Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday is a gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week(s) and explore great book blogs.

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at Hooked by A Book (formerly The Printed Page) and is on tour for the month of January at Lori's Reading Corner.

Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.


Well, what to my wondering eyes should appear....I ran out to do some errands, and when I got home and picked up the mail, yeah, two books were in the box.


In this remarkable legal page-turner, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Barry Siegel recounts the dramatic, decades-long saga of Bill Macumber, imprisoned for thirty-eight years for a double homicide he denies committing. In the spring of 1962, a school bus full of students stumbled across a mysterious crime scene on an isolated stretch of Arizona desert: an abandoned car and two bodies. This brutal murder of a young couple bewildered the sheriff ’s department of Maricopa County for years. Despite a few promising leads—including several chilling confessions from Ernest Valenzuela, a violent repeat offender—the case went cold.


Tales of mystery, mayhem and murder from fifteen of the Chesapeake Bay region's most talented crime writers. Includes the Agatha and Anthony award-winning story, "Wedding Knife" by Elaine Viets and a foreword by Laura Lippman.

Loads of fun coming in two little packages!
