I finished Finders Keepers (Book 2 in the Bill Hodge's Trilogy) and rated it four stars. It was a real page turner!

I started The Undergound Railroad and moved it into my Did-Not-Finish shelf on Goodreads. As someone who enjoys historical fiction, I couldn't handle all the inaccuracies -- starting with an actual underground train in the early 1800's and leading to skyscrapers, elevators, and the government 'owning' slaves in South Carolina. As a fiction novel, the author is welcome to envision the past however he pleased, but it was too jarring for me.

I moved on to A Cold Day for Murder, which is the selection for the April 2017 Mobile Read Book Club.
