The Quiet Game is a novel by Greg Iles. It was first published in 1999 by Dutton in the United …
This was my first book form this author. I only heard about him because he recently died. It was so good that I'm going back to all his previous work. It's contemporary Southern gothic, and quite a page turner.

There is no foolproof way to prevent cheating or the use of LLMs, but there are ways to try to limit their use. Luckily for us, they happen to also be good pedagogy. Some of this stuff is not new. But the book provides a new review of all the way we can try to counter cheating without turning into cops. I don't agree with everything but it's worth reading.

It's another murder mystery with layers upon layers, which I like. But this time, the setting is Dicker's Switzerland, and himself as a character. As always, a very engaging page-turner.

If you like birds, this book will delight you. This lady has decades of experience rehabilitating and releasing birds. One day, someone brings her a baby blue jay. The book combines personal narrative, scientific info about jays, and is just a delightful read. She's a bit into some woo woo stuff but it's minimal in the book. If you need a nice summer read, that's the book to pick.
