I discovered this author earlier this year when I was looking for lawyer series.  I LOVED his Robin Lockwood series and hope to continue reading it soon. When I saw this new standalone, I was thrilled to read it. False Witness has several plots and mini plots with different legal cases.  I guess Karen Wyatt is mostly the main character. She was set up and wrongly imprisoned.

My Review: Everyone believes that they are the heroes of their own stories. Even the monsters. Perhaps, especially the monsters, so that they have justification for the villainies they permit. And commit. If the end truly justifies the means, then ANY means, no matter how terrible, are permissible in order to serve a righteous cause. It’s all about ‘the greater good’ and is precisely what makes that phrase so monstrous.

My Review: Los Angeles is possibly the ultimate ‘mirage city’. Not only does it appear in the heat haze of the California desert as a mirage, but what we think we see and know about it is a mirage created by the Hollywood star-making machinery that has painted the city as the place where there’s a movie star on every corner and one’s own dreams of stardom can come true.

Martha Wells is a great writer, I enjoyed her Murderbot series and have tried a few of her fantasies.  While they don’t seem to hold the same magic for me, they are well written and will scratch the...

I loved the debut of this The Serial Killer's Guide to San Francisco Mysteries  series last year and it continues to be fabulous.  Our main point of view and teller of the story is Capri.  She is a divorced mother of a graduate student daughter, Morgan.  At the time of her divorce, she had to develop a way to support them and came up with running a tour company about serial killers in San Francisco. 

Highly recommend

Title: Death At The SanatoriumAuthor: Ragnar JónassonNarrator: Sam WoolfFormat: eBook / Audiobook Length: 279 pages / 6 hours 42 minutesRating: 4 starsPublication Date: September 10, 2024 Challenges: Audiobook, Beat The Backlist, COYER, HRCYED 2.0, Mount TBR, NetGalley Review: Ragnar Jónasson's love for Agatha Christie shows in all of his work. This book was a rather good representation of that.

I chose this because I enjoyed another book by the author, Death at the Sanatorium. I was surprised to find The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer had many of the same characters and the previous book was a much appreciated foundation for this shorter book. Starting here, Helgi is on leave from the police work to support his mother who is ill.
