What are you reading this week of June 26, 2016? [View all]

I'm halfway through Peter May's Entry Island and many of you already know what a terrific book that is. I love the Scottish history, suggesting perhaps at reincarnation, intermixed with a current mystery. I love that Entry Island is a real place and that's an actual photo of it on the book cover. A funny thing is that I've also been listening to Night and Day by Robert B. Parker and the stories are quite similar. A woman alone, a home invasion in a small seaside town, police trying to figure out who the intruder is. I kept getting them mixed up in my head but that wasn't an unpleasant experience. They are both quite intriguing stories.

Anything intriguing on your reading list this week?
