Reading right now:
“Killing Cupid” by Laura Levine.
This L.A. based comedy writer’s credits include “The Bob Newhart Show” and
Three’s Company. You might be able to guess that her books are funny. “Killing
Cupid” is the 12th book in the Jaine Austen series. Like Levine,
Jaine writes but her jobs often land her in the middle of murder.
On hold right now:
“Stone Cold Dead” by Catherine Ditts. This
debut novel takes place in Golden Springs, Colorado and stars Morgan Iverson
who agrees to help her brother with the family rock shop for two weeks only to
find herself permanently in charge when he hands her the keys and announces
that he is never returning. When Morgan stumbles upon a dead teenage girl, she
becomes the center of a lot of unexpected and unwanted attention which includes
threats upon her life.
A
List to Treasure:
More and more books are being made into movies. 2014 is hardly
an exception and some of those books are mysteries. “Dark Places” by Gillian Flynn is scheduled to appear in the
theaters in August closely followed by “Gone Girl” in September. It is hard to
believe that there is anyone left who hasn’t read “Gone Girl,” but if you
haven’t it’s a good time before the movie comes out. Flynn has talked about
having to rewrite the ending for the movie which seems a shame since I loved
the crazy ending. “Horns” by Joe Hill stars Daniel Radcliffe and has been
talked about for some time. HBO production of “Reconstructing Amelia” by
Kimberly McCreight is coming out with Nicole Kidman starring. “A Slight Trick
of the Mind” by Mitch Cullin revolves around an aging, retired Sherlock Holmes
who talks about his old cases before he forgets. “Every Secret Thing” by Laura
Lippman is about missing children and the detective who attempts to find them. “Inherent
Vice” by Thomas Pynchon takes place in 1970s Los Angeles when detective Larry “Doc”
Sportello investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend. “Child 44”
written by Tom Rob Smith has a Stalin-era Soviet Union MGB agent investigating
a series of child murders. Looks like 2014 might just be an investing movie
year!
