I just finished The Maid - really loved it. Quirky and a bit differebt. A maid finds a dead guy in one of the rooms she cleans and gets all involved in the murder investigation.
Just started Invisible Child (factual) about a homeless girl in NYC. Shocking but her endless spirit makes it riveting. __________________

My friend in FL recommended the Thursday Murder Club - bunch of retirees in a posh retirement community in Britain, solving murders. It's written by some British quiz show presenter/TV writer, Richard Osman. There are only two books so far, but they were big hits, so he's writing book #3. I read them, Mr ML is reading them, just lent them to my daughter.

Oh yeah MyranLynne i've been meaning to read those! Definitely will get a sample on my kindle!
Finished Invisible Child - it was a difficult read and heartbreaking to read how people are let down again by again by systems supposed to help, and how being homeless it pretty much an impossible sistuation to get out of. But this woman had 8 kids. I'm not judging but if you can't affrod to feed one, why on earth have 7 more. Maybe it's me being niave but I just don't understand. __________________
