Today's Blog/Website of the Day is a friendfeed of mystery links found at http://friendfeed.com/crime-and-mystery-fiction. For readers of crime and mystery fiction to discuss books in the genre. Pretty nifty gadget.
Though I started the first few pages of the new David Liss and find it good, I think I'll be going with the new Karin Slaughter, UNDONE, because it will be a faster read for me. This is sort of the 7th of 7 in series featuring Dr. Sara Linton, a pediatrician and coroner in Grant County, Georgia, but it is also a converging of her other series (in which case would be 3rd of 3) featuring Will Trent, an agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, in Atlanta, Georgia. Here's a description:
In the trauma center of Atlanta’s busiest hospital, Sara Linton treats the city’s poor, wounded, and unlucky—and finds refuge from the tragedy that rocked her life in rural Grant County. Then, in one instant, Sara is thrust into a frantic police investigation, coming face-to-face with a tall driven detective and his quiet female partner…. three unforgettable characters from collide for the first time, entering an electrifying race against the clock—and a duel with unspeakable human evil. In the backwoods of suburban Atlanta, where Sara’s patient was found, local police have set up their investigation. But Georgia Bureau of Investigation detective Will Trent doesn’t wait for the go-ahead from his boss—he plunges through police lines, through the brooding woods, and single-handedly exposes a hidden house of horror buried beneath the earth. Then he finds another victim.… Wresting the case away from the local police chief, Will and his partner, Faith Mitchell—a woman keeping explosive secrets of her own—are called into a related investigation. Another woman—a smart, upscale, independent young mother—has been snatched. For the two cops out on the hunt, for the doctor trying to bring her patient back to life, the truth hits like a hammer: the killer’s torture chamber has been found, but the killer is still at work.
All of Slaughter's books are very much not for the faint of heart; they can be pretty graphic. Published this month; it has 448 pages.
My doctor's appointment this morning was not to be. They had no record of it though it was written on my hospital discharge papers. Go figure. Eh, I've seen plenty of doctors and I won't have another bill to pay. Next one on Monday.
Otherwise I ran some errands: Kinko's, library, Albertsons and dropping off an application packet so keep your fingers crossed on that one. My legs were very tired this afternoon so relaxed a bit after that. I'm hoping to go for another around the long block walk this evening with Steve and Tug because this morning it was feeling pretty good.
Tonight for dinner is a toss up: pizza and a DVD, or fish/scallops and pesto spaghetti. We'll see for what Steve is in the mood. If no movie, then I'll catch Say Yes to the Dress on TLC.
I don't believe we have plans for this weekend; I'll be doing the weekend cleaning chores and I hope Steve mows the lawn. I'd like to begin to tackle the mess in the spare bedroom and start throwing out accumulated junk. Oy, how things pile up when you're not looking.
I have found the perfect late afternoon music: I love pandora.com for being able to create your own "stations" and a group called Zero 7 is a great place to start for that late afternoon jazzy slow down. I could learn to like afternoons.
Much love,
