Today is Halloween, and it’s also the last day of RIP (Readers Imbibing Peril)! Everything on my list would have counted towards the RIP XVII Challenge – to enjoy books that could be classified as: Mystery, Suspense, Thriller, Dark Fantasy, Gothic, Horror, or Supernatural – but I only have a chance of finishing the first on my list by the end of the day.

August Snow by Stephen Mack Jones
“Jones, a Detroit-area poet and playwright brings the city, its environs, and its eateries to vital life in a mystery coiled around the contemporary crime du jour of cyber-finance meddling. His is that rare tale that, despite its thriller-level violence, maintains a fiercely warm heart at its core—and ends far too quickly.” — The Boston Globe
August Snow by Stephen Mack Jones has been on my TBR since it came out in 2017, and this weekend was the perfect time for it!
I’m just back from Detroit, Michigan after a three-day weekend (for a different hobby – line dancing) in celebration of my birthday. We flew in and out of the Detroit airport, but we were actually staying in a suburb of Detroit. There was no time for sightseeing in the city, but I needed a book set in Detroit to read on the plane.
The Third Rail by Bill Fleming and Joe Peters
The Third Rail delves into the ongoing challenge of race relations in the city of Boston. Like its predecessors, Code Black and Troubled Waters, this latest tale proves that all is not what it appears to be when the city’s most conniving power brokers try to get their way. Veteran transit police sergeant Morris Fitzgerald must step carefully in trying to identify a rogue cop while also cracking the mysterious disappearance of transportation artifacts. All the while, he must keep the simmering tensions among the city’s many factions from reaching a boiling point. — Jacket copy
