pickThis was a real mystery and a thriller. The unanswered questions kept me turning pages. I enjoyed the mystery and questions forming in my mind. The characters had mostly good intentions. If you like a medium paced novel, with lots of intrigue and tension, this book would be a good one to pick up. I gave this a solid 4.5/5.
pickA beautifully written book about a young woman who sublimates her own scientific ambitions in order to accompany her older “scientific genius” husband working in Los Alamos in the 1940s. There is some lovely nature writing in here as she continues to spend time watching birds in New Mexico. For all that this sounds like my kind of quiet thoughtful book, i struggled to connect with the protagonist and her timidity. Probably me and not the book!
pickI enjoy reading older mysteries, but the open racism and xenophobia can sometimes be a distraction. It was interesting, then, in this one, when the main character's preconceptions caused her to miss what was really happening. I enjoyed the easy dialogue and it felt (again, except for the open racism) much more recent than the 1940s. I would like to read more in this series--if I can find them. The others might be out of print.
This is the 3rd book in the Sunshine Vicram series which should be read in order and not stand alone. it begins with a plot in book one which is gradually revealed through the following books. What doesn't change is the witty sarcasm that makes Sunshine Vicram a likeable protagonist. This is addition does not disappoint with the mystery, wit and humor. A fun cozy mystery series.
This is book 2: Sunshine Vicram series. You would think that life in a small town would be peaceful and less than exciting but not in Del Sol! From a menacing racoon to handling assaults, she has to reel in her daughter who seems to be drawn to trying to solve crime as well. The story has serious topics which are addressed with mystery and just the right amount of sarcastic humor which makes Sunshine a character you want to have a happy ending.
pickI‘m not ready for it to be over 😩😩😩.

John Nichols died yesterday. Years ago, I devoured his fiction when I lived in the Southwest. RIP.
