Crime mysteries for the soul

Over the past couple of weeks, now that Seattle has basically skipped over fall weather and gone straight to winter temps, I've had time to cozy up with Forrest and do some reading!!

I was looking at the highly rated kindle titles and decided that Sleep Tight by Rachel Abbott looked interesting. And boy, was it! I really like her writing style and how she sneaks the perfect hints in at the right moments. I found myself accidentally pressing the next key before finishing my current page, and then having to click backward! It was a page turner for sure, and I love how it read like a tv show.

Immediately after finishing, I decided to look up more titles by Abbott. I decided to read Only the Innocent next. I noticed themes similar to the previous book, throughout the novel, but the story twisted and turned in completely different directions. And the character building was excellent. This second book seemed more intense and the details were interwoven so intricately that as soon as I finished the very last pages, I immediately re-read the first chapter again. I was drooling over every tiny morsel of info!

I must have forgotten how much I love to read (that's so sad...). I haven't read two books so quickly and with so much pleasure, since college! I'm glad that I decided to read again, and I can't wait to start the next adventure. 😁
