A wonderfully written noir novel. The plot gets complicated but the main characters are fun to follow. 

It seems pretty predictable but I'll stick with the series for now. 

Folk Horror. Not exactly my cup of tea but it is engaging. 

This contains wonderful prose and some interesting conversations. Things go off the rails for a bit but just a bit. It seemed like the ending was a little too drawn out. 

There is nothing new here but it does a solid job of doing its job. 

I laughed out loud and teared up so it was a good read. Some of the prose is lyrical and some of the conversations are hilarious. 

Chess isn't exciting and this book proves it. 

A hillbilly in Italy - a great combination. 

I listened to this and once Monk started writing I thought the rest of the book might be his book. I actually laughed out loud while listening.
