Every Fifteen Minutes

 

“Every Fifteen Minutes” by Lisa Scottoline
Published by St Martin’s Griffin
Finished 9/23/23 – 4/5 stars
 
Another good stand-alone book from Lisa Scottoline.  This one is centered around a psychiatrist, his family, friends, and patients.  It also has a mystery thrown in there, which I had guessed completely wrong.  Bonus points when the author can fool me.  If you like a good page turner mystery, you’ll enjoy this one too.

The Outside Boy

 

“The Outside Boy” by Jeanine Cummins
Published by Berkley Books
Finished 9/17/23 – 5/5 stars
 
I came across this book at my library’s book sale – the cover and title caught my eye and then I read the back and figured I’d buy it and give it a try.  I’m so very glad I did because it was an absolutely beautiful read.  It takes place in 1959 Ireland and is told in the point of view of an 11-year-old “traveller” (gypsy).  The relationships the author builds between him and his family, friends, and even animals have you invested in this young boy’s life and his quest for answers about his past.  It’s one of those rare books that has me give a deep sigh once the final page is read.  One of those “that was just wonderful” closing sighs to a fabulous story.  I highly recommend it.

The River We Remember

 

“The River We Remember” by William Kent Krueger
Published by Atria Books
Finished 9/8/24 – 5/5 stars
 
I loved “This Tender Land” so I was excited to hear William Kent Krueger had a new book coming out.  He did not disappoint – I definitely enjoyed this one just as much.  He has a great talent for telling a story with plenty of character development and descriptive scenes while weaving in a little history at the same time.  There are many storylines that piqued my interest and characters that held a place in my heart so I never found my mind wandering while reading.  That says a lot for me – highly recommend it.
