I'm not generally a huge
I'm not generally a huge reader of mysteries (which is odd, because I watch tons of procedural crime shows), but, lately, I've been in the mood for them. What a timely (at least for me!) blog post!
Recently I've read and loved I Hunt Killers, the newest Gallagher Girls Novel (Out of Sight, Out of Time by Ally Carter) and the newest Spellman Files books (The Trail of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz). Next on my list: The Butterfly Clues.
Thanks for the recommendations!
Thanks, Kimberly! I've got I
Thanks, Kimberly! I've got I Hunt Killers and the Butterfly Clues on my ever-overwhelming to-read pile. And, of course, love the Gallagher Girls and the Spellman Files (which I never probably would've read if the first one hadn't been an Alex Award winner, and it's a good thing I did!).
