Khadaji’s Whatcha Reading Thread - July 2025 edition

Finished Nightshade, by Michael Connelly. A woman’s body is found weighted down in the harbor on California’s Catalina Island. A new Connelly protagonist, Detective Sergeant Stilwell, who has been “exiled” to the rustic island due to department politics and whose first name we never learn, must investigate. It was okay but felt kind of like a throw-away. What I’m really waiting for is the next Mickey Haller book coming out later this year, The Proving Ground.

Next up is Never Flinch, the latest by by Stephen King.
