I loved The Life We Bury which was the start of the Detective Max Rupert series, but he is barely present. I think now it may have been renamed as the start of the Joe Talbert series. Well on Goodreads, it is the start of both series which are intertwined in some parts. For the […]

I was happy to read stories by some favorite authors and also to try some authors, some of them I’ve wanted […]
