Literature What are you currently reading?

Yesterday I read "The Waiting" which is Michael Connelly's latest book featuring Detective Renee Ballard. Harry Bosch is also in the book and his daughter Maddie who is also a police officer. This is a really good murder mystery and I read it really fast as it keeps your interest throughout the book. Detective Ballard heads a cold case crime unit and they are working on a famous murder from 77 years ago as well as a more recent rape/murder case. I've read quite a few of the Harry Bosch books from years ago and you can count on Connelly to write a good book.

I picked this new book up browsing the new book section. Again I read a series out of order but this is only book 2 and was fine on its own though there were a few times it referred to the previous book. Hopefully the library has the first one. It is "Beyond Reasonable Doubt" by Robert Dugoni. As the title suggests, it is a legal thriller. There is murder, a sociopath, and courtroom drama. Fast read and really good!

One of Dugoni's books arrived and I started it yesterday, The Jury Master, it is very good and exciting, thank you for the author recommendation, I also have Damage Control, of his, to read when this one is done.

I read The Waiting a couple of weeks ago and loved it!

I found another cozy mystery series by Sarah Graves. This is called "Death by Chocolate Milkshake." Why so many of these books have bakery owner characters I do not know but this is like the third series I have found that centers around a bakery. This one also offers milkshakes. It is a good mystery with our two bakers getting their noses into solving a murder. Quick read and will read more of this author. There is a recipe at the end of the book. :D

Yes, I had also seen that this has come out, ordered it and devoured it over the last weekend.

Always a great story. Might start another re-read of the Harry Bosch books with « Black Echo ».
Think I have read the whole series (25 books, 31 if you also add the Lincoln Lawyer books where he appears) some 3 or 4 times now, never really gets boring.
