Monday
I finished THE ATLANTIS CODE by Charles Brokaw. 4 stars. Fun thriller in the vein of THE DAVINCI CODE. And I finished MIRANDA IN RETROGRADE by Lauren Layne. Also 4 stars
Currently reading WORDHUNTER by Stella Sands.
Tattooed, pierced, and a bit of a mess, Maggie Moore is a surprising genius when it comes to words, a savant able to solve any linguistic puzzle. The top student in her forensic linguistics class, she’s tapped by local police to use her skills to decipher harrowing notes left by a stalker-turned-rapist—and succeeds brilliantly. But when the daughter of a local mayor is abducted, Maggie isn’t sure she’s the right person to help the police solve the crime. Given what happened to her best childhood friend, Maggie just might be too close to this one. Yet she knows the authorities in this rural south-Central Florida town cannot crack the case without her special skill. Along with her new best friend, a detective Jackson, Maggie begins to analyze the texts, emails, and verbal tics of various suspects . . . and comes to a disturbing conclusion that will rock this small community.
Published 2024; 256 pages. I love the linguistics of it. This is an interesting character and setting. From the library.
We watched the movie Twisters this weekend. There was much to mock but I did enjoy the improbable ride.
In honor of that, I think my next GarbAugust read will be LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE by Elizabeth Hrib.
Recently single, livestock vet Kate Cardiff is tired of risking her heart. So when an emergency calls her home to her family’s struggling ranch, Kate is ready to help—and definitely not looking for love. It’s dislike at first sight when she meets temporary ranch hand and storm-chasing photographer Nathan Prescott. He says he can win her over, but Nathan lives in the moment, not for the future. If Kate opens her heart to someone who lives on the edge, will taking the risk lead to another heartbreak…or a new beginning?
Published 2023; 263 pages.
No sprints tonight.
