Short book about a student driver, her instructor, and the lady they hit.

Fat Ollie of the 88th taps the regulars of the 87th to find the killer of a politician AND who stole the only manuscript of Fat Ollie's book. Very enjoyable!

Matthew Hope defends a woman who everbody saw burying one of the victims in her garden!

The Deaf Man starts a riot at a rap concert in the park to cover a crime, meanwhile someone is knocking off graffeti "artists".

Fat Ollie saves Carella's life twice. Pretty good. Still like the second time I read it!

87th Precinct series. Who would want to murder a nun?

A budding pop star is kidnapped.

Ten novellas by authors such as Westlake, McCrumb, King, Block, John Farris, and others.

Second (and probably last) volume of the space cats series, which apparently relates to the cats in "The Tower And The Hive" series.

Co-authored by Elizabeth Ann Scarborough. This book is about cats in space. It is OK, funny at times, perhaps even "slyly" funny. I will read the next book. But after that, I am not making any promises.

Another in the series of the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency stories, the second one I've read now. A very nice story, with interesting insights into life in Botswana.

I think that I am starting to get into this series, now that I've read maybe three!

A lady in Botswana start a detective agency to help people with their problems. Very nice.

A young boy in Alabama gets involved in a murder back in the early sixties. Very excellent.

A jobless Vietnam vet kills a banker sorta accidently, ends up helping a girl search for the Bright Girl, and avoiding a bounty hunter with three arms. Very excellent.

A man and his son travel the road to the sea in this tale of survival years after some unnamed disaster kills pretty much everything but a few semi-human survivors. The author seems to have a "thing" about using apostrophes consistently. Some lovely writing, but I didn't really care for the book.
