Book 11 of 2014 – NYPD Puzzle (Puzzle Lady #15) – Parnell Hall – (plus a video from Parnell)
Through the years one of my favorite mystery series has been Parnell Hall’s Stanley Hasting mysteries. Looking at my Goodreads bookshelf I see, that there are 18 books in the series. and I have read all but one of them!! (Note to self read Caper- damn I thought I did??) That is not the case with Hall’s Puzzle Lady series, there are 15 books in that series, of which I have read 3.(1,8,&15) No. 15 is NYPD Puzzle and it is book 11 for 2014….
Book 10 of 2014 – Stone Cold – C J Box
Some writers take many pages to hook you and reel you into the story. In the latest Joe Pickett novel, C.J. Box does it in the first paragraph of the book!! When Nate Romanowski pushes a drift boat in to the Bighorn River and sets sail down river toward the mansion of the man he is going to kill!! Now if this is the first book of the series, you may just like Box’s descriptive prose, but if you’ve read a few of the books or in my case all but one of the fourteen books in the series, you said to yourself “Nate is going to murder someone!” Whoa, this is not going to end well! See Nate is the shadowy friend of Joe and his family, and always seems to arrive on the scene when Joe needs him the most, but he is also on the run from the Feds. Can this be why?? So starts Book 10 for 2014, Stone Cold from C J Box….
