pickI don‘t read many thrillers anymore but every once in a while one captured me. Redemption Road is a dark, multi-layered slow-burn mystery featuring a rich North Carolina setting and a cast of complex characters seeking justice, revenge, and redemption in their own ways. Hart successfully balances multiple mysteries, ask the hard questions about justice and revenge, and keeps the suspense up to the very end. Excellent!
1. No. I used to be really good about doing them as soon as my W-2 arrived. Last year, I didn‘t get around to it until 4/11. This year, I did them Sunday night. 🤦🏻♀️

Wow! I liked this one even better than Creep. While I did see one of the twists coming, I still enjoyed it thoroughly.
pickWow, this was a multifaceted gem of a book. It‘s so hard to describe, it‘s nuanced, extremely descriptive, spans 1973-2025. A bit haunting. In one day a family of four gets torn apart. There are unanswered questions. Starts out slow and convoluted, but eventually it flows. I enjoyed it. Would make a great book club pick.
pickGordon returns to his hometown after spending 25 years in prison. He returns to a neighborhood that is riddled with crime, an elderly neighbor who is afraid of him, a teenager in desperate straits, a brother who has resented him for years, and a lonely woman who has visited him while he was in prison and hopes to have a relationship with Gordon. It‘s a lot for a guy who just wants to lay low and stay out of trouble. I couldn‘t stop reading it.
#Prison (er) is my favorite HP book. My daughter and I are starting a HP read through this year and I can't wait to get to this one.
