Finished Reading “The Killing Edge” and Happy July 4th

Happy Fourth of July! People are celebrating all over and not just on Tuesday. Our city had fireworks last night. I think downtown Dayton is having theirs on Monday night. Does anyone actually celebrate ON the day anymore?

Hubby and I are spending Tuesday morning at the movie theatre to see the new Indiana Jones movie. Then… nothing. Might have to figure out what to cook for dinner, although I’m sure restaurants will be open. Guess we’ll just celebrate quietly. Well, as quiet as the neighbors make it. There’s always someone, somewhere close, setting off fireworks.

Here’s what I read since my last update:

Book 34

Blurb from Book: Chloe Marin was lucky. She was just a teenager when a beachside party mansion turned into a bloodbath. According to authorities, the killers were later found dead in the swamp. Chloe’s not so sure.
    Ten years later, as a psychologist consulting with the cops, she gets drawn in to the disappearance of a swimsuit model. Everyone assumes the girl ran off for some fun in the sun—everyone but Chloe, who’s been visited by the model’s ghost.
    Someone else is interested in the dead girl: Luke Cane, a P.I. investigating the disappearance for her father. Chloe and Luke barely trust one another, but they agree on the important things—they will bend the law to catch these killers, and there is an undeniable attraction between them.
    When another mass murder occurs, Chloe’s beginning to think her presence is no longer a coincidence…
My thoughts: Good story (although I think I figured out whodunnit—sort of—early on). This appears to be the end of the series, not that the books were all tied together. I could have read them out of order, but why would I? I enjoyed this series a lot. Loved all the ghosts! Sorry to see there aren’t any more.

Daughter and I went to a concert at Riverbend (Cincinnati) last night to see Metric, Garbage, and Noel Gallagher. I went to see Metric, Daughter went to see Garbage (although, I like them, too!). Noel Gallagher used to be in Oasis, but I didn’t recognize anything he played (neither did Daughter). We were amused at how many people left after Garbage’s performance and didn’t return for Noel.

Oh, and we barely made it back home before the storms hit. It was like a race! One I’m glad we won. The sky opened up just as I finished parking and headed for the garage. Whew!

So… are you celebrating on Tuesday (or some other day)? Been to any concerts this year? Please share!

Happy Reading!
