#22/25 You'll Never Find Me by Allison Brennan
Working alone as a private investigator is tough. Estranged from her PI family, Margo Angelhart does what she must to get by—including taking on sordid cases that pay the bills, even if she’d rather be helping those the justice system has failed.
That is, until a cheating husband case she’s working intersects with her siblings’ corporate espionage investigation, forcing Margo to cooperate with the Angelhart firm. Now, as the siblings compare notes, it’s clear they need to work together before a white-collar crime escalates to murder.
With far more questions than answers and a key suspect on the run, they’ll need the whole family to pitch in. But as they investigate the ever-twisting mystery, Margo isn’t sharing everything. Can she learn to trust her family and heal their once-close relationship before her secrets put those she loves most in danger?

New series by an old favorite author. Waiting for book 2.

19. The Housemaid by Freida McFadden it’s a good thriller although I do think it was a little too long

I'm really close to DNFing my current book. I don't believe I have ever done that before. I'm about 70% so not much more to go but I'm just not really into it.

Oh, what is it? We seem to have the same tastes in books and I'd like not to waste my time!

Fall for Murder

I like fall and murder, just not together in this book.

I recently did (or rather, didn't) that on a book, only the second time in the 12 years I've been on Goodreads. And the thing is, there was a very long waitlist for the book, so it was obviously appealing to some people. "My Friends" by Fredrick Backman Anyone read it? What did I miss?

I couldn’t get into that book at all! I’ve read some others by that author and enjoyed them but I just could not finish that one.

#35 - Fall for Murder by -Ah, fall, the time of year when the air is crisp, the leaves golden, and sweaters and boots are back. Not to mention pumpkin spice everything. I had planned on a fall shopping trip to buy something pretty for the house, but I found a body instead. How does this keep happening to me?Ah, fall, the time of year when the air is crisp, the leaves golden, and sweaters and boots are back. Not to mention pumpkin spice everything.

As mentioned before I did not like this book but I finally pushed through and finished it last night. The main character is unlikable, the writing is simple and choppy. And after reading the entire book, the murder was solved and everything wrapped up nice in like 2 paragraphs. lol

I really wanted to read more of these 'cozy' books for fall but I'm not sure I can. I'm going to read a thriller or horror next to get back to enjoying reading.

I really try to push through to the end of every book I start to read. But sometimes, it isn't worth my time. The last book I DNF was The Andromedia Strain by Michael Crichton. It was published in 1969 and the technology they were using in the book was just too frustrating. It didn't make sense.
