The Ruin was the first in the Cormac Reilly series. Cormac is a homicide detective in Ireland and has been for 20 years. He has had real success but has just transferred from to a new location because of his girlfriend, Emma’s job. He’s being shunted off to cold cases in the new unit. Now […]
On The Edge is the fantastic first book in The Edge Series by Ilona Andrews. I’m not one to reread books, but Ilona Andrews is one of a handful of writers I will reread. It’s been a few years since I first spent time with this series and I’m so glad to be diving back […]
leo The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). I love K9 stories and liked another series by this author. Overall this series is a bit too dramatic for me in the romance storyline. Kindle freebie on December 30, 2024Â (currently $5.99 at Amazon and in Kindle […]
The third leg of the Lost Night Files trilogy that caught fire with me from the opening paragraphs of the first book. I loved the spooky, mysterious locations, the mystery, the conspiracy and intrigue, psychic abilities that needed to be controlled, and, of course the romances of the previous two books and looked forward to […]
This author always comes up with something rather creepy with a big twist. She gets you rooting for someone only to find out they are not what they seem Beautiful Ugly is the story of an author and his wife who love each other but stop communicating well. Dire consequences follow. There’s the mystery of […]
She Doesn’t Have a Clue isn’t going to be for everyone, but it was definitely for me. Jenny Elder Moke is a new to me author. I really enjoyed the main character, Kate and how messed up she was in a cute way. The murder mystery on an private Island during a wedding weekend was […]
I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet. So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series. I have been wanting to read the Brothers Sinister series for awhile after reading […]
This is another Detective D.D. Warren story. So far, I would say that you can read each story without having read the previous books in the series. They all seem to stand on their own pretty well. Each story follows a case. This case is about the Harrington family. They are all found murdered, the […]
I always enjoy the Bree Taggert series.  It’s a police procedural, with a found family, and there’s K9 work too. I’m very attached to Bree and her family, her relationship with Matt, and her old partner, Dana. Bree has revamped her force and it includes more women now. She still hates the politics, press conferences […]
Turbulent times in Elizabethan England when the Protestant Reformation continues to battle with Catholicism, Spain is threatening a sea invasion, and Queen Elizabeth must constantly prove she can hold her throne. Sir Francis Bacon is one of her brilliant intelligencers and for this second entry in Anna Castle’s well-researched historical mystery series, he has sent […]
