Jan 11 - 17, 2015

Compound Murder by Bill Crider - a Sheriff Dan Rhodes mystery. A professor has been found dead on the local college campus and the suspect is the son of a survivalist living at a well fortified compound. As usual, there are also some minor disturbances for the sheriff to deal with, including a pig in someone's home. I like this series, it's a quick read with some humor, but the sheriff always gets his suspect.

The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly by Sin-Mi Hwang - the story of a brave hen who dares to not accept her circumstances and dream of a different life. A little sad.

Woman With a Gun by Phillip Margolin - an aspiring writer sees a picture of a woman in a wedding dress standing on a beach holding a gun. She finds it was taken very shortly after a murder and decides to write a novel about it. This leads to the solution of a 10 year old case. This book was written in a very odd style, going back in time to old cases. As a result I never felt connected to any of the characters and only finished because I wanted to know what had happened.
