Books Read in September

Code Name Hélène by Ariel Lawhon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great book. I did find the jumping around to be a little distracting but... as I read it became clear where the author was going. Ariel Lawhon is a master storyteller. I was sometimes confused but never felt like putting it down. The action is non stop and the personal story is intriguing. If you have read other books on SOE this will become a favorite.

A Peculiar Combination by Ashley Weaver
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first in what may be an interesting series. Many questions are raised, many relationships are hinted at and a whole family is caught up in the story. The plot was interesting but I thought a bit thin. I liked the writing and the way that the story was presented so Electra will get another chance on my bookshelf.

The Kind Worth Saving by Peter Swanson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is another very devious plot by Peter Swanson. A lot of running around and what seem to be false leads. In the end its a pretty intriguing story. These stories never seem to get old. There is no way to imagine where the story is going until it gets there. If you like mysteries and drama, this book will be perfect. I like stories I can't quite figure out. In this case, as in many Swanson stories, its more how will they solve it. Interesting and fun.

A Talent for Murder by Peter Swanson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sorry to say I read this out of order, do you think it will matter? I read it so fast that my Kindle almost overheated. A devious and convoluted story that had me on the edge of my seat. I was waiting for the next twist. This book is a delight if you like twisty turning books with a good amount of murder in them. Just shows that Peter Swanson should be in the genius category. Characters that jump off the page. You can see what is going on, taste the food and get a little drunk on the drinks. I love a book that feels real.
