Monday Musings June 22, 2020

It was a hectic week, although I did have some much needed time away this past weekend. I went camping.

I’m currently watching Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl for my movie poster movie.

I am finally on Season 5 of Wings. Alex has joined the cast as a regular this season.

The latest episode of my podcast

The Baby Blue Rip-Off by Max Allan Collins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Great novel! I’m a huge fan of Max Allan Collins, but this is the first Mallory novel of his that I have read. Mallory is a mystery writer and all around good guy. He delivers hot meals to the elderly and shut ins once a week. When one of his clients is murdered, he investigates. Along the way he deals with thieves, cops, former girlfriends, and a piece of his past. I’m not going to spoil it, but there is a scene near the end that genuinely shocked me. It worked itself out before the end though. Another good one from Collins.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Great start to the legendary series. Detective Carella investigates when three cops are killed. And the rest is history…

The Magic Of Believing by Claude M. Bristol

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Very good advice here. No secret to it, just how believing in yourself and a few tips and tricks can help you get what you really want out of life.



Arrowood and the Thames Corpses by Mick Finlay

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Mick Finley seems to have been slowly affecting Arrowood and Norman’s life before now, but with Arrowood and the Thames Corpses, he turned things up about three notches. Everything seems to be in an upheaval and the surprises don’t stop until the final page. Highly recommended.
