Things are destined to be pretty darn quiet around Rap Sheet headquarters this Thanksgiving, as the ongoing pandemic plays havoc with any hope of family gatherings. The one consolation I have is that this lack of social contact leaves more time to read.
I already have a stack of books I intend to enjoy, among them Barack Obama’s new memoir, New Yorker writer Evan Osnos’ biography of incoming president Joe Biden, and Edith Wharton’s The Age of Innocence, which is celebrating its 100th year in print. In addition, though, Janet Rudolph has updated Mystery Fanfare’s already lengthy menu of Thanksgiving-associated mysteries, tempting me to experiment with something not already on my book pile. Perhaps J.J. Brass’ oddly titled The Turkey Wore Satin? Or Sammi Carter’s Goody Goody Gunshots? K. L. McCluskey’s Three for Pumpkin Pie sounds inviting, but so does Delia Rosen One Foot in the Gravy.
How appropriate—a feast of choices for Turkey Day!
