Book 14:  Indiana

“The murder of a minister’s family near South Bend at the end of April 1989 was, at the time, the worst case of mass murder in the history of northern Indiana.  Police very quickly focused on Robert Jeffrey Pelley, the son of the minister, Robert Lee Pelley, and within a matter of hours concluded that he had to be the killer.

But was Jeff Pelley, as he was called, really the murderer?  The case of the Pelleys fascinated Indiana for almost two decades – for every fact that seemed to suggest that Jeff Pelley had murdered his father, stepmother, and stepsisters, there were other facts that seemed to show he was innocent.

It took Indiana authorities years to charge Jeff Pelley with the murders of his family, and still more years to bring him to trial.  And the story isn’t over yet …

But the truth of what really happened on April 29, 1989, remains a mystery.”

Oooh, I do love me a good true crime mystery! 🕵

H is for ….

H is for …. Harry Potter if course!

“H” is another good listing! Some big names here like the Harry Potter series (only a couple shown), The Hunger Games, The Host, The Hobbit and Helter Skelter.

Hogwarts certainly is where my heart lies.  As I write this I am snuggled up in my Hogwarts blanket, with my Racenclaw socks on.  I love both the books and the movies.  I have just recently started to reread them.   My husband and I have a christmas tradition where we watch all the movies back to back.  I have 6 Red Foot Tortoises and they are all named for HP charaters, Norbert, Lily, Trevor, Dobby, Winky, and Fang.

I recently received an ARC of Hideaway from St. Martin’s Press and I am so excited to read it!  I dont think that I will be able to get to it before its publication date of 5/26 as I have a pretty packed reading schedule already but maybe I can squeeze it in somewhere.  Nora Roberts is always so tempting to side track for, though.  My favorite romance author hands down!  I am NEVER disappointed in her books.  When I have a heavy thriller/true crime spree it is so nice to break it up with one of her books. 

What is your favorite Nora Roberts book?
