Book #1 - City of Suspects

Technically, this is book 3 but I'll do them out of order.

The first thing I have to say is this book has two of the best final sentences of any I've read. It's a really good read, not overly long, a mere 224 pages.

I stumbled on it by accident while looking for another book set in Portland, Oregon.

This book is a story about a female P.I. Named Jane Lanier who on a rainy night in Portland goes to her office to meet a client and finds a dead body. She makes it her mission to find out just why this man who she didn't know was killed in her office and why he wanted to meet with her.
The story is filled with references about Portland and little neighborhoods that I've been in, and a great deal of it is set in the Old Town/Chinatown area where I work.

It's the first book by the author Katy King, but it definitely left me hungry for more.

I'd give it 4 of 5 stars, and I'm planning on adding it to my collection so I can read it again at whim.

Hey, this sounds like a good idea

Since I spend a good chunk of my life on public transit now, I think I'll have to steal this from Girlzoot and do a 50 Book Challenge. I'm already half way through book 3 and it's only the 2nd. :-) I guess spending 12 hours in front of a computer waiting for End of Month/End of Year reports to process will add to a girl's thirst for knowledge. Of course, Books one and two were both Harry Potter novels and I've read them before, but I'm making the rules here. I'll try to post at least some bits of book reviews if not the titles.
Now I just have to figure out how to add some sort of trackage to this page.
