I was very excited to read a new Michael Connelly book and one that features a totally new character. Detective Stilwell works for the Sheriff's office and is in charge of the station on Catalina Island. He is confronted with several odd cases, one a murder. He then goes forth to solve the cases. Unfortunately, the detective assigned to the murder case is an ex-partner that hates Stilwell. There is a lot going on here and as with most Connelly novels everything is resolved in reasonable way. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I like Stilwell and the people in Stilwell's life. I like that he has a stable girlfriend and that while he was assigned to Catalina as punishment makes it his home. It is a good read and I kind of want to go visit Catalina next time that I am in the LA area. ]]> Review7618574077 Sun, 01 Jun 2025 11:11:33 -0700 /review/show/7618574077 Greg gave 4 stars to A Thief Of Time (Navajo Mysteries, #8) by Tony Hillerman

Gripping action from beginning to end and yet Box still leaves time for plenty of character building. ]]> Review7586802294 Tue, 20 May 2025 23:49:40 -0700 /review/show/7586802294 Greg gave 5 stars to Below Zero (Joe Pickett, #9) by C.J. Box

I like these books. Not too serious, pretty easy to read, fun, I can't complain about them. My singular complaint has do with needing someone so edit the book for grammatical and spelling mistakes because there are enough that I notice it. Small petty complaint but otherwise excellent read. ]]> Review7573999903 Fri, 16 May 2025 09:00:27 -0700 /review/show/7573999903 Greg gave 4 stars to Hard Bargain (Paperback) by Steven S. DeKnight
Felt a little like a TV series that failed to get made but was a solid read. Art was good too. 1940 Los Angeles, supernatural detective Frank Harding's friends are suddenly being mutilated. Causes Frank to go back and look at a past case and remember his youth. It was a fun read. ]]> Review7567859595 Tue, 13 May 2025 23:38:39 -0700 /review/show/7567859595 Greg gave 5 stars to The Lonely Silver Rain (Hardcover) by John D. MacDonald
Wow, what a series. I am so glad to have spent the last four or five years making my way through the world of Travis McGee and John D. MacDonald. I loved it all. This last book has classic McGee and goes full nostalgic mode. It is a fun easy read and a great end to this series. ]]>
