Another solid mystery here, although another weird side story with a devil-worshipping church/sex cult... Do we really need details on the sex cult?? I don't think so. Anyway. Reading these in order has definitely given me a lot of insight into the cast of regular characters, and I like how McBain will circle back around to situations and forward them, although his habit of killing people off can be stressful 😂

It's almost March!! I'm not ready!! #WeeklyForecast - really looking to get this batch of 87th Precinct books back to the library!! I finished Lullaby last night & started the tagged. After that, it's on to March's "assigned" reading, plus buddy reads (to the right). Some solid reads in the queue that I'm excited to read!!

TheAromaofBooks @Bookzombie - Thank you!! My husband built these last year. The stained wood in the foreground is hickory from the orchard where I work and it's soooo pretty in real life!! 3y
