Can you believe we're on the fourth Tuesday of the month already? I sure can't. But that means it is time for What's on Your Nightstand, hosted over at 5 Minutes for Books.
Last week, I was reading The Wrong Girl by Hank Phillippi Ryan. It's her second book about reporter Jane Ryland and Boston detective Jake Brogan. This time around, Jane is helping a former co-worker find out if she was sent to the wrong woman while trying to track down her birth mother. Meanwhile, she is also covering a murder that Jake is investigating. A woman is found murdered. Two kids under 3, both alive, are in the next room. It looks like a simple domestic dispute expect the woman has no ID anywhere in the apartment.
I loved the book. It started fast and never let me go until I reached the end. Full disclosure, I got the book via Amazon Vine and it isn't out until September. If you are interested in reading more, here's my full review.
But that's what I was reading. What's currently on my nightstand? I'm almost a third of the way through The Last Word, the latest in the Spellman series by Lisa Lutz. This series is about a dysfunctional family of PI's. While I don't consider them mysteries but more dysfunctional family comedies, I always enjoy them, and this one is no exception. These books always fly by way too quickly.
I love books that fly by quickly. Sounds like you had two winners this month. That's good!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely two winners back to back. And I think the next book should be good, too.
DeleteI am very anxiously waiting to read The Last Word - I just won a copy from goodreads.com but waiting for it to ship. I love the series, I'm glad to hear you liked this installment!
ReplyDeleteThe series is always a good read. I'm about half way through now and am having a hard time putting it down.
DeleteLooks like you've been properly entertained with these reads! I am itching for a satisfying piece of fiction. (I mean, other than Narnia. That's always satisfying to me.) But something new. Hoping next month!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find a good new book to read.
DeleteBut really, you can never go wrong with Narnia, especially The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
Those both sound great! I love the books that fly by...but hate it when they end!
ReplyDeleteAgreed. A great book flying by always comes to a bittersweet end.
DeleteThey sound promising! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThey've both been great reads.
DeleteHappy reading to you, too.
