Happy Hanukkah!
I really enjoyed Michael Connelly's The Concrete Blond. It's not often I tear up at the end of a Mystery/Police Procedural.
Now I am listening to Future Home Of The Living God by By Louise Erdrich. Wow. Written in the form of a letter to an unborn child, this is an eerie pregnancy journal and persecution chronicle combined. Something weird is going on. Banks are running out of money; the internet becomes unreliable; the government seizes the cable companies, etc. hmmm
Interesting to know that Erdrich began the novel in 2002, then abandoned it until the end of 2016, when she found it newly urgent to finish, for all the obvious reasons, and reworked it. A little too quickly, perhaps, but it's still worth reading, IMO. It has lots of amusing lines that will keep you chuckling all the while it becomes clear that something is going very wrong for humanity.
I just watched Foyle's War, the first season, which is four stories by Anthony Horowitz. Wonderful. Totally loved it. Can't wait to see more.
