Finished HUMANICIDE

 

He wants to wipe out Humanity, for its own good.  This is the last of the Star Time series, on the Earth.  I absolutely love this author.  Luckily there are still more books he has written.  In this one, I wondered if he had left the YA genre he usually writes in.  But no, I don't think so.  He is just writing for a bright science oriented young adult, and, it seems, also for this 76 year old woman.

I have now started reading The Peaceful Season, by Melanie Lageschulte.  Sweet account of life on a farm in a small town.

Finished EYE OF THE WOLF

 

I love these Wind River Mysteries.  Father O'Malley has received a cryptic and frightening message that leads him to find three bodies at a battle site.  The three happen to be Shoshones who immediately are sure that an Arapaho killed them.  The situation threatens to erupt into war on the reservation.  Good plot and we got to see all of our favorite characters again.

I have now started  Humanicide, the last in Melton's Earth Saga, which goes far into the future.  The moon has been terraformed and two large asteroids have also been pulled into stable Earth orbit and terraformed.  A mysterious doctor has just come to one of them and notices a cough which seems the same an coughs she has noticed on all three satellites. This shouldn't be possible since the populations are isolated from each other.

Finished I'VE GOT MY EYES ON YOU

 

As good as ever.  I did figure out who the culprit was this time, but there weren't many suspects.  Enjoyed it regardless.

I have now just barely begun Eye of the Wolf, another Wind River Mystery.

Finished SWEET AND DEADLY

 

Short quickly read little mystery shows that sometimes wracking your brain for a motive is futile...  Enjoyable, but I love her fantasies much more.

I am now about to start what is one of the last (if not the last) books Mary Higgins Clark wrote.  She will be missed.

Finished MURDER ON A MIDSUMMER NIGHT

 

I am always amazed about how much happens in these short books.  This one was longer than most, but there were 2 mysteries this time and of course we have to check in with all of the growing number of family and friends in Phryne's life.  I enjoy all these colorful characters, as well as the new ones involved in each mystery.

I have now started Sweet and Deadly by Charlaine Harris.  It is one of her mysteries, a genre of her's I've not read before.  I miss the fantasy factor.

Finished PAPER MONEY and two others

 

This was delightful.  Complicated double caper.  Great characters.  Loved the ending....don't give up early.  Lots of characters, but they straightened themselves out as I continued reading.

Reading has been difficult with no right hand, but, as it gradually gets better, I've been able to read more and more.  My typing is better also, but really tiring.

I started Summon the Keeper by Tanya Huff the day after I finished  Paper Money.  I had read her Blood series and her Smoke series.  Then when there didn't appear to be any more books with those characters, I quit, though I have looked in on her site every so often, hoping for more.  But now, as I seem to be running low on Kim Harrison books, I decided to check out some of Tanya's other series.  This was delightful.  Claire has special powers to protect Earth from accidental interfacing with other dimensions.  Now she finds herself in a hotel with a comatose witch and a hellmouth in the basement.  Though the plot proceeded slowly, the lively characters kept the story moving and I very much enjoyed it.

I have now started Murder on a Midsummer Night, another Miss Fisher mystery.  She now finds herself wirh two cases:  the death of a young man ruled suicide by the police and a search for a child a woman, now deceased, may have given birth to 65 years ago.  Both cases look unsolvable.
