pickThis was another good novel by J.A. Jance. Sheriff Joanna Brady finds herself solving three murders in the extreme heat of summer in the Arizona desert. This time there are some very disturbing facts to be dealt with. Joanna handles the situations as they arise.
There were about three thousand active satellites up in the sky, he'd read. Some twenty-thousand pieces of orbital debris. At any given moment, an average of nine thousand passenger planes flying.
And yet, he'd thought as he walked, without the last of the dinosaurs the sky would be empty.
pickBK's first novel? It's safe to say she hit the ground running!
I love how she writes her characters and shows how interdependent they all are on each other.
Others of hers I've read (and loved) do tend towards the didactic: here, the surprise was humour.
Despite the horrible, horrible things that happen off the page, it's a book that restores my faith in people (which is no mean feat!) My book of the month, for sure.
pickWhile I mostly liked this book, it did get a little repetitive. There was also one instance where Cork didn‘t act quite right given the situation. I found it difficult to believe that neither the sheriff nor Cork‘s enemies noticed it. It could have changed the course of the events if they had. #audiowalk
It was so pretty outside today but still a little chilly. I didn‘t walk as far as I did yesterday so I didn‘t get as far in the book. It‘s weird to read one where Cork‘s kids barely show up. #audiowalk
It‘s been awhile since I‘ve listened to a Cork O‘Connor novel, so this next in the series for me is my new #audiowalk book. I did a lot of walking and driving today, so I‘m almost halfway through already. It‘s nice to be back in Cork‘s world even though we‘re in Arizona for this one instead of Minnesota.
pickArizona sheriff Joanna Brady has to solve multiple murders in the novel. A trusted teacher is among those found murdered. The plot thickens when we find out the teacher is not who the public thought she was. Students are interviewed and are possible subjects of interest. The story has several different side line sub-plots which have the characters intertwined. If you enjoy J. A. Jance‘s writing you will enjoy this story.
pickThe latest Chet and Bernie story finds our duo heading to Colorado in search of a missing…individual. It was fun to see them in a different setting and this is a great addition to the series. If you love dogs but haven‘t read these, you must! Start with book 1, Dog On It. You won‘t be sorry!
pickThis one was really good... actually, I finished this one right around November 10th.
Didn't learn anything more new.
I like how this was about the characters and less about tthe graphic crimes. Although this made more of a crime drama than a mystery.
Want to know if Bonzo survived? I will post as a spoiler in comments 👇.
