Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
My recent theory that I found an orange mom + an orange dad cat family is no longer entirely viable. That tiny colony has at least 8 cats and while at least 5 are orange, some are grey tabbies. Here’s a photo of two nearly identical 3-4-5 month old kitten at the same spot. Their real size is tiny.
A few weeks ago, I posted a photo of two orange cats hiding in the bushes. I walked past the same area today and spotted three orange kittens playing together.
I think this is an uncommon case of a male and female orange cat producing a fully orange litter. I couldn’t get closer because they were playing in an area with restricted access, so I took the photo from outside. The three kittens appeared to be around 3-4 months old.
Tracy Crosswhite is the older sister in a family of sharp shooters. One day, the younger sister Sarah disappears after a shooting competition. A man is arrested and convicted of her murder, but there is no body. Tracy suspects that the wrong man has been framed. Twenty years later, the body is discovered.
For much of the book, this is a legal thriller in which Tracy tries to prove that the convicted murderer was framed, while somehow also looking for the real killer. Robert Dugoni drops clues about what actually happened along the way. I figured out a few details, but not the central mystery.
I enjoyed the book for the most part and ordered the next three. Maybe I over-reacted, I maybe next one would’ve been a better choice. It gets 4*/5 on my shelves.
Why four stars instead of five? I don’t know. I don’t like it when characters start doing horror-movie stupid things. Turning what was a pretty solid legal/crime thriller into something resembling a horror didn’t work for me. I also want to see Tracy using her sharp shooter skills. Hopefully, book two will deliver on that. It should be home tomorrow.
