What Fiction are you reading this week, October 1, 2023? [View all]

Really.

I'm reading Dead Cold Brew by Cleo Coyle, a Coffeehouse Mystery. This cozy starts off with a bang. Seems someone wants to shoot as many policemen as they can. Lots of suspense. I was quite amused to see there's a bad guy named De Santis. This was published in 2016 so moRon was not too well known then. But he had been up to no good for several years so I don't know if the name was intentional or just a happy accident.

I just started listening to The Wedding Guest by Jonathan Kellerman. Psychologist Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis dig into a shocking crime at a raucous wedding reception in this gripping psychological thriller.

What books are you starting off with this week?
