What Fiction are you reading this week, January 22, 2023? [View all]

The Mysterious Bookshop. The world’s oldest and biggest bookstore stocking only mystery, crime fiction, espionage, and thrillers.

I'm reading Sacred Clowns by Tony Hillerman from 1993. No, it's not about Repugs though there is a good bit of politics involved along with murder-solving. The clowns are koshare which are similar to rodeo clowns only with more religious significance. It's a great story that I'm finding hard to put down.

Listening to Body on Baker Street by Vicki Delany. A visiting author drops dead in the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and Emporium on Baker Street and there's no shortage of suspects, between the author's bullied personal assistant, her frustrated publicist, the hapless publisher, a handsome rare book dealer, an obsessively rabid fan, and a world of other Sherlock enthusiasts with strong objections to the author's depiction of the Great Detective.

You reading any great books that are hard to put down this week?
