I’ve admired John Douglas’s work as a criminal profiler with the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit through his true crime books. This book recounts the story of John Robinson, one of America’s first known internet serial killers.

Jim Hutton was Freddie Mercury's partner for 6 years, and this memoir is his tender, candid look at their life together. I very much enjoyed Mercury and Me, despite the terribly sad ending.

Peter Swanson's The Kind Worth Saving delivers twisty suspense & morally complex characters. A solid follow-up to The Kind Worth Killing — not quite as good as the original, but still a fun, entertaining ride.

I’ve been intrigued by Patricia Cornwell’s books for ages. A Goodreads Challenge finally pushed me to read the first book, Postmortem. It was a perfect fit for my interests as a serial murder mystery read like a true crime novel.

Almost to the end of Sue Grafton’s Alphabet series! I feel a bit torn about this one. I loved many of the familiar elements I’ve come to cherish in the series. Unfortunately, the dual storylines became confusing for me.

The Restoration Garden by Sara Blaydes is a dual-timeline historical fiction that weaves between present-day garden restoration at a crumbling English manor and a young woman's life in WWII London. A beautiful, yet suspenseful read.

My first Barbara Kingsolver novel and what an introduction. Demon Copperhead follows a boy from birth to adulthood through poverty, foster care, and addiction. Gritty, unforgettable, full of empathy for Appalachia.

Allen Eskens' The Deep Dark Descending — a detective, the truth about his wife's death, and a thirst for revenge. Converging timelines, moral complexity, a wintry setting. Fast-paced and emotional.

I reread Stephen King’s Dreamcatcher for the Constant Reader book club. It doesn’t hold up well on a reread. I found much of the context repetitive, and my interest in the storyline frequently wavered.
