Dead by Sunset
Dead by Sunset: Perfect Husband, Perfect Killer? by Ann Rule, 4/5
This is an incredibly twisted true tale of manipulation, misery, and murder, made even more shocking by the fact that the real-life people involved were so beautiful and outwardly successful. I can’t even begin to imagine how the author gathered and organized the massive amount of information required to make sense of this convoluted tragedy.
Why I read it: a hand-me-down from a friend.
The Time of Contempt
The Time of Contempt by Andrzej Sapkowski, translated by David French, 4/5
In this installment of the Witcher Saga, Sapkowski really dives into the politics of his fantasy world, a focus that I did not find particularly interesting though I appreciated the worldbuilding. In addition, a satisfying amount of interesting characters (some new, some old), exciting scenarios, and a somewhat elevated tone, raised this book in my opinion closer to the level of the first in the series.
Why I read it: I’m gradually working my way through the series.
