"The Cornbread Mafia" Good Book If you are not familiar with this term it is a name given to a group of people from Central Kentucky who grew marijuana in large quantities. These people did not necessarily grow in the same group or sell in the same group. I have heard about the Cornbread Mafia all my life but may not have heard the whole truth. The author tells a little bit different story from his interviews with the people involved than what has previously been disclosed. Anyone who is familiar with the Cornbread Mafia should read this book. That is all I'll say.

Finished "Cuts like a Knife" by M K Gilroy to be published in April. There is a serial killer on the loose but can Kristen Conner catch the killer or will her anger get in the way?
Good book. I enjoyed the character of the Detective Conner. The author threw in a second love interest but didn't develop it may be part of a new story that was hinted at in the end. I will recommend it to customers.

Best Bad Dream

Finished "Best Bad Dream" seemed to be a copy of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". Guy meets girl, girl helps guy, guy falls for girl girl may or may not be legit, girl disappears leaves message. The mystery in the story was good. Girl asks operative friend for help finding her sister and she may be mixed up with the people who did the kidnapping. It seemed the whole town may be part of the scheme. The answers were not obvious.

I just finished the new Kathy Reich's Temperance Brennan book "Flash and Bones". It is great. I did not at any time guess who "done it". A long past murder of a young couple seems to be related to a new body found in the Charlotte race track's dump. The original investigation seemed to be thwarted at every turn. Now the investigation of this new murder seems to be coming to the same dead ends.

Just finished "Beach Trip" good book a bit confusing from jumping backin time and then to present. The story about 4 women friends since college going on a reunion trip. Necessary to relive past and the method in latter part was prob best way yet it switched method in mid of book
