One Crazy Summer

it has been.  For everyone I am sure.  And I am behind on my reading, and VERY behind on updating my blog.
I am sure so many are disappointed!
So I am going to do a little catching up!
First of all, I am thrilled to get even deeper into Michael Koryta.  I have just finished his Lincoln Perry series.  And while Mr. Perry isn't one of my most favorite detectives, Koryta writes a great mystery.  I just personally don't think Perry is a guy with whom I would hang.  Not like sweet Virgil or crazy Stone or smart-butt and smart-mind Lucas.
I read a non-Perry Koryta book If She Wakes along with The Prophet  and Those Who Wish Me Dead and really enjoyed them, especially TP.  Looking forward to more books from Mr. Koryta!

 

  

Spenser Eternal

Robert B. Parker's Lullaby was extremely satisfying.  Ace Atkins has done a wonderful job of keeping Spenser, Hawk, Vinnie Morris, Susan and all of the RBP folks alive.  I couldn't be more thankful for the witty dialog between Spenser and well, everyone, but especially Hawk.  Dino and Stone used to be that way before Stuart Woods quit trying. 
In this Spenser story, a fourteen year old girl from Southie, Mattie Sullivan, asks Spenser to take down the men she believes murdered her mother four years ago. 
I loved Mattie and wonder if she'll be back around, and I hope so.
Thank you Mr. Atkins.  And as always, thank you Mr. Parker.
