Happy Reading!




Promise Me 
By Harlan Coben
This book was so action packed from the start. 2 teenagers disappeared from the same high school . What happened to them? Myron Bolitar promised to help one if needed, did he cause her to be missing? Keeps you guessing until the very end.

Bryant And May: Hall Of Mirrors 
By Christopher Fowler
Bryant and May: Hall of Mirrors is a mystery that visits the early days of the Peculiar Crimes Unit. Set in the swinging 1960's, this was an enjoyable prequel to the series, with an Agatha Christie-style country house, dry British humor and gruesome murders. Trapped in decrepit English mansion with a group of quirky suspects, while floods and war games isolate them, Bryant and May must keep an untrustworthy witness alive and well so he can testify in court. As the body count rises, the detectives try to keep calm and solve the mystery before outside help can arrive. Christopher Fowler's series is full of cultural references, arcane history of London and insider jokes. In Hall of Mirrors, it was entertaining to see how the now elderly detectives got their start. If you enjoy Christopher Fowler's series, this is a great new novel, and if you have never read any, this is an intriguing introduction!

This Pen For Hire 
By Laura Levine
I love a good funny mystery, and this one hit the mark. It's the first in the series, written in about 2014. The main character is goofy and sweet, and at one point had me laughing so hard I was shaking the bed!

The Silent Patient 
By Alex Michaelides
Great first novel. A page turner!

Kingdom Of The Blind
By Louise Penny
Penny continues to deliver an original and riveting story in her Inspector Gamache series.
