The Murder Inn
by James Patterson,Candice Fox
View in Library Catalog
book cover


James Patterson and Candice Fox's thriller novel "The Murder Inn" includes various characters and the chapters are written from each of their views. The book revolves around ex-cop Bill Robinson who is in charge of The Inn by the Sea and his friends who live with him, helping him manage the inn. The plot deals with the interactions of Bill's friends and a crime boss. The novel ensured many plot twists and portrayed the characters' development uniquely. The characters and their problems or pasts seemed realistic enough that you could feel their emotions quite vividly. It is overall a great book and can meet your expectations!

The Racketeer

Although the novel was fast paced and a rapid read, I could not connect with the main character. Mal/Max appeared to be fighting for the underdogs, who were treated unfairly by the FBI. Instead he had no more regard for others than the FBI who were wrapping everybody into RICO violations, guilty or not. Although he maintained his innocence throughout, I wondered through the end of the novel if he had actually committed the crime for which he had been convicted. Just wasn’t a fan of this novel overall.

I enjoyed the audio but was not interested in the deluge of curse words throughout story. Otherwise, great storytelling.

Spaceman Of Bohemia
by Jaroslav Kalfar

book cover


This book was definitely an interesting read. I picked this up after watching Spaceman (2024) with Adam Sandler, which was based on this book. Do not let the fact Adam Sandler is in it deceive you, this story is not all, if any, laughs. The story is a deep dive into a solo astronaut on an 8 month mission away from home, and how those decisions effect him and the people he loves. Also, there is a giant alien spider. I enjoyed the first half of the book a lot more than I enjoyed the second, and if I ever re-read it I think I would just read till that point. I don'r regret having finished it though.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in the series. In this book Harry Potter goes to his second year at Hogwarts. An elf comes to visit Harry to tell him that he should not return to Hogwarts that year. Warning him that his second year at Hogwarts would be trouble. I enjoyed reading this book and would rate it a five.

Every chapter in this book is about a different student or teacher. The stories are surreal with different weird events and magical occurrences. In one of the chapters a teacher named Mrs.Gorf has students that are very good at arithmetic and decided to turn them into apples.

Black Ties And White Lies

I can't put this one down!!! Sounds like Beck liked Margo from the first moment he met her, though she was with his brother. He will stop at nothing to make her his. Honestly, I think she realizes that Beck is a better man than Carter. Some guys are not worth our time or tears.
