INCOMING

• Michael Connelly, The Narrows.  A Harry Bosch mystery, also featuring FBI agent Rachel Walling from Connelly's The Poet and former FBI agent  Terry McCaleb from Connelly's Blood Work.  This one's a sequel to The Poet.  The serial killer known as the Poet has resurfaced.  "Arriving at a derelict spot in the California desert where the feds are unearthing bodies, Bosch joins forces with Rachel.  Now the two are at odds with the FBI...and squarely in the path of the Poet, who will lead them on a wicked ride out of the heat, through the narrows of evil, and into a darkness all his own..."
• George Coote, The Serious Joke Book.  A large collection published in England during the mid-Nineties, so many of the jokes have political and cultural references that leave me scratching.my head.  As is often the case, many of the jokes are not funny.  There are some, however, that may make their way to this blog on Wednesdays.
