Historia
Detective Superintendent Peter Diamond is the last detective: a genuine gumshoe, committed to door-stopping and deduction rather than fancy computer gadgetry. So when the naked body of a woman is found floating in the weeds in a lake near Bath with no one willing to identify her, no marks, and no murder weapon, his sleuthing abilities are tested to the limit.

The story kept getting more interesting

The story started with interest in characters, and then it got even better. As the detective explored all the connections, fascinating new characters were revealed.

Historia
What’s in a name? A lot. The name Tinaca, for example, has been passed down in the Jones family for generations of women. In fact, the Joneses name a Tinaca every other generation, to let the name breathe a little. To let each Tinaca shine. And shine is exactly what Tinaca Jones intends to do.

Hilarious story of a woman who knows exactly how smart she is
Revisado: 02-19-21
Tinaca Jones tells the truth, and it’s not what you expect. She speaks with front porch tones, but she is clearly not planning on living life on any front porch. When someone steals her name, she doesn’t take it lying down. I love this book every time I listen to it.

Historia
In September 1969, a fumbling, cranky old church deacon known as Sportcoat shuffles into the courtyard of the Cause Houses housing project in south Brooklyn, pulls a .38 from his pocket, and, in front of everybody, shoots the project's drug dealer at point-blank range. The reasons for this desperate burst of violence and the consequences that spring from it lie at the heart of Deacon King Kong, James McBride's funny, moving novel and his first since his National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird.

Young women in a hostile environment
Revisado: 09-07-20
I felt close to the two protagonists, one from 1940 and the other from 2018.
I loved spending time with them in Edenton, North Carolina as they struggled toward happiness.

This was one of my favorite Tess Monaghan stories. I liked the lost young women and I admired Tess’ bold and clever search for them. And the way Tess confronted corrupt antagonists.

Historia
Claire DeWitt is not your average private investigator. She has brilliant skills of deduction and is an ace at discovering evidence. But Claire also uses her dreams, omens, and mind-expanding herbs to help her solve mysteries, and relies on Détection—the only book published by the great and mysterious French detective Jacques Silette before his death.

This was a beautiful visit to New Orleans at a tragic time. As always, we meet a fascinating cast of characters and explore a complex plot. I wish there were more authors like Sara Gran.

Historia
Taking place three years after The Bean Trees, Taylor is now dating a musician named Jax and has officially adopted Turtle. But when a lawyer for the Cherokee Nation begins to investigate the adoption—their new life together begins to crumble. Depicting the clash between fierce family love and tribal law, poverty and means, abandonment and belonging, Pigs in Heaven is a morally wrenching, gently humorous work of fiction that speaks equally to the head and the heart.

The main character is a clever, thoughtful Northern Irish police detective
Revisado: 08-14-19
I became a fan as soon as Sean Duffy navigated the first big twist in the story, and I was never disappointed as Duffy traveled to England and Finland and back home to find the truth. I was intrigued by the entire cast of characters. Justice is hard to come by, but in the end we do get enough to tide us over until we can read the sequel.
