<i>Once Upon a Time in Hollywood </i>starring [famous people]. Something about something in the 1970s. I think.<br />

<br />
<i>Downtown Abbey: the motion picture </i>starring [actors]. Film version of a popular TV show. I finally watched the film version of Miami Vice a few months ago. It was OK. I recall reading that Edward James Olmos was asked to take a role in the film and his rejection response was done as a video of him silently staring into the camera. I never found verification of this.<br />

<br />
<i>Lives Laid Away</i> by Stephen Mack Jones. Ex-police detective is asked to ask around Hispanic community to identify dead girl. Girl disappeared after an ICE round up and she was not the first.<br />
<br />
<i>Penny For Your Secrets</i> by Anna Lee Huber. Another cover illustration with people wearing hats.<br />
<br />
<i>The Paris Orphan</i> by Natasha Lester. No hats on these people. This is set post WWII so what's up with that? Lester lives in Perth, Australia, so if you're in town and see her around you'll have to demand an answer on the cover design by Faceout Studio.<br />
<br />
<i>The Paris Seamstress</i> by Natasha Lester. Wait a minute... which one of these books was first? A-Ha! It's this one! The author bio in this novel has more information than the other book. Same author photo though. Perth, by the way, was a fantastic city when I got to spend a semester of school there. That was 27 years ago though, so I don't know what the place is like now.<br />
<br />
<i>Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Demon</i> by James Lovegrove. I suppose this is a mystery. Let's skip straight to the author photo... Nuts! There isn't one. Let's check online... it is <a href="https://www.jameslovegrove.com/about/" target="_blank">black and white and small</a>.<br />
<br />
<i>Girl: a novel </i>by Edna O'Brien. Girl is kidnapped by Boko Haram. O'Brien lives in London. I've never been there but sure have seen a lot of photos.<br />

<br />
<i>The House of Brides </i>by Jane Cockram. This woman's last name is completely covered by library labels all over the outside of the book. Jane Cockram just <i>sounds</i> English but she is from Australia.<br />

<br />
<i>A Well Behaved Woman</i> by Therese Anne Fowler. I want to stick a hyphen in there. Like this "Well-Behaved". Fowelr was "raised in the midwest" which means dang near anywhere depending on the who says it. Midwest can be Ohio to the Dakotas, and the Upper Peninsula to Southern Illinois. That's about 830,000 square miles (using <a href="https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-area-calculator-tool.htm#" target="_blank">Daft Logic area calculator</a>).<br />
<br />
<i>Bomber's Moon </i>by Archer Mayor. I have not read one of these Joe Gunther novels in years.<br />
