Lethal White (Cormoran Strike #4) by Robert Galbraith

Lethal White

3.5 stars

I really enjoy this book series, but this was my least favorite book so far. The story starts out with a young man named Billy visiting Strike at his office. The man clearly has mental health issues, with paranoid delusions. He insists that when he was a young child he witnessed another child being killed near his home. His story is disjointed and incomplete. Before Strike can find out more, Billy dashes out of Strike’s office. Continue reading “Lethal White (Cormoran Strike #4) by Robert Galbraith” →

Burning Ridge (Timber Creek K-9 Mystery #4) by Margaret Mizushima

Burning Ridge

4 stars

This is another great book in the Timber Creek K-9 Mystery series. The author delves deeper into Mattie’s relationship with veterinarian Cole and others in her community, but there is still plenty of action and mystery to keep the reader interested.

The story is compelling and the characters are interesting. Even when you think you’ve figured the mystery out, you’re not quite sure you know the truth.
