14/32 - The Boomerang by Robert Bailey

Description:
"The president of the United States has terminal cancer. Chief of Staff Eli James, his faithful consigliere and best friend, is one of the few who know. But just as the president’s condition mysteriously improves, Eli’s hit with another blow: his daughter has cancer too.

Hell-bent on helping her, Eli turns to Big Pharma’s top lobbyist for advice, but their encounter yields more questions than answers. As he races along a twisted trail to the truth, he stumbles upon a devastating cover-up worth billions of dollars—and millions of lives.

Armed with this deadly secret, Eli goes rogue, fleeing with his family out west. To keep them safe, he forms an uneasy alliance with land baron Nester 'the Beast' Sanchez, known for his ruthless power tactics. An epic showdown brews, and it’s the state versus one desperate citizen, willing to risk everything to save his daughter. Can Eli broker a truce with his once allies? Or will there be war in the desert?"

I really enjoyed this book! I have liked all of Robert Bailey's novels that I've read.

I just started "Part II" of this book last night!

Are you going to read the rest of the series?

I think so. I have a few other books at home I plan to read first. Let me know how part 2 is.

Sorry, I meant I was reading part II of the first book. It was divided into 3 parts. I'm finished now. No burning desire to move on to the next one, but I'm sure I will.

15/32 - Return to Sender by Craig Johnson

Description:
"When Blair McGowan, the mail person with the longest postal route in the country of over three hundred miles a day, goes missing the question becomes—where do you look for her? The Postal Inspector for the State of Wyoming elicits Sheriff Longmire to mount an investigation into her disappearance and Walt does everything but mail it in; posing as a letter-carrier himself, the good sheriff follows her trail and finds himself enveloped in the intrigue of an otherworldly cult."

This is book #21 in the Longmire series. I continue to enjoy the series and look forward to the yearly release of a new book!

#22 Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult. I enjoyed this book very much. My heart broke a little at the end. I always enjoy her books.
