Life Is But a

Walking Shadow(s), a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.  It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Walking Shadows is the twenty-fifth book in the Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus series and I loved, loved, loved it.  Not a surprise, as I love Faye Kellerman and this series!

Please, Ms. Kellerman, allow Peter to be so stubborn as to not listen to Rina's urgings for him to consider retirement!

Unless Rina would then open up her own little PI company....she is just as good (if not better) at detecting that her hubby!

Fantastic! 

Peter and Rina!

How do I love thee?  The Bone Box was another excellent and much anticipated edition to Peter and Rina on the East Coast!  Oh, Faye Kellerman, thank you for sharing your talent with the world!  How I just wish you could write them faster!

Peter and Rina: more east coast crime!

When I read Murder 101, if you remember, I was SO glad that Peter and Rina didn't stop crime busting when they moved to the east coast.  And I was super excited to see that there was another book, The Theory of Death that had already been published!  While said, "WHOA!  How did I miss this?!?"  It was kinda cool that I didn't have to wait for it to be published!  I was able to buy and download it right away on audible because I knew I would love it.
And I did.
THANK YOU, Faye Kellerman!
August has been very Kellermany!
Hooray for #23!  Can't wait for #24!

Peter and Rina! On the East Coast!

So after I finished the last Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus novel by the amazing Faye Kellerman, I wrote to Ms. Kellerman with much worry, that the end of the road had come for PD/RL books.  And she assured me no!  Again, I was so excited that she would take the time to write back to me and then super excited to learn that there were going to be more books!  And this month Murder 101 came out!  I preordered it from audible and jumped right in, very excited to hear that Richard Ferrone was the narrator!  I wrote Ms. Kellerman before I was even done with the book to tell her how much I was enjoying it, and she wrote back again!
I love this new turn that Rina and Peter's life has taken.  I love the setting, the promise that the kids will be still involved and maybe even more so, since they will be close.  I loved, loved, loved all of it.  The only bad thing...gotta wait another year for the next one! But man, these books are worth the wait!

No! No! No!

Is this end of Peter and Rina??  Not as a couple.  But as a series?  The end?  I am not sure!  I wrote Faye Kellerman.  This is the second time I've written her, once to tell her how much I loved Prism, which she wrote with her daughter, Aliza.  She wrote me back!  And it just blew my mind.  To take the time to write back!  So totally cool!  I hope she writes me back this time, too.  Because The Beast left me with a ton of worries!
It also left me, as all of her books do, wishing that she wrote faster!  I love Peter and Rina.  I have learned so much about the Jewish faith from them.  The mysteries are perfect.  Every one keeps me turning the pages quickly, but then feeling very sad when I am done!  Great, great addition to the series, which I hope isn't over!!  And Gabe is in this one!  I love Gabe!

Guns Made America Great

I don't know if I have included this song on my blog before, I just can't seem to find much luck when I "search this blog" sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So sorry if I repeat.
You ever heard this tune:

Guns made America big and strong!
No one's left to save us,
John Wayne's gone!
Everybody's pickin' on the NRA,
Tell 'em guns made American great!
Ha! I found it!

Gun Games is proof that guns aren't so great.

I don't understand the negative reviews for this latest Rina Lazurus/Peter Decker novel. The suspense was so greatly built that I couldn't listen to it in order. By the eighth of ten disks, I had to put the tenth disk in and listen to that, then work backward.
The story surrounds a couple of suicides at a very posh prep school, investigated by Decker. Gabe is a prominent figure, as he falls in love with a young Persian girl and their sweet teen romance is so cute. I know that made some fans angry, that a lot of the time was spent in teen characters, but the books is so well done and well written, it is just awesome. Another excellent book by Faye Kellerman.
