Coyote Hills/Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman

Very up to date SanFran murder mystery: drugs, ai, lots of sex hookup sites. Boats and bay marinas and currents.

Snappy dialogue but characters felt flat.

Showdown/Mike Lupica, a Robert B. Parker Spenser novel

Opening scene has Hawk and Spenser talking about growing old and retiring. Then Rita arrives with a client: son of an immigrant searching for his father. Who is most likely a virulent maga podcaster.

The Widow/John Grisham

From the book jacket: small town lawyer lands a big money case. Then he’s accused of murdering her.

The Coben anthology sounds good. On my list now.
