By Dervla McTiernan Detective story taking place in Galway Ireland. City I've spent time in a few years ago.

I've always wanted to visit Ireland. Dervla McTiernan has 6 books out now that all sound quite good.

A new one. I love all the Hillermans' stories. This one sounds great, as usual. Thanks.

New Bremen, Minnesota, 1961. The Twins were playing their debut season, ice-cold root beers were selling out at the soda counter of Halderson’s Drugstore, and Hot Stuff comic books were a mainstay on every barbershop magazine rack. It was a time of innocence and hope for a country with a new, young president. But for thirteen-year-old Frank Drum it was a grim summer in which death visited frequently and assumed many forms. Accident. Nature. Suicide. Murder.

I love Krueger's books and this one sounds really good. Thanks for sharing!

This is new. "Through the eyes of a woman whose unforgettable passion, determination, and sense of humor carry her through a lifetime of upheaval, Isabel Allende once more brings us an epic that is both fiercely inspiring and deeply emotional."

Just started it.

Won some awards. "A triumphant story of a father and his little boy—and a love that knows no limits."

I love Christopher Moore. Always makes me laugh.

Ty for sharing!

Somehow It started missing the prologue and chapter 1. Last Sunday I finished it, and was doing some admin stuff with the headphones still on. The book started again. I had not heard any of that.it made much clear and dispelled some misconceptions.

I had one once that kept going back to the same chapters I had already read. I finally gave up and just got the book instead. At least yours wasn't annoying like that.

Thanks for the thread, hermetic. How are the new kitties doing?

A very good what-if novel. A time-traveler changes history so that the Ottoman empire conquers all of Europe in the late 1600's and maintains control through our present day. A man and a woman try to change that. If you can suspend disbelief about the time traveling, you might enjoy this one very much... I did.

What if....? Have put that one on my list.

Kitties are doing okay but lots of trips to the vet. I was thinking of asking them if they might name and examining room after me, since I am spending so much time and money there. (jk)

Now I have the backstory on the 7 Deschanel siblings.

The big series, Crimson and Clover has 12 novels. I have #1 and #5-8 on my Kindle. I was rummaging around in Amazon trying to decide if I wanted to go ahead and spring for books 2,3 & 4, so I read the samples for these books. I have definitely read them all but I do not have them on my Kindle or in my cloud. It's just bizzare.

Regardless, these books are quite good.


I have not finished Stone Cribs yet. This is a really good read.

"Kris Nelscott, one of the most nuanced, intelligent writers of crime fiction working today, has authored another heart-stopping, complicated novel of a country ripped apart at the seams and a lone man doing all he can to put things right." Wow.

pre-Roe, corrupt police, racial tensions , Nixon

I definitely want to read more books from this series

it was lurking out in the cloud somewherel. I really thought I was losing it.

My content and devices did not show it which is strange.

I have 9 - 12 which I have definitely not read yet.

with Rebecca Donner's All the Frequent Troubles of our Days: The True Story of the American Woman at the Heart of the German Resistance to Hitler." This is a very exciting and informative read--what was going on in the 30s and early 40s in Germany seems errily similar to what is going on in this country today.

Thanks for telling us about another amazing book.

There was mention of Anna Gerard's Georgia B&B series of cozies. They sound like a fun read.

I'll go take a peek! Tyvm!



Ps - ty for these threads!

The only e version of her work.

Tyvm again!
