The Bitter Season - Tami Hoag
She read

In the past, I have read a few of Tami Hoag's novels.  Then I read one that I didn't like, and kind of avoided for a while.  I picked up this one, the fifth in the Kovac and Liska series and was glad I did.  I don't think it is necessary to have read the prior four novels to enjoy this one.  It had a decent story, good character development, and I enjoyed it.  If you haven't read Hoag or haven't in a while and like crime/detective stories, give this one a try.

My Name is Lucy Barton - Elizabeth Strout

She read.

When I read the synopsis of this book, I was going to pass.  By the author of Olive Kitteridge  and The Burgess Boys, I gave it a try and did enjoy it.  I'm not sure it really went anywhere, but it was a very quick, engaging book.  Not an equal of Olive by any means, however.

A good story of two damaged people trying to make some sense out of their lives.

Moscow Sting - Alex Dryden

He read

Excellent novel of modern day Russia; delves into oligarchs and their connection to the former KGB.
Excellent novel for anyone interested in learning a little more about how modern day Russia under Putin is operated, otherwise it is a typical spy/espionage story.

The latest in the Stephanie Plum series.  Yes, I know it's silly, but I enjoy this series...it makes me smile!
