Second in the series. A man is poisoned by a cup of coffee he made himself while home alone. His wife was on another island at the time. The man’s girlfriend is the one who finds his body. And the lead detective is falling in love with the new widow. Seems like it’s a case of murder, but the police cannot find proof or even a solid motive. They’ll eventually need the help of the physics professor who has helped on past cases.

Look Closer

I listened to this audiobook on Libby because it was picked for the Portland State alumni book club. I enjoyed the various perspectives and unreliable narrators in this tale of a Halloween murder. The plot skips around in time and feels like a tangled web of infidelity, betrayal, and financially motivated deceit. While rather elaborate in plotting and timeline, I did enjoy this twists and felt it was well paced.

Sometimes "webcomic" can be an inadvertent insult--NOT IN THIS CASE! SUPER MEGA FUN!

Sandwich

3.5 stars. This book seemed to have quite a bit of buzz when it was first released and made it back on my TBR with the recent paperback release (and Indie Next pick). I listened to this relatively short book on Libby. I struggle with rating this book because I have mixed feelings. A lot of the family interactions and loose plot fell flat for me. The timeline bounced around a bit, confusing me at times in reference to her daughter’s age for example. The humor around menopause was a highlight for sure! The discussion of motherhood, pregnancy and loss was complicated and thought-provoking.

The Comfort Crisis

This book was recommended by a coworker and I listened to the audio via Libby. Overall, this book gave me a lot to think about regarding current comforts, personal physical challenges, and mental fortitude. While I may not follow through with all of the book’s calls to action, I do think I’ll try to embrace some of its spirit.

I really like this book because it has gems in it and I like Amaya. I think someone else would like it because it has a girl who really likes her friends and they go into a place called gem world. I really like how at the end she gets her brother back and she gets her parents back with her brother.
