Hey, Folks — I’ve been MIA due to some family stuff going on. But I’ve kept reading! Coming up in the next week or so will be several short reviews on what I’ve been reading.

For Christmas I got the new Sue Grafton mystery: V is for Vengeance. I was quite excited as I’ve read all the other books in this series and really like them. This one was a bit complicated in terms of plot – I tend to read these books quickly and there were many characters and several subplots to keep straight. Long story short: our heroine Kinsey witnesses a shoplifting incident, and the thief ends up dead a short time later, which pulls her into a complicated series of events involving the Mob among other things.

I enjoyed this book a lot. As I said, it has a lot to keep straight in it, but overall, I found the pacing and plot excellent. I couldn’t stop reading! I managed to purchase a signed copy for my husband for Xmas through Ms. Grafton’s website, too – so now we have two copies.
