My Fifth Cannonball! I'm going full Cannonball this year! Last year was a total mulligan. I read a lot, but I just did not have the spoons for reviews. The plan is to get back in the game this year.

The Night Bird

January 30, 2017 by lumenatrix 4 Comments

The Night Bird (A Frost Easton Mystery) By Brian Freeman This is my very first Cannonball review ever!

I am going to start off by fully admitting the main reasons I read this book were: 1) it is set in San Francisco and I’m a sucker for home town stories; and 2) it was free on Kindle through Amazon Prime.
