25 Words or Less On Books
It started out as 25. I'm not counting any longer, but I try to keep it short.

50. Dead at Daybreak, Deon Meyer (audio)
Set in South Africa, 3 stories in one: the crime, the flashback, the life of the detective. Very good.
49. Donnie Brasco, Joseph D. Pistone with Richard Woodley
FBI agent passes 6 years undercover in the Mafia and is on the point of being made when operation ends. Life both dangerous and banal.
48. A Cold-Blooded Business, Dana Stabenow
Good time-passer, small bits of insight on the conflict between oil the Inuit, but I'd have liked more.
47. Shockwave: Countdown to Hiroshima, Stephen Walker
Three weeks leading up to the first bomb. Fascinating, even if you've read
Hiroshima
. Worth keeping if it had an index.

46. Agatha Raisin & The Case of the Curious Curate
Another murder in the Cotswolds and another handsome neighbour doesn't work out.

45. American Ground, William Langewiesche
Outstand literary narrative of the fall of the Twin Towers and the cleanup operation that followed.
44. Granta No. 105 - Lost and Found
This counts because I read the whole thing. Super issue.
43. The Overlook, Michael Connelly
Harry Bosch and Rachel Walling chase murderers and terrorists.

About Me
Margot
As a former cat person, I disliked dog people - and dogs: too eager to please, no self-respect. Then I had a dog -- well, a Chow; more like a big cat. Anyway,I've become my own worst nightmare of a dog owner. Be warned.
