In the morning I finally finished Red Country, book 3 in the World of the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. To me the first third of the book was quite slow. Luckily the pace got better after this and I finally could finish the book. Of the World of the First Law series I consider Best Served Cold the best story; highly recommended. I didn't like The Heroes much. Red Country is somewhat between those two, in my opinion, but still a good read.
In the late afternoon I prepared two terrariums; plastic storage boxes, and rehoused two tarantulas: a juvenile Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens and a juvenile Pterinochilus murinus.
The latter escaped from the catch cup I used but I was well prepared and did the rehousing in the bathroom. All went well, see Rehousing two tarantulas.
Clay Edison has his hands full. He’s got a new baby who won't sleep. He’s working the graveyard shift. And he’s trying, for once, to mind his own business. Then comes the first call. Workers demolishing a local park have made a haunting discovery: the decades-old skeleton of a child. But whose? And how did it get there?
No sooner has Clay begun to investigate than he receives a second call—this one from a local businessman, wondering if the body could belong to his sister. She went missing fifty years ago, the man says. Or at least I think she did. It’s a little complicated.
And things only get stranger from there. Clay’s relentless search for answers will unearth a history of violence and secrets, revolution and betrayal. Because in this town, the past isn’t dead. It’s very much alive. And it can be murderous.
In the evening I started in Half Moon Bay, Clay Edison Book 3 by Jonathan Kellerman and Jesse Kellerman.
