pickI‘m in a cozy mystery mood. A young Cuban American mother reluctantly moves to the affluent Miami suburbs to be closer to her in laws. And you guessed it - gets tangled in a murder investigation. What I enjoyed was the peak into Cuban American culture and food.

I recently (finally) started watching Dexter: New Blood, which is a solid continuation after a couple supremely disappointing seasons of the original run. I remember enjoying the first book, but having no urge to continue the series.
“While we ate, Mami sat as far from us as she could. Omar couldn‘t get off work, I kept slurring, even after Leidy kicked and kicked my shin under the table each time I forced out the excuse. Dante crawled around on the floor next to her, moving from cousin to cousin, begging to be lifted. I kicked Leidy back and said it anyway - Next year, you‘ll see - to Neyda, to people who‘d been whispering about my mom‘s outburst, her door-slamming . . .”
pickMore #audiostitching while listening to Ruby's wild story. She stands accused of murdering the husband she adored which is ironic given that she's gotten away with three actual murders. I was so conflicted! I wanted her to be exonerated, as she was innocent of the murder she was accused of. But but but, there were those other murders. 😏 This was fun.
pickThese are the most satisfying short stories I have ever read.
pickAudiobook pick: This is my second book from this author and I'm officially a fan. He is just really funny. The good thing about being late to the party in an author's popularity, is he has a lot of books out there. His books seem like they would translate well to movies and they are full of action and snarky/absurd humor.
A strong entry to the series. Pendergast is always a treat. Complex and interesting as usual.

pickCorruption in the DEA office. A lawyers tries to find the truth. This book keeps you on your toes. One spot for #ISpyBingoApril. Yep, I'm still working on these.
