Now thru 1st 100 pages of Extinction/Douglas Preston. At a resort "deep in the Colorado Rockies" guests can experience wolly mammoths and other herbivores "in their native habitat, brought back from extinction through the magic of genetic manipulation. When a billionaire's son and his new wife are kidnapped and murdered in the back country by what is assumed to be a gang of eco-terrorists, Colorado Bureau of Investigation Agent Frances Cash partners with county sheriff James Colcord to track down the perpetrators." Great summer reading.
Read last week #8 Scents and Sensibility. "Chet and his human PI companion, Bernie Little, find themselves in a prickly situation when a mysterious case of illegal cactus smuggling comes to their attention." Great episode in Spencer Quinn's series. Did you know they microchip rare saguaro cacti?
Tried to read Riley Sager, The House Across the Lake. Wow this ebook started strong, witty, moody. Almost halfway thru got into hand wringing and worry to the point of boredom, so I jumped ahead. I'm a fast reader so got whole idea and ending through a totally bizarre plot twist that would be hardly believable in the best movie horror thriller, and didn't buy the ending. Do not rec.
