A new author to me. She is a Minnesotan and a member of the Turtle Mountain band of Chippewa. So far Louise Erdrich has brought a attention to the plight of the Chippewa Indian Nation as well as other Indian Nations in the 1950's. Historically accurate and the pictures she paints with her words invites me to imagine how hard life was for the proud people of these indigenous tribes.

First read for this author. James Byrne currently resides in Portland, Oregon. Dez Limerick series. Book #1. A very entertaining introduction to our protagonist Des Limerick- "Desmond Aloysius Limerick is a man with a shadowy past anad certain useful hard-won skills, Now retired from his previous life, Dez is just a bloke with a winning smile, a bass guitar, and bullet wounds that paint a road map of past lives."

Elvis Cole is visiting a friendly (or not) parish in Louisiana where he uncovers something sinister. With the help of a accomplished (and attractive) attorney something big is being uncovered. More to come.

Interesting read, building steam and I can feel the tension building.

New authors. The opening shows promise for the novel. I'm ready.

A new author that I came across. M.S Morris is a husband and wife team that create deep character development and complex plots in their crime fiction and psychological stories. I am impressed as to how this book is reading. More to come.

Maisie is on her way in this new assignment.

A new author. Jacqueline Winspear is often compared to Louis Penny.
So far I am liking it. Character development is excellent.

It's good to back in Three Pines.
