This is DC Smith's third investigation with the Diver and Diver Associates agency. They have been asked by a member of Norfolk's aristocracy to look into the tragic death of her younger brother, Freddie, the late Lord Thorpe of the title. The inquest verdict was of misadventure, but it isn't long before Smith begins to suspect there has been a serious miscarriage of justice.

The head of Scotland’s most powerful crime family is brutally murdered, his body dumped inside an ancient grave in a remote cemetery. Detectives Max Craigie and Janie Calder arrive at the scene, a small town where everyone has secrets to hide. They soon realise this murder is part of a blood feud between two Scottish families that stretches back to the 1800s. One thing’s for certain: it might be the latest killing, but it won’t be the last.

I loved this one, look forward to many more adventures with DC and Jo, and their dog. Humor, pathos, and never a dull moment. Maybe they should open their own detective agency.

Reacher goes where he wants, when he wants. That morning he was heading west, walking under the merciless desert sun — until he comes upon a curious scene. A Jeep has crashed into the only tree for miles around. A woman is slumped over the wheel. Dead? No, nothing is what it seems. The woman is Michaela Fenton, an army veteran turned FBI agent trying to find her twin brother, who might be mixed up with some dangerous people. Most of them would rather die than betray their terrifying leader.

I Don't Know This Jack

- Better Off Dead
- Jack Reacher, Book 26
- De: Lee Child, Andrew Child
- Narrado por: Scott Brick
Not up to the quality of the old Jack Reacher
Revisado: 11-05-21
The story was sort of blah, lots of details about each individual fight, lots of over-thinking of the fight strategies. At first there was actually a bit of humor in that regard (sort of out of character for Reacher in any case) but it vanished and the story just slogged on. What was worse was the narration - I'm so sorry to be critical, but really, it was annoyingly over-dramatized, each conjunction, noun, and verb given monumental importance that didn't make up for the blandness of the story. Since I've been a great fan of Reacher since his inception, I'm sad to see the process of "dwindle" at work, but understand why Child(s) would think it's time to retire. With this body of work in hand, he/they have every right to pack it in and enjoy the rewards of a job well done. Thanks for many years of having enriched my life with your delightful story-telling, and I'll be looking for Killing Fields on Amazon coming up next year.

On their first night in Paris, the Gamaches gather as a family for a bistro dinner with Armand’s godfather, the billionaire Stephen Horowitz. But an attempt on the elderly man’s life sends Armand, his wife, Reine-Marie, and his former second-in-command at the Sûreté, Jean-Guy Beauvoir, from the top of the Tour d’Eiffel, to the bowels of the Paris Archives, from luxury hotels to odd, coded works of art. It sends them deep into the secrets Armand’s godfather has kept for decades.

Quantity vs Quality
Revisado: 09-04-20
I am a total devotee of Louise Penny, and have gratefully immersed myself in her series, not just once, but multiple times. They get better with each reading, and I adore her.
That said, I found this book to be less of a fine, gourmet meal than a smorgasbord. Too many characters brought in and forgotten, too much high drama that went nowhere, and what amounted to two different endings. The first was true to the honesty and spirit of her previous books, the latter was contrived to give us a "happily ever after" experience. It's especially disappointing as I'd been counting the days until I could download the audible book and indulge myself once again in a magical Louise Penny novel.
Everyone is entitled to a less-than-perfect performance from time to time, and I've been in awe of Ms. Penny's ability to maintain the quality of her writing through such a long - and wishfully endless - series of books. So I'm inclined to see this one as just an "adjustment" like we see in the stock market upon occasion, and I'll be salivating over the prospect of her next book as always. But maybe I'll tamp down my anticipation just a bit so - should this one mark a new trend - I won't be so disappointed.

If you thought magic was confined to one country - think again. Trier: famous for wine, Romans, and being Germany's oldest city. When a man is found dead with his body impossibly covered in a fungal rot, the local authorities know they are out of their depth. But fortunately this is Germany, where there are procedures for everything. Enter Tobias Winter, an investigator for the Abteilung KDA, the branch of the German Federal Criminal Police which handles the supernatural.

Many who visit the valley are overwhelmed by its majesty. Some wish they never had to leave. One didn't: a hiker whose decomposing corpse is discovered by an unsuspecting tourist. But this strange, incomprehensible murder is only the edge of the darkness that hovers over a small rural village and its tight-lipped residents, who guard shattering secrets of sordid pasts and private shames. Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks knows that both the grim truth and a cold-blooded killer are hiding here....

No depth in characters, but the narrator was fabulous. Unfortunately it almost seemed the characters were more like caricatures and I couldn’t bring myself to care what happened to them.

New York Times best-selling author Kim Stanley Robinson returns with a bold and brilliant vision of New York City in the next century. As the sea levels rose, every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island. For the residents of one apartment building in Madison Square, however, New York in the year 2140 is far from a drowned city. There is the market trader, who finds opportunities where others find trouble. There is the detective, whose work will never disappear—along with the lawyers, of course.
