My job: to terrify kids

Rock Paper Scissors
Alice Feeney
Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeney is a cleverly written, very entertaining thriller that kept me reading till very late last night. I love books where every character is keeping a nasty secret! You might enjoy it, too. https://t.co/hewQfYua7n

The House of Wolves: A Thriller
James Patterson
James Patterson doesn't need my help to sell books. But I just want to say his newest, The House of Wolves, written with Mike Lupica, is terrific fun. Lupica can write sharp, snarky dialogue with the best of them. And if you're a football fan, it's a real treat. https://t.co/qc7HTPZ8oI

The Lincoln Lawyer
Michael Connelly
We had an all Michael Connelly evening. Watched an episode of Bosch:Legacy on Amazon. Then started The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix. I’m so happy for @Connellybooks. He’s a good guy and a great talent. Can you tell I’m a fan?

Two Nurses, Smoking: Stories
David Means
I don't usually read short stories. But the stories in this book by David Means are startling and clever. The first story is a tense thriller told from the point-of-view of a dachshund. https://t.co/IKj051jQJ1
