Yesterday when I opened the door to my home after work, the place was quiet. I was alone: my husband was still commuting home and my daughters were at university. I am still not used to being the only one at home by 5pm on a Monday. With my daughter no longer at high school, I think it is going to take a while for me to get used to these moments alone.
You may be wondering what did with my silent time. Yes, of course! I made myself a coffee, grabbed a new read, and put my feet up on the sofa. I had been wanting to start Pressure Point by Jessie Kwak since I had received it last week.
I haven’t read much of the novel yet so I will share a teaser with you from the prologue:
“Manu’s found that nothing helps a negotiation along quite so well as your enemy knowing just how close you can get to them.” (p 9)
(2019, Jessie Kwak)
I look forward to reading the third novel in Jessie Kwak’s Bulari saga. Guess what I will be doing when I get home today!
Do you enjoy gangster-type stories?

I’m a huge fan of “nordic noir”, crime thrillers set in Norway, Denmark and Sweden…Jo Nesbo’s books are an example of that…and nothing better than opening a new book and getting hooked quickly!

I sent it to my Mom when it was released…I’m going to see her next month and will get it from her then…it’s a book exchange….because I buy a bunch of books for her, I have dozens backed up to read!

That is the perfect way to share. I actually do the same thing with my mom except I read it first, collect them, and then take them with me when I visit her in South Africa. 😄

We have the same system…I take some up, pick up the ones she has…and then for many we release them to a bookshelf she has at her apartment complex for others to enjoy! I am overdue on the new Jo Nesbo!

I have to confess that this has been outside my reading experience to date. Maybe I should try one.

Gangsters, crime lords, and interesting characters set in a futuristic world makes for a great story. And Jessie Kwak is good with her pacing of the story.
