No Good Deed by Victor Gischler. Average guy gets caught up in violence and intrigue.
Fiction
An Act of Villainy by Ashley Weaver. I like this cover. Murder mystery set in the theater scene of '30s London. Weaver lives in Lousiana. I wonder if she has met Gischler? Weaver also works in tech services at a public library system but I will refrain from cataloger jokes. Hey, Weaver, here is the MARC record.

| 490 | 1 | $aAn Amory Ames mystery ; $v[6] |
| 520 | $aWalking through London's West End after a night at the theater, Amory Ames and her husband Milo run into wealthy investor and former actor Gerard Holloway. Holloway and his wife Georgina are old friends of theirs, and when Holloway invites them to the dress rehearsal of a new play he is directing, Amory readily accepts. However, Amory is shocked to learn that Holloway has cast his mistress, actress Flora Bell, in the lead role. Furthermore, the casual invitation is not what it seems--he admits to Amory and Milo that Flora has been receiving threatening letters, and he needs their help in finding the mysterious sender. Despite Amory's conflicting feelings--not only does she feel loyalty to Georgina, but the disintegration of the Holloways' perfect marriage seems to bode ill for her own sometimes delicate relationship--her curiosity gets the better of her, and she begins to make inquiries. It quickly becomes clear that each member of the cast has reason to resent Flora--and with a group so skilled in the art of deception, it isn't easy to separate truth from illusion. When vague threats escalate, the scene is set for murder, and Amory and Milo must find the killer before the final curtain falls. | |

When the Lights Go Out by Mary Kubia. The cover has the R in Mary printed backwards. Mystery novel with an insomniac having delusions or halluciantions of something. Sounds like a good book. Gischler content unknown. Kubica lives in Chicago. I wonder if she visits WI.
The Distance Home by Paula Saunders. Two kids grow up in post-war South Dakota. This is supposed to be "tender, searing, and unforgettable." Gischler content unknown.
I was speaking to a family friend who lives in SD. SD has about 870,000 people. The friend teaches at one of the state universities and a colleague got a call from the department head about a student who was complaining. SD is small enough that the student complained to the mom, the mom called the Governor's office, the Governor called the college President, the President called the department head, the department head called the professor. All of that plus, PLUS, the student was not even in that guy's class.
Sold on a Monday by Kristina McMorris. Depression era journalist drives by a desolate farm and sees a sign advertising children for sale. I'm not sure what the rest of the book is about. The back cover plot description is very thin. Gischler content unknown.
Lethal White by Robert Galbraith. JK Rowling sure doesn't need any press to sell new books. But, maybe an editor could tell her to cut back a bit? This novel runs 647 freaking pages long. Gischler content unknown.
NonFiction
Fortnite: the ultimate unauthorized guide by Grant Turner. I hear this game is very popular. Gischler content unknown.
