Next Wednesday we head down to Atlanta for Dragon Con. Last Tuesday, my car conked out on me (the car we plan on taking to Atlanta). $1374 later, it’s fixed. I guess I can’t really complain. This was the first major repair (it has 129,500 miles and turns 13 this month), and it involved a new alternator and something to do with the cam shaft. I’m just glad it conked out before the trip and not during! That would have been a bummer.
Here’s what I read since my last update:
Book 45
Title: The Kept Woman
Year of publication: 2016
Author: Karin Slaughter
Genre: Crime Suspense
Series: Will Trent #8
# of Pages: 461
Paper or plastic: Hard cover
How obtained: Purchased used
Blurb from Book: With the discovery of a murder at an abandoned construction site, Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is brought in on a case that becomes much more dangerous when the dead man is identified as an ex-cop.
Studying the body, Sara Linton—the GBI’s newest medical examiner and Will’s lover—realizes that the extensive blood loss didn’t belong to the corpse. Sure enough, bloody footprints leading away from the scene indicate there is another victim—a woman—who has vanished…and who will die soon if she isn’t found.
Will is already compromised, because the site belongs to the city’s most popular citizen: a wealthy, powerful, and politically connected athlete protected by the world’s most expensive lawyers—a man who’s already gotten away with rape, despite Will’s exhaustive efforts to put him away.
But the worst is yet to come. Evidence soon links Will’s troubled past to the case…and the consequences will tear through his life with the force of a tornado, wreaking havoc for Will and everyone around him, including his colleagues, family, friends—and even the suspects he pursues.
My thoughts: Lots of twists in this one. Kept me guessing.
The forecasted “hottest day of the year” turned out not to be. Lots of storms in the morning kept it from reaching 90, no less 96. Yay!
Of course, I wonder if our abnormally cool summer will turn into an abnormally cold winter. You know you can’t have one without the other, right?
Happy Reading!
