The Bullet That Missed (Thursday Murder Club, #3) by Richard Osman

The Bullet That Missed (Thursday Murder Club, #3)The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this 3rd book in the series and can't wait to read more about the sleuths at their senior living complex and since some things and people's problems continue there are story lines I am interested in reading more about! I love all the characters especially Stephen in this book, Elizabeth loves him so much but does not trust? to tell others about his failing memory. Tons of laughs and very tense with how things are resolved. Highly recommended!

Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate

Before We Were YoursBefore We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

this is the gut wrenching story of a time in history when an evil woman, Georgia Tann stole children from struggling parents, put them in locations until they were adopted ---while there life was a nightmare as the Foss children realize their beloved life on the Arcadia boat on the Mississippi River, is forever changed. Told in two voices, the present day is Avery---a county prosecutor who works with her politically appointed father and is very close to her grandmother who has dementia. When an older woman at a nursing home, stares her down and "takes" her dragonfly bracelet---life changing events begin as Avery and a young man whose grandfather used to "find" people. All of this mystery throws light onto the abuses of the Tennessee Children’s Home Society orphanage and Avery's life and future is about to change! Based on the true story of Georgia Tann's iron hold on stealing children in the 1930s from poor parents with lies, this story is riveting and heart breaking, a must read!
