March 5 - 11, 2017

Heartbreak Hotel by Jonathan Kellerman - the 32nd(!) Alex Delaware book. This time, instead of his usual pediatric cases, psychologist Alex is called by a nearly 100 year old woman living in a hotel. When she is found dead the day after their meeting natural causes are assumed. It proves to be murder and Alex and his friend, detective Milo Sturgis, search for who did it and why. Not the most exciting of plots but I really enjoy watching the two friends follow leads and gather clues.

3 stars

Ray & Joan: The Man Who Made the McDonald's Fortune and the Woman Who Gave It All Away by Lisa Napoli - a fascinating read about Ray Kroc and his wife who both came from poor beginnings to have an unimaginable fortune. Told pretty briskly, with only a few unnecessary (to me) tangents. And she really did give it all away.

4.5 stars
