A Street Cat Named Bob: How One Man and His Cat Found Hope on the Streets by James Bowen - a true story of a recovering addict and how taking a cat into his life helped him get stronger. James is pretty straightforward about his problems and also has an interesting take on life on the streets of London. The writing isn't the greatest but the cat is.

Doing Hard Time by Stuart Woods - this is another Stone Barrington book. And just like many others in the series, everything comes too easily to the main characters and none of them have any problems with money. A far cry from the authors first book, Chiefs. And yet I keep reading them.

The Bones of Paris by Laurie R King - Paris, 1929, and an American private investigator is hired to look for a missing girl. Everything seems to involve the art world and he runs across famous and infamous people. Somewhat macabre and it seems to move slowly until the end.

The Spy Who Loved:The Secrets and Lives of Christine Granville by Clare Mulley - a biography of the first woman spy for the British during WWII. Should have been an interesting book but the writing was dull and at times seemed to be just a list of Polish names. I have to be honest and say I just skimmed the middle of the book. Also poorly edited, I found several errors.
