Too Old for This
by Samantha Downing
Great Book (4/10/2025)
I loved this book. I found it an easy read. The words flowed. The subject was a bit unique an elderly serial killer (74 years old) who has been at it for at least 50 years. This book had lots of twists and turns. This is one of the few books I've read that I found myself rooting for the serial killer. Some of the forensic information was not entirely accurate, but I didn't mind. I would absolutely recommend this book.
The Bog Wife
by Kay Chronister
Interesting Read? (9/3/2024)
I enjoyed the book. It's not my usual genre; so, my review rating may be a little biased. I am also confused about the plot. I first thought it was supernatural. Then, as I continued reading, I thought it was more about the stories and oral history passed down through generations. To the family members, these stories become the truth even though it's not. Then, I felt it again turned supernatural. This left me a bit confused. Again, this may be to my experience this genre.

I did enjoy the book. This is a book about family and the siblings within the family. Family dynamics are complicated. I enjoyed learning about all about the siblings, their family history, and their environment. I would recommend this book, especially to someone who is a huge fan of the supernatural genre.
