And the story continues
Butcher's hands - Ron; Ripley

This is book 3 in the series and it was just as exciting as the previous book. Abel worthe has yet again added a new ghost, new structure, and new subject to the village. While trio is meeting the newest subject and figuring out their next move, there is a lot going on behind the scenes that they are unaware of. As abel worthe's experiment continues, his once well disciplined and dedicated staff is falling apart as there seems to be a loss in order and staff start taking matters into their own hands. With every battle and ghost the subjects face, you really get to see their strength and resiliency. As I'm reading i keep wondering just how much more can these characters take. This book will have you on the edge of your seat while rooting for the people trapped in the experiment to succeed.

Reading progress update: I've listened 20 out of 405 minutes.
The Fine Art of Murder: A Katherine Sullivan Mystery - Emily Ripley Barnes

Yeah, I can't do this anymore. It's been nonstop "ugh, these younger generations are just so whiny, ungrateful, sloppy, etc."

 

1. No one dresses nicely for flights anymore. Gosh, some folks even wear pajama bottoms!

 

2. The teen granddaughter who's glued to her phone, not properly thrilled that her grandmother is visiting, and not visibly happy about the journal she was just given as a present.

 

3. The main character's daughter (the mom of the teen) gripes about how her husband doesn't help out, spends ages at work trips and comes back looking happy and rested while she's running herself ragged. According to the main character's private thoughts, this is just how marriages are when you reach a certain point in your life - the woman ends up doing more work, and that's that.

 

4. Some of the comments about main character's autistic grandson make me think that this aspect will eventually grate as well.

 

I thought I'd be able to wait this all out and then hopefully enjoy the mystery aspect, but no. And the narrator isn't nearly good enough to make up for the stuff that's bugging me.

The narrator is bemoaning the fact that no one dresses nicely for flights anymore. I get that she's retirement age and maybe supposed to come across as a bit old-fashioned, but this was first published in 2016. Unless you're able to fly First Class, plane seats squeeze people together as tightly as sardines in a can. Who wants to dress nicely for that? And that's not even getting into the issue of the clothes you wear so that you don't have to use up precious baggage space.

Ripley's RBI 01: Scaly Tale
Ripley's RBI 01: Scaly Tale - Ripley Entertainment Inc.

Wasn't expecting to finish the book like I did, so abruptly, but it happened.
Such a fun mystery of sorts. The legend of a lizard man.
Would you believe it?
Join the RBI on the mission to find out if lizard man is real. Fun and adventure along the way, with some interesting facts here and there. 
Great for young minds to have fun reading and learning! Some parts of the story are real, where the facts come in, and oviously the tale itself is fiction. Growing up on Ripley's Believe It Or Not, this book was fun, real or not!
Definitely one I would have my child read! After myself though.

Comfort Read Crime Books that might make good Forget The Pandemic Buddy Reads
Madam Tulip - David Ahern
The Case of the Missing Servant (Vish Puri #1) - Tarquin Hall
Dead Men Don't Ski - Patricia Moyes
The Talented Mr. Ripley - Patricia Highsmith

I'm happy with the suggestions already made but if you're looking for others, we could try one of these (I haven't read any of them)
