two Jess Walter’s titles. Way too noir for me. I also tried Blood Trail by Query and Query. Supernatural noir horror thriller in Montana mountains. Yep, nitty gritty cowboy heroes. Not for me, either.

Got my happy back with Sandford’s Holy Ghost. Virgil and potpies and a great Lego heist.

Finally, du’er danascot is wondering what books made you laugh out loud?

takes on AI. I'm excited to read this one.

except for the part in jury selection about Mickey Haller wanting people who watched Fox News because that meant they were likely Republican voters who voted for DJT in the last election because they were unhappy with the direction the country was going in (I wonder how they would like the direction the country is going in now). I could've lived my whole life without ever reading that and I don't know why Michael Connolly put that in there.

But other than that, I liked it.

Hmmm...

I see it all the time and I looked it up online but it's still not clear to me.

When I looked it up online it said it meant Nice Try which didn't make sense to me in the context of your reply. LOL!

Have a great day!

"When the body of a teenage Ojibwe girl washes up on the shore of an island in Lake Superior, the residents of the nearby Bad Bluff reservation whisper that it was the work of a deadly mythical beast, the Windigo, or a vengeful spirit called Michi Peshu.
