What Fiction are you reading this week, December 26, 2021?

[hermetic]

I must have been really good this year because Santa brought me State of Terror by Hilary Clinton & Louise Penny. Also Lee Child's Night School. Heather Graham's Ghost Night. Murder on an Irish Farm by Carlene O'Connor. And The Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel.

First, though, I'm reading my library book, Silverview, John Le Carre's final novel. It's every bit as good as one would expect from the Master Spy storyteller. I'm intermingling this with The Usual Santas, short stories of crime capers.

Listening to A Hiss Before Dying by Rita Mae Brown, a "contemporary mystery involving wild animal poaching, set against a historical narrative that takes place in America's post-revolutionary past." Really interesting, informative, and entertaining.

Did you get anything new to read?

Have a happy and safe New Year's.
