I'm currently reading a couple things. First, A DEEPER DARKNESS by JT Ellison this is 1st of 2 in series featuring Samantha Owens, a medical examiner from Tennessee. Here is a description:
As a medical examiner, Samantha Owens knows her job is to make a certain sense of death with crisp methodology and precision instruments. But the day the Tennessee floods took her husband and children, the light vanished from Sam's life. She has been pulled into a suffocating grief no amount of workaholic ardor can penetrate—until she receives a peculiar call from Washington, D.C. On the other end of the line is an old boyfriend's mother, asking Sam to do a second autopsy on her son. Eddie Donovan is officially the victim of a vicious carjacking, but under Sam's sharp eye the forensics tell a darker story. The ex-Ranger was murdered, though not for his car. Forced to confront the burning memories and feelings about yet another loved one killed brutally, Sam loses herself in the mystery contained within Donovan's old notes. It leads her to the untouchable Xander, a soldier off-grid since his return from Afghanistan, and then to a series of brutal crimes stretching from that harsh mountainous war zone to this nation's capital. The tale told between the lines makes it clear that nobody's hands are clean, and that making sense of murder sometimes means putting yourself in the crosshairs of death.
It was published in April 2012 and has 400 pages. This is a library book.
The other thing I'm reading is on the Kindle, it's a novella and preview of a new book coming out. It is called CITY OF SCREAMS by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell. Here is a description:
In the haunted, war-torn highlands of Afghanistan, amid the ruins of Shahr-e-Gholghol, an archaeology team is massacred in the night. Sergeant Jordan Stone and his crack forensic team are called in to examine the site, to hunt for the perpetrators of this horrific act. But the discovery of a survivor—a child of ten—will shatter all the team knows about life and death. Among the crumbling bones of dead kings, something hoary and murderous stirs out of the ancient past, lurching forward to claim vengeance on those still living.
It is the prelude to THE BLOOD GOSPEL that will be released in January. It sounded interesting and found the prequel available for a buck.
Otherwise, I'm thinking maybe after dinner if Steve doesn't go play on the computer it would be nice to cuddle for a moment. If not, then I'll head to bed to read. Either way, it's good.
Much love,
