Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist

 By M. C. Beaton. 1997. Watched Ashley Jensen in the Acorn series about Agatha Raisin and was curious what went on in Cyprus that was alluded to in the tv series. Since they wanted all the series shot in the Cotswolds they skipped over the terrible tourist adventure. I liked the adventures that Sir Charles and Agatha got up to. A good listen with Penelope Keith as the narrator.

Bright Young Women

 By Jessica Knoll. 2023. A fictionalized retelling of the Florida murders by Ted Bundy in 1978 from the viewpoint of the President of the sorority house. I read it in three days. Quite compelling. I lived on campus from 1970 to 1975 in Ohio, so I could relate to the time. The book highlights two different viewpoints, one from the sorority and one from Washington state, this time the viewpoint of a murder victim. I am glad I read it but it is very disturbing.

The Reading List

 By Sara  Nisha Adams. 2019

Read for the Vandalia Library adult book discussion group meeting on the first Thursday at 1:30.

I had trouble getting into the book, the point of view kept changing with the introductions of the characters. Eventually I stopped worrying about who had the reading list, as there were several, and just kept track of the characters who I remembered. I thought it was an engaging book. I liked the introduction to the books on the reading list and the character's reaction to the books. As I had read most of the books on the reading list, this held my interest. I would recommend this book, but not everyone agreed with me.
