What Fiction are you reading this week, July 3, 2022? [View all]



I'm reading The Black Book by Ian Rankin, the 6th John Rebus Mystery, pub. 1993. I discovered my library has 2 old Rebus books I don't think I ever read. I always enjoy getting back together with Rebus. Kind of feels like family.

Listening to The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. In a peaceful retirement village, four septuagenarians meet weekly in the Jigsaw Room to discuss unsolved crimes; they call themselves The Thursday Murder Club. A local developer is found dead with a mysterious photograph left next to the body. As the bodies begin to pile up, can this brilliant gang catch the killer before it's too late? Fun stuff.

Stay cool. Have a happy Independence (cough, cough) Day. I won't be doing any celebrating.
