Laid back ... or resigned? Who cares?


Tuesday

I've been in a thriller mood this year. I don't know why.


A new release today has once again caught my attention and I'm indulging. Why? Because I'm a mood reader. 

LONG TIME GONE by Charlie Donlea. Stand alone thriller.

On the first day of an elite two-year fellowship under the renowned Chief Medical Officer Dr. Livia Cutty, Sloan Hastings receives a research assignment in the emerging field of forensic genealogy. It’s the exciting, rapidly evolving science behind the recent breaks in high-profile cold cases from the Golden State Killer to the Cameron Young murder, and Sloan enthusiastically begins her research by submitting her own DNA to an online genealogy site. Her goal is to better understand the treasure trove of genetic information contained on ancestry websites, but the results she receives are shocking. Raised by loving, supportive parents, Sloan has always known she was adopted. But her DNA profile suggests her true identity is that of Charlotte Margolis, aka “Baby Charlotte,” who captured the nation’s attention when she and her affluent parents mysteriously vanished in July 1995. Despite a large-scale investigation and months of broad media coverage, there were never any suspects in the family’s disappearance and the case has been cold for decades. Racing to stay ahead of the media and true crime junkies ravenous to know what really happened to Baby Charlotte, Sloan’s search for answers leads her to Cedar Creek, Nevada, a small town north of Lake Tahoe. There, the Margolis family’s power and influence permeate every corner of the county, and while Sloan’s birth relatives are initially welcoming, they’re also mysterious and tight-lipped. Not everyone seems happy about Sloan’s return, or the questions she’s asking. The more she learns, the more apparent it becomes that the answers Sloan seeks are buried in a graveyard of Margolis family secrets. And someone will do anything to keep them hidden . . . 

Published 2024; 352 pages.

Season six finale of The Rookie tonight. I won't be able to watch it until tomorrow. I'm expecting my two favorite characters to get back together.

Maybe if I wake up in the middle of the night I may watch it while crocheting to get sleepy again. I actually do that a lot. 

Sprints tonight. Reading and crocheting. Steve has range orientation this week to participate in so he'll be home later. 

Have a good day

Much love,
