My May 2023 books read. I’ve been trying to finish up a few series I’ve started, mostly detective series like Craig Johnson’s Longmire books, now caught up except for the one due out this fall; Ellis Peters’ Brother Cadfael series which I started eons ago and finally finished; and Elizabeth Peters’ Vicky Bliss series which was new to me, but I liked Peters’ Amelia Peabody Egyptologist/detective series; and Aaron Elkins’ Gideon Oliver forensic anthropologist series. Most thought-provoking was. Umberto Eco’s The Island of the Day Before.
