What Fiction are you reading this week, March 12, 2023? [View all]
Got the time?
Reading
Unwanted by Kristina Ohlsson..."keeping readers captivated with suspense until its powerful conclusion." That's for sure. A little girl goes missing in Sweden and we are introduced to the team of federal investigators assigned to what, at first, seems to be a typical custody dispute. These investigators are not your typical detectives found in American and British novels. They seem somewhat inept, self-centered and sexist. We get to learn a great deal about their private lives, and thoughts.
Then the story turns extremely dark.
Listening to
Agatha Raisin and the Deadly Dance by M. C. Beaton. Agatha decides to open up her own detective agency and finds the only cases she can get are lost cats and an errant teenager. There's finally a murder, though, and Agatha is once again in trouble with French and British police; on the outs with old friends--and in the sights of a murderer.
Moving forward, what books will you find time for this week?
