Thriller 5/5
Rachel believes she’s knows who has murdered a women she’s seen from her seat on the daily commute train, but no one will believe her because she’s an alcoholic. Tense and twisty, this book made me understand and root for Rachel as she seemed increasingly to be surrounded by those she could not trust.
Had excellent critique from a number of sources, including my paid editor and spent the week working on The Shadow Spy’s Daughter. Good progress!
Fantasy 3/5
Ginger, a member of the British Spirit Corps during World War I who take the psychic accounts of soldiers as they die in battle, discovers a traitor. An enjoyable book but a little slow-paced.
Took a break in novel revisions to review edits to the book on courage, then pass it back to the detective I’m working with. Now back to my own novel revisions!
Oh! And tomorrow I’m on a panel at Calgary Comic Expo, titled, “How to Become a Writer–Sci Fi and Fantasy.” Should be fun!
Thriller 4-/5
When symbologist Robert Langdon is drawn into solving a series of murders, clues lead him to discover a secret held by the Catholic Church for two thousand years. Right. Everyone knows this book. A lot of people have said how badly written it was, but I didn’t find it that bad. The story gallops, and the final reveal is worth the price. It’s probably a bit too long for the payoff.
