I was surprised I got 9! Love these 4 choices. Recognized some other writers I‘ve read but not the book chosen. I thought Dracula would be on a most influential list but maybe that‘s characterized as a Gothic Horror novel not mystery. Off to add some to my TBR 🤦‍♀️

Realized about 50% in that this was a re-read but, because it‘s been more than a decade, it was essentially a new book😝📚 I‘m enjoying getting re-acquainted with Alex & Milo.

Returning to the beginning of this series after a decade + was a good idea for me. Detective Sturgis & Dr. Delaware didn‘t disappoint me🤓🎧

I read this & several others in my pre-Goodreads days. I‘ve wanted to get back into this for a while & decided that a re-read😱🤯was essential. I enjoyed it & can now carry-on without trying to remember what I‘ve forgotten🤣

Good read! Deep mob connections that made me want to create a character map!

Milo and Alex are called out to a double homocide, a women who is married to a Bel Air Richey Rich and her Italian lover. Which one was the target? As usual (if you read this series) there aren‘t a lot of surprises here. Milo and Alex eating in restaurants, Blanche the French Bulldog begging for table scraps and Robin working on a vintage guitar. Solid predictable read.

Gripping! Alex is called in to monitor an adult put under 48 hour mental health observation because he was supposedly therapist of record. He wasn‘t. He had treated her son. However, shortly after he finds her a home, she is murdered and Alex is concerned about what might have happened to her son. His search turns up more murders, greed and theft.

I didn‘t walk today because I found myself just too tired to do so — probably leftover from COVID — but I did finish The Ghost Orchid. I ended up liking it more than I thought I would because it took some unexpected turns. My favorite part, though, involved a case of Alex‘s that was completely unrelated to the murder.

So far, this is one of the less interesting Alex Delaware books, but it‘s still not bad. Beautiful day out today. #audiowalk
