cbr10bingo…Cannonballer Says I remember hearing or reading something about this book back in April of this year, because that’s when aggregate DNA from family tree / ancestry sites matched the killer’s DNA to an actual person. I’ve always been intrigued by serial killers, and I’ve been reading true crime books since high school. That’s really what drew me in, Michelle partially wrote this book, then passed away, then her husband and another author finished it, it was released, and then through a totally different process, […]
Who is actually in harm’s way here?
This is the fourth book in a series I started at number three. I did go back and read one and two after three though! And then on to four. I like this character – Sheriff Walt Fleming, and the supporting characters – Brandon (the sheriff’s right hand man who is dating his ex wife), Fiona (the crime scene reporter who Walt is in love with), and Beatrice (the lovable dog). You know I’m a sucker for a dog, and she’s a good one! She’s […]
Whoah, this girl is messed up – BINGO
cbr10bingo… Cover Art THIS IS MY FIRST BINGO! (I plan on having more, but we’ll see) I chose this book for “cover art”, because it’s obviously a cool / disturbing cover. We start out the story with a British detective (or inspector, or whatever rank he was at the time) talking to a family about how the pedophile who sexually abused their six year old daughter won’t be brought to justice. It’s devastating to both the family and the detective, because he’s a bad dude […]
I wish I liked the characters more
cbr10bingo… Underrepresented I really wish I liked the main character more. I picked this audiobook (in CD form) up from the library on a whim. The cover looked cool, and the story sounded interesting. I’m always up for a murder mystery with a dash of hidden identities. The main character is Polly / Pauline. She starts out by abandoning her daughter and husband on their beach vacation and driving to Delaware. I don’t know if this was the point, but I didn’t like her right […]
Entertaining thriller; leaned into all the wrong parts. #CBRBingo (3rd Bingo!)
I didn’t expect this book to blow my mind, so I had a good time reading it. It was pretty fucked up, in that what-the-hell-is-going-on sort of way. That made me read it super fast, and I was completely absorbed the whole time. But when the reveal finally happened, it just felt really clichéd the way it played out. This book is about Anna Fox, a former child psychologist, now agoraphobic shut-in, who hasn’t left her house in ten months (almost eleven), and who spends […]
John Rain might be trying to get out of the game?
cbr10bingo… Dream Vacation Ok so this book falls into the “Dream Vacation” category for cbr10bingo for 2 reasons: Tokyo and Osaka: John moved to Osaka to get away from the people who might want to kill him, but he travels back to Tokyo for most of the book. I’ve never particularly wanted to go to Tokyo, but he makes it sound so interesting. He goes to the little places that aren’t touristy, are off the beaten path, and that have great food. The food he […]
