyed it. It's #19 in a series and I kind of want to go back and read the other 18, but I never understand how an author can put a series on a small town-island area and then come up with 30+ murders for the area. Isn't that a little high for the national average?

The Devil's Cradle - Sylvia Nobel I read the first last year and enjoyed it. This was also a good book. I think I got both of them free for Nook.

Leaving Before It's Over - Jean Reynolds Page very very good.

The Third Floor - Judi Loren Grace Wretched.

Is Dare to Die one of the Annie Darling books? I love those and have read them all.

She travels some (so the murders are elsewhere) and often the murder victim is a tourist or something so the population on the island isn't decimated. But, yeah, still too many murders to be believable. It doesn't seem weird in the books, though.

Have you read the Faith Fairchild books? They're very similar. I'm blanking on the author right now.

Kathryn Hall Page! That's who writes the Faith Fairchild books.

Dare to Die is an Annie Darling book. I will have to keep those and the other ones in mind when I need something to read :)
