Fiction

dog food, before settling down to read in a sunny corner.

Mostly read The Story of the Forest, author Linda Grant, but gave up 2/3 thru. Book started like an almost poetic fable, but drearied into non-productive would-be heroine. True not all heros wear capes and mom's are heros of life, but no.

Now reading The Hive by Gregg Olsen. "In the Pacific Northwest, detective Lindsay Jackman is investigating the murder of a young journalist found at the bottom of a ravine. Lindsay soon learns that the victim was writing an exposé. Her subject: a charismatic wellness guru who’s pulled millions into her euphoric orbit…" Well written, good characters, not a fast page turner but is keeping me guessing.

I have a Chet & Bernie mystery ready for much needed levity.
