OK, it's Monday! But also — it's APRIL!!!! This year is movin' along much too fast, and my reading is going much too slow. Yeah — what else is new, right?
So this week I'm trying to get myself back into the reading groove, and I'm doing it with something I'm almost certain to love — one of Rex Stout's classic Nero Wolfe mysteries from the 1950s:
Murder by the Book (1951)
I've read quite a few of the Nero Wolfe series, but this is one I've missed up to now. I'm only a few pages in, but enjoying it so far.
If I manage to finish that one quickly, I've got several books I need to read and review this month. Three likely candidates:
Little Darlings, the debut novel by Melanie Golding
The Invited, a suspense novel by Jennifer McMahon
We Were Killers Once, the latest Brigid Quinn mystery, by Becky Masterman
Certainly enough to keep me busy. Now if I can just keep all that pesky real-life stuff from sneaking up on my reading, I'll be fine.
Happy reading, everyone! And have a lovely week.

I enjoy the Nero Wolfe mysteries. I read a bunch of them some years ago now. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteNero Wolfe, there's an old and familiar name. Have a good week. My weekly updates
ReplyDeleteI’ve never read Nero Wolfe, your three ‘read next’ titles look good
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week :)
Shelleyrae @ Book’d Out-
Nero Wolfe was one of Momma's favs. Caroline and I have a "book club" which means I am reading the books she recommends - oh the variety -- so right now I am reading "Pugs of the Frozen North" and "Temple Secrets".
ReplyDeleteYes, I remember your mom and mine and MaMa and Aunt Linnie used to get Nero Wolfe books from the library and pass them around. That's how I was first introduced to the series.
Delete"Pugs of the Frozen North" is a wonderful title! I might take a look at it too.
I pre-ordered Little Darlings...can't wait!
ReplyDeleteLove the graphics at the top of your post. Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blog.
I love reading mysteries and will look for these books in my local library. Right now I am reading "Before We Were Yours" by Lisa Wingate. zIt is historical fiction, Very well written and based on a shocking true story.
ReplyDeleteI read quite a few Nero Wolfe novels from my parents' bookshelves, and read one recently and enjoyed it now too.
