Chase Darkness with Me - 8/3/21

Hello Sleuths  


Book 39: Chase Darkness with me: How One True-Crime Writer Started Solving Murders (8/10)


I remember the premise of this book, but the details are just a blur to me. However I do remember enjoying it even though it didn't make a deep impression. 


A true crime author was tired of unsolved cases so he started using his own knowledge, skills, and persistence to solve cold cases the cops had given up on. 


Hearing from the investigators perspective without the professionalism of a law enforcement agent and the passion of a man who wants nothing more than to help bring peace to families is a thrilling read. You feel like you're in the passenger seat as he's breaking these cases wide open and helping solve cases which would otherwise still be unsolved with families wondering if their loved ones with ever have the justice they deserve. 


so get ready to help solve some crimes

and remember dear readers, Stay Vivid

Fuzz - 10/2/2021

 Hello Animal Lovers, Book 46: Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law (9.5/10) Premise: What do humans do when animals invade their houses, swarm their airports, or jaywalk? Mary Roach is one of my favorite authors, and for good reason. She investigates things that most people rarely think about. What happens to our bodies after we die? What happens to Humans when they go to war? The Science of Tattoos.... And a host of other topics.  This books dives into how humans cohabitate with nature that we don't necessarily want around. Not bed bugs and cockroaches, but bears in cities, moose on the roads, monkeys swarming cities, and rats in the Vatican.  Usually on location Mary talks about spending a few days living the life of the people who are dealing with these problems and working with them or talking about them about how this will progress in the future.  Without a play by play it's pretty hard to summarize this book since she jumps from topic to topic and animal to animal...

 Hello Aware Humans,  Book 42 Verity - (7/10) Premise: A small time writer gets the chance of a life time to help "Co-Author" a famous book series after the original author gets into an accident and is considered brain dead.  This is a romance novel touted as a thriller and while it's not my normal genre of choice I will admit it was a bit of a page turner.  Minor Spoilers ahead:  Lowen Ashleigh runs into Jeremey Crawford just before a meeting, cue meet cute.
