Long time reader right from early childhood on. Can still remember what the Dewey Decimal system and card catalog files are. :)
Mostly fiction, SF, historical, some military. Very limited horror.
Moved list from Goodreads early Feb 2023. Looks like I started using that in 2016. List is so not complete.

I'm about 45 min into the book and have had more than a couple good sized laugh out loud moments. I'm chuckling just righting this.

Had this on hold so long at the library i'd forgotten what it was about.

Turns out this is for sure one of my favorites of the series. Leaphorn is really retired and Chee is a Lt with responsibilities. Stuff ensues. The dynamic between them was fun. And the who dun it part worked so well.

Really enjoyed this one. Good who dun it, and some nice twists. Fun. Plus for me having a fairly deep dive into film photograph and developing was a blast from the past.

Like most Dick Francis books this one drew me right in right away. And all of a sudden a half hour plus has gone by.

Another series I've had to resist reading one after the other. This might be my favorite. I love the characters and the story. So well done. Didn't want it to end.

Book 5 in the series and I am still enjoying them. This one has the twists and turns but written in a way that's not tiring to me. In fact I had to make myself wait a bit to read this on as I didn't want to get tired of them by reading so close together. The who dunit is excellent and the surrounding detail \s are well done but I'm just really enjoying the characters.

4th installment in the series and I'm quite liking them. A couple of new supporting characters makes this not just another of the same with a different murder. Main characters are not stuck in place. Very nice.
