Finished another library book The Monkey's Raincoat by Robert Crais. This was a Goodreads recommendation that I enjoyed very much. Written in 1987 it had that classic PI feel that may have been influenced by Chandler and Hammett. Writing solid with good character development. The awards this title received were deserved. A couple of things that keep me from giving this a higher rating. There were three overly obvious coincidences that made the plot wrap up very neatly and the main character hopped into women's beds too quickly. Rated B- [3 stars].
Next will be Star Wars: Allegiance by Timothy Zahn, a recent Kobo purchase.
