This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic. The topic here, by my definition, is a series with a setting of Ireland, and career in the Guarda or RUC. These are the ones which came to […]
I’ve enjoyed many books and series by David Baldacci. Simply Lies is possibly a standalone or the start of a new series. The main character is Mickey Gibson. She is a divorced, single mom with two kids under 5. She has been a police officer and works for a private firm from home searching for […]
I continue to be a big fan of Charlie Donlea. Those Empty Eyes tackles the issues of child pornography, sexual abuse and trafficking but also incompetent law enforcement. So there are some triggers if that is a problem for you. There are minor mentions of characters from two other books by the author which was […]
Turn of the (Twentieth) Century Chicago is a place and time where history is raw and heartbreaking, but seedy and dangerous for those of the lower and immigrant classes. I was keen to read the story of a young first generation Irish American come to this blustering city to find his older brother and ends […]

I remember how I really wanted to read this book and started it but had something come up and never got back to it. Somehow I also had the wrong impression of the age of the main character in the brief amount I read which was better once I actually read and knew more. That […]
What a ride!

This book picks up not long after the events of book one, Hounded, so there may be some minor spoilers to that […]
