What Fiction are you reading this week, June 5, 2022? [View all]



Still reading A Dark So Deadly. Great story. There's a special department for Scottish police who, for various reasons, are not wanted by other departments. They're called the Misfit Mob and they get assigned to all the cases that are also unwanted. So, as you might imagine, their chatter amongst themselves gets really snarky and very funny. I laugh a lot, but then there are some horribly evil things going on and that makes for great contrast. Never a dull moment.

Listening to Paw and Order by Spencer Quinn, A Chet and Bernie Mystery. This tale is narrated by Chet, a dog.
Stephen King has called Chet “a canine Sam Spade full of joie de vivre.” He is so funny. I am convinced that if dogs could talk, this is exactly what they would sound like. I plan to listen to and read the whole series now.

What are you planning to read or listen to this week?
