Welcome to Litsy!

Milo and Alex are called out to a double homocide, a women who is married to a Bel Air Richey Rich and her Italian lover. Which one was the target? As usual (if you read this series) there aren‘t a lot of surprises here. Milo and Alex eating in restaurants, Blanche the French Bulldog begging for table scraps and Robin working on a vintage guitar. Solid predictable read.

I didn‘t walk today because I found myself just too tired to do so — probably leftover from COVID — but I did finish The Ghost Orchid. I ended up liking it more than I thought I would because it took some unexpected turns. My favorite part, though, involved a case of Alex‘s that was completely unrelated to the murder.

So far, this is one of the less interesting Alex Delaware books, but it‘s still not bad. Beautiful day out today. #audiowalk

Because of Covid and the fatigue from it, I have not walked for 17 days. I was finally able to do so today. I always love a new Alex Delaware book, so this one is my new walking book. #audiowalk

From the months-ago library wait-list request to approximately page 200, when the orchid becomes significant to the plot, I thought the title was “The Ghost Orchard.” 🤷‍♀️
ANYWAY:
Kellerman is one of my auto-read authors and I am absolutely delighted to have ignored every and all active, productive, social, responsible plans I had for today so I could double down on hanging with Alex, Milo, Blanche and Robin. 📖

This book could have been so much better. It had great promise but fell flat. The solution was so so easy. And the final chapter supposedly tied up the secondary theme, but seemed so…odd. Final analysis: meh. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
