Read: Head Cases by John McMahon was my first five-star read of 2026, and that is a bigger deal than it sounds because the last time I gave a 5 was in January of 2025. The second in the series, Inside Man, is out this week, and I am committing this weekend to reading it.
From the publisher: FBI Agent Gardner Camden is an analytical genius with an affinity for puzzles. He and his squad of brilliant yet quirky agents make up the Patterns and Recognition (PAR) unit, the FBI’s hidden edge, brought in for cases that no one else can solve.
PAR’s latest case involves a militia group stockpiling weapons. When their confidential informant in the case is killed, it quickly becomes clear that the militia did not kill him.
As the squad looks into the evidence surrounding his murder, an unidentified man is caught on camera with their informant. This mystery man’s picture is connected to another case at the FBI, an unsolved series of murdered women, buried in the ground in north Florida. Could they have uncovered a serial killer? And if so, what is his connection to their C.I.?
As PAR juggles an investigation into both the dead women and the militia, they enroll a new informant, only to find the case escalating in dangerous ways. How will PAR handle a case that increasingly looks like a terrorist plot? And in the serial case, with no puzzles or witnesses, and few leads, how will a group set up to decode riddles be successful?
Do: It's time for a manicure. This may be the last weekend I have free time for the foreseeable future. I have very exciting news that should be coming soon. Stay tuned...
Watch: The new season of Sheland. I don't have a time of free time right now, so I'm watching in bits and pieces. At least it will last longer that way!
