This week in Sunday Snippets 10.26.25…

It’s been raining for the last couple of days. I love rainy weather, so I’m not complaining. It got somewhat cold as well. It seems like we go from summer to winter here. I wore a long-sleeved shirt for the first time this fall.

I actually turned the heat on the other day. Right now, the temperature inside has been hovering around 68 degrees. I’ve been working on here, watching movies, and reading. Oh, and making sure cats inside and outside are taken care of!

Movie I Watched:

This movie was adapted from a book of the same name by A.J. Finn.

Anna Fox lives alone—a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times, and spying on her neighbors.

Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, mother, and their teenage son—the perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble, and its shocking secrets are laid bare.

What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems.

Twisty and powerful, ingenious and moving, The Woman in the Window is a smart, sophisticated novel of psychological suspense that recalls the best of Hitchcock.

Taken In Plain Sight:

I also watched Taken In Plain Sight on Netflix.

Series I’m Watching:

I’ve watched this series before, but I couldn’t find anything interesting to watch, so I’m watching it again. I’m watching it on Prime Video.

“The Bridge” is a crime thriller series about two detectives, one from the U.S. and one from Mexico, who must work together to catch a serial killer operating on both sides of the El Paso-Juárez border.

Marco Ruiz is a homicide investigator for the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, living in Ciudad Juárez. A family man, Marco is one of the last good men in a corrupt and apathetic police force that the powerful drug cartels out-gun.

When a body is dumped on the bridge that spans the “El Paso-Ciudad Juárez” border, Ruiz is forced to work with his American counterpart, “Detective Sonya Cross.”

Book I Just Read:

I finished reading The Book Club of Troublesome Women. I’ll be looking for more books by this author.

I think it would appeal to this audience. It’s not a thriller, but a good book of women’s fiction!

Summary:

By 1960s standards, Margaret Ryan is living the American woman’s dream. She has a husband, three children, a station wagon, and a home in Concordia, one of Northern Virginia’s most exclusive and picturesque suburbs. She has a standing invitation to the neighborhood coffee klatch, and now, thanks to her husband, a new subscription to A Woman’s Place — a magazine that tells housewives like Margaret exactly who to be and what to buy. On paper, she has it all. So why doesn’t that feel like enough?

Margaret is thrown for a loop when she first meets Charlotte Gustafson, Concordia’s newest and most intriguing resident. As an excuse to be in the mysterious Charlotte’s orbit, Margaret concocts a book club get-together. She invites two other neighborhood women, Bitsy and Viv, to the inaugural meeting.

As the women share secrets, cocktails, and their honest reactions to the controversial bestseller The Feminine Mystique, they begin to discover that the American dream they’d been sold isn’t all roses and sunshine — and that their secret longing for more is something they share.

Nicknaming themselves the Bettys, after Betty Friedan, these four friends have no idea that their impromptu club and the books they read together will become the glue that holds them fast through tears, triumphs, angst, and arguments — and what will prove to be the most consequential and freeing year of their lives.

The Book Club for Troublesome Women is a humorous, thought-provoking, and nostalgic romp through one pivotal and tumultuous American year–as well as an ode to self-discovery, persistence, and the power of sisterhood.

Book I’m Currently Reading:

I’m now reading All The Sinners Bleed by C.A. Cosby. This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but so far I’m really enjoying it.

Summary:

Titus Crown is the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, Virginia. In recent decades, quiet Charon has had only two murders. But after years as an FBI agent, Titus knows better than anyone that, while his hometown might seem like a land of moonshine, cornbread, and honeysuckle, secrets always fester under the surface.

Then, a year to the day after Titus’s election, a school teacher is killed by a former student, and Titus’s deputies fatally shoot the student. As Titus investigates the shootings, he unearths terrible crimes and a serial killer who has been hiding in plain sight, haunting the dirt lanes and woodland clearings of Charon.

With the killer’s possible connections to a local church and the town’s harrowing history weighing on him, Titus projects confidence about closing the case while concealing a painful secret from his own past. At the same time, he also has to contend with a far-right group that wants to hold a parade in celebration of the town’s Confederate history.

Charon is Titus’s home and his heart. But where faith and violence meet, there will be a reckoning.
