Another Craig Johnson book. Love his style of writing and I enjoyed the story.
Note that the cover is wrong. Netflix dropped the show and Paramount picked it up.

2026 – Can I read 52 books in 52 weeks?
In 2025 I read 32 books… so I missed my goal of 52 by quite a bit.
For 2026 my goal is to, again, read 52 books in the calendar year. Some of these are fast reads others…not so much.
Also; the links below are to Amazon but they are not affiliate links so you can’t make me rich this way.
