Coyote Hills: Very Good
Today I finished reading Coyote Hills, Clay Edison book 6 by Jonathan Kellerman and his son, Jesse Kellerman. I really liked the book; a page turner.
Evil Bones: Good
In the early afternoon I finished Evil Bones a Temperance Brennan novel by Kathy Reichs. I liked the story, it was a good read.
Coyote Hills
Clay Edison has left behind the Alameda County coroner’s office to strike out on his own as a private investigator. He’s perfectly happy working low-stakes embezzlement cases—that is, until PI Regina Klein calls him with a mystery only he can solve. The son of a wealthy couple has washed up dead on the shores of San Francisco Bay with drugs in his system and a head injury. The police are calling it an accident. But the parents are adamant something’s not right—and as Clay digs deeper, he uncovers a horrifying tangle of betrayal and lies.
Originally I planned to work some on tumblelog in the afternoon
but… the Fusion drive of my Mac Mini Late 2014 had died.
So I started to recover a Time Machine backup on a 2TB external hard
drive. As this would take many
hours I started reading in Coyote
Hills,
Clay Edison book 6 by Jonathan Kellerman and his son, Jesse Kellerman.
Until Dawn (2025)
A group of friends trapped in a time loop, where mysterious foes chase and kill them in gruesome ways, must survive until dawn to escape it.
In the evening Alice and I watched Until Dawn. I liked the movie and rate it a 7 out of 10.
21 Jump Street (2012)
A pair of underachieving cops are sent back to a local high school to blend in and bring down a synthetic drug ring.
In the evening Alice and I also watched 21 Jump Street. I liked the movie and rate it a 7 out of 10.
Wolf Hour: Very Good
During my afternoon break I finished Wolf Hour by Jo Nesbø. Although a bit slow in the beginning, in my opinion, it soon became a page turner. Recommended; very good.
Evil Bones
Small creatures—a rat, a rabbit, a squirrel—have been turning up throughout Charlotte, North Carolina, mutilated and displayed in a bizarre manner. But one day, as Tempe is relaxing at home alongside her aimless, moody great-niece Ruthie, she’s diverted by a disturbing call. The perp is upping the ante. This find could be human.
Tempe visits the scene and discovers that the victim is a dog. Someone’s pet. As one who has always found animal cruelty abhorrent, Tempe agrees to help apprehend the person responsible, and she acquires an equally outraged ally in semi-retired homicide detective Erskine “Skinny” Slidell. Needing a better understanding of possible motives, Tempe seeks input from a forensic psychologist. The doctor has no definitive answer but offers several possibilities, warning that the escalating pattern of aggression suggests even more macabre discoveries—and a shift in the perp’s focus to humans.
And then it happens. A woman is found disfigured and posed in a manner that mimics the animal killings. Subsequently, people Tempe cares about begin to go missing until it becomes clear she is being taunted, the target in a sick game that has her and Slidell racing against a ticking clock and facing a terrifying question: “What is pure evil?”
In the evening I started in Evil Bones a Temperance Brennan novel by Kathy Reichs.
