I end up reading more nonfiction than fiction these days, but certainly enjoy a good fictional yarn from time to time.

Basically a police procedural, but set in England and New England in the mid 1600s. An obsessive official hunts for fugitives responsible for the death of the king when Oliver Cromwell took power. Harris recreates life in both old and new worlds in this period piece. Good, but could have been shorter.
The importance of water to mankind, past, present, and future. Lots of facts, figures and statistics which makes this an informative read, but the writing is a tad pedestrian.

A murder mystery/psychological thriller with an intricate, he-said, she-said plot. Good writing. Tracks the descent i to madness of the protagonists. Good plot/character development. Edge of the seat suspense. Some scenarios were improbable, but hey, itβs fiction. For me, a little too much time spent in the thick weeds of psychopathic, manipulative relationships, but thatβs only me and, upon reflection, the book wouldnβt have worked without it..
