THINK POSITIVE! HUGS!

 

If we were having Coffee/tea, I would tell you to come inside and select your drink from the hot or cold drinks here. I didn’t have time to bake a great as this has been a very stress week. Let us go set on the patio and we can exchange stories with everyone. The weather remains in the 90s° Fahrenheit. There has been done wind but no storms. The rash on my arms is acting up again. So far the medicine is helping it. I have been reading a lot from my TBR pile and new favorites are being released.

 

Eclipse

The are is gearing up for this event, August 21. As Idaho is one of the areas that will experience experience totality, expecting around 500, 000. Nineteen counties will experience it. Ok hotel, motels, campgrounds and lots have been book for over a year. It will enter the United States on the Oregon Coast and move Easy leaving the county on the South Carolina south coast. It will enter Idaho at Weiser and I reach Boise around 11:20 AM MST. It won’t be a total eclipse here. The libraries will have free viewing glasses and we hope to get them. Traffic will be bad as he way for totality is by 2 lane highways which are often clog up.  Have plenty of gas, food and water. This is the middle of the fire season so be prepared.

Carol Child, a radio reporter is upset when she is called away from her son’s 16th birthday to cover the death of a man hanging from the Hollywood sign. At the scene, she found it hard to believe the man’s death was a suicide as the police said. Carol has been given a radio talk show. She needs a gimmick for her show and selected to talk about woman’s relationship with me. The first show closed from a woman’s call saying sometimes it is necessary to stop a stalker by removing him. At this point, the story takes enough twists and turns as the subject is discussed. Carol works with a private investigator to find the woman and to discover if there is a cover-up by the Police. The ending will surprise you and leaves the question unanswered. I highly recommend this book and series.

A contest of physical strength among the focus to see who would be his handler. Mattie Cobb is nervous as this is Kobo, the German shepherd she trained for 14 weeks the first case. A large pool of blood found in a hunting cabin. Much to her dismay, Kobo wants to go off the grid. Mattie follows Kobo and he finds another dog, Belle. It was all Mattie could do to prevent a dog fight. When she gets control again, she finds Belle has dug up the body of a dead girl and was protecting her. The focus now was to identify the girl.

The characters are developing in depth, descriptions accurate and the trading and how a K-9 works are fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend this book.
