I'm reading Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter by Blaize Clement. From 2006, this story takes place on a Florida Key back when the state was was still a nice place to live. There are instances of people who are bigoted, prejudiced deplorables but the descriptions of the birds and trees and the ocean all around sound so lovely. Plus, the dogs and cats being cared for by the protagonist are a joy to read about. And then there's a very mysterious murder. So, all in all, a great book and I look forward to reading more in this series.

Listening to No Exit by Taylor Adams. A college student is stranded by a blizzard at a highway rest stop in the middle of nowhere. She'll have to spend the night in the rest stop with four complete strangers. Then she stumbles across a little girl locked inside one of their parked cars. There is no cell phone reception, no telephone, no way out because of the snow. "Full of shocking twists and turns, this beautifully written novel will have you on the edge of your seat."
