Lone Jack Trail by Owen Laukkanen
Wanted for murder,
Burke must find the real killer
to clear his own name.
Mystery .... 322 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(This one was just as good as the first one, Deception Cove.)
A Perilous Perspective by Anna Lee Huber
Some art forgeries.
Secrets from the past. And two
new murders to solve.
Historical mystery .... 387 pages .... 5/5 stars.
(I loved this latest Lady Darby mystery; Kiera and Gage have become such favorite characters.)
Compared by Kortney Keisel
Widowed father meets
son's second grade teacher; fun
romance ensues.
Romantic comedy .... 296 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(Sweet and cute; I especially liked Tyler and his son, Krew.)
Happy Reading!
You pack a lot into your haiku reviews.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I try to get to the heart of things, but it's not always easy in only 17ish words. :)
DeleteJust the facts in these haiku review - love it!
ReplyDeleteWhen you're counting words you have to keep it short and to the point. ;D

ReplyDeleteAs always, I have really enjoyed reading this. Thanks.
Glad you stopped by! :)
DeleteI have one book by Laukkanen on my shelves, and it is his first. It is about time I read it. He is a Canadian writer and I am doing a Canadian Reading Challenge this year.

ReplyDeleteI love her Lady Darby series! (Obviously.) And Laukkanen's books are really good, too. :)
DeleteMore books to be added to my ever-growing reading list. For each book that I finish reading, I seem to add two or three more.
ReplyDeleteYou, too? Only I seem to add five or six titles for every one book that I read to my own ever-growing TBR list. ;D
