🎧 Trailbreaker by Ruthie Knox, Annie Mare
The Prairie Nightingale series is a collaboration between two of my favorite authors.   It's a new mystery series about a professional homemaker turning into a private investigator.  I absolutely LOVE it.  Prairie is a divorced mother of two girls.    She co-parents with her ex Greg. He is very successful and not a bad guy, just one who really didn't pay attention to Prairie, other than as his personal attendant.

A- #BookReview: Homemaker by Ruthie Knox and Annie Mare
My Review: I want to call Prairie Nightingale (and that really is the protagonist’s name and the story behind it explains SO MUCH about her character) a domestic goddess. But that’s not what she claims to be and that’s not what she really is. She’s calm on the surface and paddling like hell underneath just like everyone else - which we know because we’re inside her head.

It didn't stop with Cambridge Analytica.
Nix was banned from holding similar roles again in the UK, but went to work for a Mercer family-funded big data co in the US. Not sure where he is/ what that is now.

The US government got into big data too. This is from 2020:

🎧Her Cold Justice by Robert Dugoni
I have loved everything I have read from Robert Dugoni. The series I've read are all mysteries of some sort: a police procedural, a spy thriller and now a legal thriller.  Her Cold Justice is the next in the Keera Duggan series.  The setting is Seattle, as some of his other series and we have seen a few characters in the police or CSI I recognized.

I expect 5th & Harrison to be improved a bit with the Stadium project and 5th & Thomas is an opportunity area for Seattle Center once Thomas St. Redefined is done. The Mercer frontage could be improved by reclaiming pedestrian space. The drop off area seems like an anachronism from an earlier era.

Nothing on the colophon that indicated it isn’t from a real print run—I have some Ian Fleming trade paperbacks from Covid that were print on demand, but they said so, and were fine, as well bound as the real Thomas Mercer editions (a slightly different card stock for the covers).

First book of 2025… and it’s a cracker. THE LODGE by Paul Finch. A “dark tourism” tour of murder sites brings together a disparate group who spend the night in a remote mansion once owned by a horror movie star. Then the killings start and nobody knows who to trust. Thomas & Mercer, January 15.
