The Immortal Detective Sneak Peek! (ADULT CONTENT)
Excerpt from Chapter Thirty-Five: Detective Celeste Crenshaw interrogating a witness (Copyright Applies)
I found Liza McCuskey strung out in an alley between a strip joint and
a pawnshop. The report listed her as twenty-two, but she looked every bit
of forty-five. The color of her hair reminded me of chili peppers and hung
limp against bruised and bony shoulders. Her face wasn’t a ray of sunshine;

Thanks for the friend invite, D.B. It's difficult to recommend a favorite book because there are so many that strike me in many different ways. Over the past 5 years though the following have really struck a chord with me.1. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
2. The Last Child by John Hart
3. A Dog's Purpose by W. Bruce Cameron
4. The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson
5. The Name of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
6. The Shadow of The Wind by Carlos Ruis Zafon
7. Little Black Lies by Sharon Bolton
Just a few of my favorites. Looking forward to future bookish discussions. Happy reading in the meantime.

Thanks for the adding. I recommend Elmer Kelton for good westerns and good stories. I have read more than 30 of his books. I really enjoy his style. The time it never rained is his most popular and there are the 3 Hewey Calloway books that are great or there are his 9 books in his Texas rangers series or his sons of Texas trilogy.

Hi D.B. Thx for f.r. I don't hang out in Historical Fictionistas, I've found anther H.F. group that is a better fit for me. But I am open to chat about books and follow friends book reviews. Currently I'm reading the original, musical, lovely The Queen of the Night . (May be based on Mozart opera ? , just slipped my mind,but obviously The Queen of the Night is a major character and a soprano in it.) I like H.F. based on very famous people (usually) so this is a little different for me,but cover grabbed me.

Hi DB! I'm not a fan of Steinbeck but I'm glad you enjoyed Tortilla Flat!
Thank you for the friend request. As for recommendations, it depends on what you like. The first "kept me up all night so I could finish it" thriller I read when I was in college was The Odessa File . I need to re-read it and catch up on more of Forsyth's work.
