Welcome, KatW, I hope you will enjoy Book and Reader. I'm an omnivorous reader, so I'm apt to read most any genre. Most of the time, I read mysteries and history/biography. I'm currently reading Estelle Ryan's THE BRAQUE CONNECTION. Its protagonist is Genevieve Lenard, an autistic expert in the interpretation of body language. She works in France for an insurance company where she assists in preventing fraud and catching thieves by analysis of interviews and reports to detect lies and to recognize hidden patterns in the crimes. It's the third in the series. Interesting because it's told from her point of view, and she's very much a dynamic character. This series is best read in order--THE GAUGIN CONNECTION (1) and THE DANTE CONNECTION (2).I'm currently reading Endless Game, written by Eris Eden. It's quite a new book on the market, I haven't seen author anywhere before, but... It blew my mind, that book. Last time I was reading was Game of Thrones books, and they left me wanting for more realistic, down-to-the-ground fiction... And then I came across the Endless Game, and I was like... wow.
It's still fresh in my mind, since I read it only yesterday, and on amazon Kindle you can get it for free... which is a cool deal. I must let some review in return for this awesome free read...

Great book. It was great all the way through from start to finish. Maybe you would enjoy this book too.https://amzn.to/37PGpg2
I'm trying to decide if I liked Alice LaPlante's new book, A Circle of Wives. It's about a Stanford plastic surgeon who's found dead of an apparent heart attack in a Palo Alto hotel room. There are some forensic details that make it look like murder, and when the cops find out he's currently married to three women, their suspicions deepen. The book is narrated in turns by four women: each widow and the young Palo Alto detective, Samantha Adams, assigned to investigate.
Why the mixed thoughts about the book? The dead doc never really came alive for me, and I didn't find myself much intrigued by how the dastardly deed was done; in fact, an experienced crime fiction reader won't be too surprised. What I liked were the character portraits of the three widows, their distinct voices, and the examination of their choices. (Deborah, the wife of 30 years, is a force in local social circles; MJ, the wife of 3 years, is an aging hippie/accountant; Helen, the wife of 6 months, is an LA pediatric oncologist.) And I liked Sam Adams, who's in a perplexing long-term relationship of her own with an overly laid-back grad student.
Not as much fun as her earlier Turn of Mind.
