pickFor a book about the disappearance of a child, this is a surprisingly quiet, character-driven story. We don‘t remain in ignorance of what happened to Ruthie for very long, and that knowledge allows the story to just flow. After I finished it, I started Way Station, but I think it‘s something my husband will also like, so I‘ll choose a new #audiowalk book, and Way Station will become our road trip listen.
I started this yesterday after finishing Desolation Mountain in the middle of my #audiowalk. It feels very much like William Kent Krueger‘s stand-alone novels — especially This Tender Land. I like it so far.
My boy loved our greenway walk this morning! We usually walk in our neighborhood, so he digs a little change of pace.

pickThis book was more interesting for character growth and a hint at a possible major change than for the plot, which involves a possible conspiracy. I enjoyed it. #audiowalk
Still enjoying this book, and it‘s interesting watching Steven‘s journey to manhood. I hate that white flower in the picture above the book cover. It‘s the only thing I can smell blooming before I see it, and it makes my eyes water and itch and my nose start running. 😣 #audiowalk
It was up in the 80s today, but it was still breezy, so I had a nice #audiowalk. Poor Steven! He‘s going through the young adult thing of wondering what kind of man he is, comparing himself to Cork and to his brother-in-law, Daniel. He‘s finding himself wanting; I‘m sure he‘ll eventually realize he‘s not wanting — he‘s just a different kind of man from them.
This Cork O‘Connor mystery revolves around a vision Steven has. Steven is 20 and in college; he was 5 or 6 when we first met him! Bo Thorsen, from The Devil‘s Bed, also shows up. It was extremely windy outside today. That tree in the bay was not there the day before yesterday; I guess yesterday‘s storm was strong enough to bring it there. #audiowalk
pickI mostly enjoyed this, but, if the sheriff of Tracy‘s hometown had just told her what was going on, nothing would‘ve played out the way it did. But then we‘d have no story, so I guess his secrecy was a necessary plot point. #audiowalk
Out for an #audiowalk with tagged book. It's a great story to consume outside! I'd love to take it to a forest sometime.
I really dislike Tracy‘s captain. They had a bad relationship from when Tracy went to the police academy. He was an instructor and groped her; she broke his nose. Completely appropriate reaction on her part, in my opinion. I think I know where the plot is headed; we‘ll see. #audiowalk
