Unreliable narrator's drive me nuts until I finally click that they are "unreliable" by intent. Than it becomes a lot of fun to put the puzzle together bit-by-bit all the while wondering if the pieces you have in hand are even part of the same puzzle.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-12060110075119404542021-01-12T15:00:38.225-06:002021-01-12T15:00:38.225-06:00Goodness how many books are in the Kellerman serie...Goodness how many books are in the Kellerman series by now? I remember reading some of those in the early 90s. I think the Nalini Singh book sounds really good plus it's got that foreign setting! And, totally know what you mean about falling behind on blog posts. Once I don't post for a while for whatever reason, it's somehow harder to return but we all eventually do right?

I found them in the library in the 90's I think. I liked Milo because he was one of the first gay characters in a popular series and definitely not the smooth, amusing kind.

I'm betting you've been pursuing other creative endeavors. I've decided our home is my creative palette (that's what I tell myself). I haven't read Jonathon Kellerman in years but they are popular in my Little Free Library. I like cold case mysteries though.
