Wilde Series #2

Wilde has grown up knowing nothing of his family, and even less about his own identity . All he knows is that, as a young child, he was found living a feral existence in the Ramapo mountains of New Jersey.

He became known simply as Wilde, the boy from the woods.

Now Wilde has had a hit on the DNA website he has been researching. A 100% match. His father. They meet up, and Wilde soon realizes that his father doesn't even know he had a son and is as mystified as Wilde is by his existence.

Undaunted, Wilde continues his research for his family on DNA websites where he becomes caught up in a community of online doxxers, a secret group committed to exposing anonymous trolls.

Then one by one these doxxers start to die, and it soon becomes clear that a serial killer is targeting this secret community - and that his next victim might be Wilde himself.  Proving once again that you should be careful what you wish for!

It was ok, maybe 3 out of 5 stars.  I found myself bored with it.

Kiss the Girls and Make Them Cry by Mary Higgins Clark

 
 Kiss the Girls and Make Them Cry  by Mary Higgins Clark-384 pages


When investigative journalist Gina Kane receives an email from a “CRyan” describing her “terrible experience” while working at REL, a high-profile television news network, she feels that it would be a GREAT story to investigate. The story feels like it is taken right out of current headlines and follows the #METOO movement.

As more allegations emerge REL's counsel Michael Carter attempts to keep the story from coming to light which makes him take more and more undue risks.

And if this is not enough going on in Gina's life..her recently widowed dad is in a hurry to get remarried and her employers legal adviser told her to break up with her longtime boyfriend because of conflict of interest.

Typical Mary Higgins Clark, there are many characters and plot twists.  It was worth the wait, I enjoyed it very much.

The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal

                                       









The Lager Queen of Minnesota by J. Ryan Stradal-349 pages

This book follows the live of two sisters.  Each following very different paths.  One who knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life from a very young age and allowing nothing to stand in the way of it.  The other who took care of loved ones along the way, seemingly for nothing to show for it in the end.  Yet, both realized there is nothing like the love of family to see you through the tough times.  A story of love, sacrifice, forgiveness and family. And I learned alot about the beer making process.   I enjoyed this book very much.
