Audiobook Review: I Don’t Know What You Know Me From by Judy Greer

I’ve been a fan of Judy Greer’s for a while now. While she may not be instantly recognizable to some, her acting resume is impressive and varied. She’s been in Thirteen Going On Thirty, The Wedding Planner, Arrested Development, The Village and 27 Dresses. One of my favorite roles of hers is Cheryl/Carol from the animated series Archer, in which she plays a psychotic railway heiress who likes auto-erotic asphyxiation, bobcats and country music. She often plays the best friend or kooky co-worker, which suits her well as she seems like she would be a really great girlfriend.

Audiobook Review: The Black Echo by Michael Connolly

When a body is found in a drain pipe in the Mulholland Dam, Detective Harry Bosch knows it’s more than just the tragic fate of a homeless man. The victim is from someone from Harry’s past and the investigation leads him down a dark and winding road that will test him in more ways than one.I don’t usually read a series out of order but that’s what happened and I read Nine Dragons, book 15 in the series a couple of years ago. It had good points but I didn’t love it and put off reading more in the series until now.
