4 stars for an engaging book about Dr. Siri Paiboun, retired chief coroner for Laos. This series is probably best read in order, but my library only has some of this series. In this book, #11 in the series, Siri and his friends solve three separate murders that have connections. The author is a British man who lives in Thailand. This book, like the others, provides some insight into Laotian culture with a bit of humor. Siri gets a plea from a Buddhist monk to help a fellow monk escape into Thailand. The monk was a guest in Siri's house, but has been mysteriously kidnapped. This quest sets off a chain of events, leading to a confrontation with the spirit world. If you don't like paranormal mysteries, you might not like this book. Two quotes: Author warning: "A mental health warning: Through necessity this edition is heavily spiced with supernatural elements. For those of you who prefer your mysteries dull and earthy, this is not the tome for you." "Siri put his hand to his chest where the white amulet hung from his neck. it was nothing elaborate: a hunk of white stone. But there was no question that, without it, he would have been long dead." This was a library book.

I really enjoyed the first book in the Victor the assassin series. I am definitely adding this to my list of series to read. I look forward to finding out Victor really is in the future.

I liked when Grout got surrounded by bad guys. Rocket the Raccoon saved him. The battle is over and the good guys won!

My favorite part was when he woke up in the morning and the chicks were on his ear and foot.

I like how big his eyes are.

This is a short story follow up to the first Victor the assassin book. Shows a vulnerable human side to Victor only to end badly for him. Looking forward to future reads

I really liked reading Civil War on Sunday. My favorite part was when they picked the soldiers up in the ambulance. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes history.

Die Twice is the second book in the Trevellyan series. It is a cross between Jack Reacher and James Bond. There are lost of plots twists and is very entertaining but beware if the physical brutality. I hope the third in the series is just as good.

Wanted to like this book even tho it was obvious from the beginning it was a fluff book. The characters were all over the board and I found myself not caring much about the outcome.

A fun Paw Patrol book about the Pups' vehicles. Phonics book that reviews short vowel sounds and blends (best, big, job, pal, plan, pup, ruff, wet, etc)
