Finished two books and have started a new one.

 

Our internet has been out all week.  I think something froze/ broke with the weather here in Dallas, TX.

So,  I have a couple of books to report on.  This Simon Canderous series is what I called tongue-in-cheek and by that I mean a similar roller coaster ride to the Indiana Jones movies or Star Wars.  Simon is a wise cracker humorist in dark situations, which he has in common with Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the new fun series on Sci-Fi--Resident Alien (title character doesn't know he is funny) which gets funnier each week. This is the first time we have encountered vampires in this series, and I do like quirky vampires.  I've been enjoying this series and will buy more.

I have now started You Don't Own Me, Under Suspicion # 6 by Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke.  I enjoy this series very much.  This time a young woman is under suspicion of having killed her husband (or having him killed) six years ago, but the police never found enough evidence to arrest her.  Her in-laws are adamant that she is guilty and have come to Laurie Moran at Key News to ask her to prove it on her Under Suspicion tv show.  This requires even more than the usual diplomacy on Laurie's behalf to get all parties to agree to be interviewed on camera

.

And now I am reading Moon Hunt, another Novel of North America's Forgotten Past.  The first part of the book is occupied with the politics of Cahokian life, completely saved from boredom by Seven Skull Shield, thief and rogue who works as one of our protagonist's spies.  His antics often make me laugh out loud, and his dog is a great match for him.  I have only gotten to the actual beginning of the plot now, but I have been thoroughly entertained.
