Not going to lie, I spent about 20 min trying to look up the "latin" before coming to the conclusion that Gus' Latin is even worse than he is willing to admit.

The Last Trial - Scott Turow. Sandy Stern is back - so far so good.

ETA - finished it and I'll give it a thumbs up. Much, much better than Identical - the last Turow book I read (and hated). That was obviously intended to be a story for Hollywood and was pretty hard to take seriously. Turow returned to writing a story and characters that are complex.

The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman

The Nine by D J Molles

Just finished Ray Bradbury’s
Green Shadows, White Whale.
It’s a highly biographical “novel” of his time in Ireland with John Huston and the locals while writing the screenplay for Moby Dick.

It’s brilliantly conceived, structured, and written. Two episodes in it would stand alone as outstanding short stories in the ghost story genre.

Shifting gears to start William Manchester’s biography of H. L. Mencken, The Life And Riotous Times Of H. L. Mencken.

1944. Physics professor Alfred Mendl is separated from his family and sent to the men’s camp, where all of his belongings are tossed on a roaring fire. His books, his papers, his life’s work. The Nazis have no idea what they have just destroyed. And without that physical record, Alfred is one of only two people in the world with his particular knowledge. Knowledge that could start a war, or end it.

Nathan Blum works behind a desk at an intelligence office in Washington, DC, but he longs to contribute to the war effort in a more meaningful way, and he has a particular skill set the U.S. suddenly needs. Nathan is fluent in German and Polish, he is Semitic looking, and he proved his scrappiness at a young age when he escaped from the Polish ghetto. Now, the government wants him to take on the most dangerous assignment of his life: Nathan must sneak into Auschwitz, on a mission to find and escape with one man.

This historical thriller from New York Times bestseller Andrew Gross is a deeply affecting, unputdownable series of twists and turns through a landscape at times horrifyingly familiar but still completely compelling
