Taking Religion Seriously by Charles Murray

 Spiritual autobiography from the author of The Bell Curve.

All-American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely

 Young Adult book with a "message" about a black high school student who gets beat up by a white cop after mistakenly being accused of shoplifting. This book was assigned reading for 8th graders in Danvers and created some controversy - with good reason. It's filled with obscenities, as well as cliches and ancient stereotypes.

The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie

 Miss Marple is called in to solve a murder. She actually has a small role in the story, which is narrated by a man on the scene (not one of the suspects). Marple appears a few pages before the end. It's a decent story but not among Christie's best in my opinion.

Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie

 Excellent classic Christie with Poirot using the little gray cells to solve a murder in retrospect. I got some of the mystery figured out but not all of it. Recomended.

When Christmas Comes by Andrew Klavan

 A pretty good short novel of suspense. It introduces Cameron Winter, an ex-Army operative with a melancholy nature. Good enough I'll try the next in the series.

While the Clock Ticked by Franklin W. Dixon

 #11 in the Hardy Boys series. This is a good one, featuring thieves stealing from ships in Barmet Bay and a mysterious old house with secret rooms. Chet Morton has a prominent role and is critical to the Hardys solving the case.

So far the best two Hardy Boys books are The Mystery of Cabin Island followed by this one.

The Leper of St. Giles by Ellis Peters (again)

 Re-read of an excellent Cadfael medieval mystery. This one is not just a good mystery, but has good spiritual insight concerning love and sacrifice. Maybe my favorite Cadfael.
