11. "The Cabinet of Dr. Leng," by Preston and Child

Constance Greene goes back to 1800's New York City via time machine to try and rescue her sister and brother, and kill Dr. Leng--the serial killer whose medical experimentation made her ageless. Agent Pendergast jumps in. I didn't know this was a 3 book series until I got to the end, and it left me hanging. So, I've ordered the last installment, "Angel of Vegeance."

In the meantime, I started, "Calamity of Souls," by David Baldacci. "An historical legal thriller set in 1968 Virginia, about a racially charged murder case where a young white lawyer and an experienced Black lawyer team up to defend a Black man falsely accused of killing a wealthy white couple. The book explores themes of racism, justice, and the deep-seated divisions in the South during the Civil Rights era, as the lawyers fight against a biased system and powerful forces trying to ensure a conviction." So far, so good.

I've busted my butt on the ice twice in the last week. Stay safe, fellow readers!
