pickMuch to my delight, once I got past the prologue, which I must have read as an excerpt previously, I discovered I hadn‘t read the latest Elvis Cole/Joe Pike book. Hands down one of my favorite ongoing series—love the way Crais writes about LA, love his characters. He is a master at establishing place, writing dialog, & creating a fabulous noir vibe in his mysteries. This one? Desperate mom, daring thieves, stone cold killers, Cole & Pike.❤️❤️❤️
Sun‘s up and so is everyone else which means I‘m back to this awesomeness! Totally getting a Mr. Croup and Mr. Vandemar vibe from two characters in this book and I am loving it!!!
(I‘m sure it seems as if I have the shortest attention span ever but I can‘t be the only reader who has an eBook to read when it‘s dark and I don‘t want to disturb anyone, and paperback to read when it‘s light out?!? Right?!?)
“...fanciful life construction.”
Ha!
I sort of feel I‘ve read this one...but maybe not?!? (Did I get seduced by cover awesomeness into buying a book I already have? Argh! I just don‘t remember!) So, I thought I‘d read a little because if I have read it, I‘ll send it home with someone else whose plane ride will be immensely improved by the addition of this book to their trip.
You never know what you might find when you wander the airport before your flight...Love this series!!!
#LitsyClassics #MayLovesClassics #day6 #Male In the same vein as yesterday, here are four of my favourite male authors. Even though I do have mostly women on my shelves, there are a few men that are auto-buys for me. Robert Crais because I bought a 2ndhand Elvis Cole novel & fell in love, Stephen King because no one scares the crap outta me more, Peter Robinson because DI Banks is such a great character & Whats not to love about Sir Terry!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Arrrg. I love Robert Crais's books so much that I don't want to stop reading. But then it will be finished ....😟😳😔
My reading has changed and I‘m not a huge fan of mysteries any longer. I‘m sad because I really liked the Elvis Cole books.
pickCant go wrong with Elvis and Joe!!

4. Tagged book, bling ring but gritty with poor kids.
You guys! Robert Crais is going to be at my bookstore tonight. And I can't gooooooo! 😢
pickCrais is a reliable read and this one doesn't disappoint. Entertaining and well plotted and the shifts in points of view work for with his story telling. I'm curious as to where Elvis Cole will be doing in his personal life in the coming books.
Finished my first audiobook of 2018, Persepolis Rising. Now onto book #2, the latest Elvis Cole novel, The Wanted read by Luke Daniels.
I love Elvis and Joe - they can rescue me any time! This quote, while from two of the bad guys, struck a chord with me and all that's been going on in the world lately. They're referring to the shower scene in the movie Psycho. Women are so not powerless any more!
