DEPTH OF WINTER – Craig Johnson
Depth of Winter is the fourteenth book in the Walt Longmire series. I haven’t read all the books in the series yet, though I am working on it. Why? Because they are entertaining. Generally a quick read, with appropriate machismo and suspense. This one fits well alongside the others in the series quite well. Sheriff Continue reading

Four Longmire novels by Craig Johnson
Having watched the Longmire series on Netflix, and awaiting the final season, I went back to the original books and found them much more interesting and delightful than the television series (which I enjoy). For my daily commute I’ve been listening to the books on CD. The narration by George Guidall is incredibly spot on and Continue reading

WHAT THE DEAD LEAVE BEHIND – David Housewright
I don’t know if I’m alone in this feeling or not, but there are a few authors whose work I always enjoy and yet for whatever reason, I don’t seek them out. Yet when I come across one of their books I think, “Oh yeah, I like this writer.” David Housewright is one such author Continue reading

TWO NIGHTS – Kathy Reichs
Chances are, if you picked up this book you did so because of the author, Kathy Reichs, and you know her as the author of the Temperance Brennan (“Bones”) books. This, be aware, is a little bit of a departure for Reichs … but a fascinating one. Sunday Night is a tough woman with a Continue reading

IRONTOWN BLUES – John Varley
I have been reading (and enjoying) the works of John Varley since the mid 1970’s. He is one of the very small handful of authors whose books I will purchase as soon as they come out because a) I want to encourage more books from the author and paying cash for the books is my Continue reading

KILLING RACHEL – Anne Cassidy
I have often enjoyed YA novels but it’s only been in the last couple of years that I’ve come to enjoy mysteries so this is possibly one of the first books I’ve read that is a cross between the two. It also happens to be one of the oldest books in my Advance Reading Copy Continue reading

GONE GIRL – Gillian Flynn
This isn’t typically the sort of book I would naturally pick up on my own, but it’s gotten an awful lot of press and a copy was given to me by a friend (and you should always read the books given to you by a friend). I can understand the interest that this has received Continue reading
